The Spotify UX (on Android) has always bugged me, allowed actions are inconsistent (you cant long press "recent search results"), adding/managing playlists takes a ton of clicks and all actions besides queuing require a long press (and usually some more clicks after that).<p>Searching, queueing and adding a song to your favourites are in my opinion the most important actions in a music app (besides the player), and for that they seem incredibly cumbersome (not just in Spotify).<p>Which music app/platform/player do you use that you think works better than Spotify?
Man, I have bounced around between music players and have more or less settled for Youtube Music. The desktop Chrome applet-player-thing is somewhat decent as well.<p>All of them have some sort of bonkers UX choice somewhere that you have to put up with and unless you go back to buying all of your music and taking it offline, you just pick your poison.
I use Soundcloud in addition to Spotify because Soundcloud connects with rekordbox.
I’m not sure about queueing, but it has more music on it from less well known artists, and you can also upload your own. I think it just makes music a more interactive process.
I wrote my own because I don't want to stream access to media I already posses through the internet and I don't want to be limited by arbitrary stupidity Apple imposes to prop up streaming media or its app store.
Google's Music app (<i>not</i> Youtube Music, which is what it turned into) was mostly fine. The UI was predictable, being able to upload your music was great.
