Spotify Mobile App

I ditched Napster for Spotify purely for this app and heres my tuppence worth.

I dont want this to turn into a "my dads harder than your dad" type argument but I own 500 or so albums and still find a great use out of subs based music. Spotify also provides me with a way of ultimately saving money by being able to listen to whole albums on the iPhone (or pc) before taking the plunge. I spend a fortune on physical cd purchases, always have and always will and to me it is great being able to save some pennies. Not to mention a great way to have a "jukebox" for house parties - I dont own and never wish to own 90% of the UK charts but its handy for the girlfriend and her mates for example.

There are some issues with the app though (in my opinion):

1. I like the desktops artist radio (when available) as well as some of the other info you get.
2. Surely future versions could utlise a home page type thing on boot up? Could show recommendations, whats new, etc
3. Also, I regularly commute through an area that drops out of the 3g network for large periods, not to mention O2s occasional network issues and I would like to have seen some sort of way of queuing searches - it could work in a similar fashion to safaris use of multiple internet windows. My reason for this is during the 1 week or so I have used it I can think of dozens of times I ultimately forgotten what Im wanting to look for because I can only search one at a time and only when connected.
4. Adding tracks to playlists via app isnt very intuitive. I often find the quickest way is to interrupt what you are listening to to get an individual track onto an existing playlist.

My other problems concern Spotify in general. The shuffle function is nowhere near iTunes standard (lost count of the times a track has been repated before every playlist track has been played). Also, recommendations arent quite up to speed or extensive enough yet but this is something that comes over time.

Apologies for the lengthy comment and I know its mostly gibberish but in short the app does feel a little rushed but Id expect some big changes in future updates via user feedback.

Oh, and Id like to add that the catalogue sizes between Napster and Spotify was a big concern of mine but of all the 80s-00s searches my girlfriend and I did (mostly indie, electronic, and cheesey guff) it was very rare to find tracks that were not on both. The only track of the top of my head was Pure Imagination from the Willy Wonka soundtrack! (which I couldnt find on Spotify)
