Napster - AI Music & Experts

Once again I am a longtime subscriber I just had to delete the whole app and start over on downloading my music. Because it stayed stuck on the stupid music video screen blacked out and wouldn’t let me get to anything playlist nothing. It will freeze there and we are stuck please fix. Since the new update tho it doesn’t freeze but now it constantly skips over music. I can have my playlist going and it just randomly skips songs and I have to go back in and click on songs it skips and it’s not on shuffle. So constantly throwing off music vibes when i am trying to listen and relax so now I don’t use my playlist it even does it in the favorites just randomly skips over songs sometimes one and sometimes it will skip over six songs. For instance all my Whitney songs as you know are in order a to Z. I’ll start at the top it will play that one skip to the middle and when I try to go back to start a song over it will be a whole different song and eventually it will skip back to the end of beginning and stop playing. Also it doesn’t continue a song anymore if I am listening and get a call it I can either answer or decline and than it will start the whole song over even if it’s in the middle.

Although I’ve subscribed to this app for years, there is much that drives my bonkers about this app. The search engine is completely useless. Sometimes it requires investigating just to find certain albums from certain artists. It can not be assumed that all albums are listed under the “all albums “ tab. Also many albums by some artists are not available. Example, even though all Beatles mono mixes are available on CD doesn’t mean you’ll find them here. The most annoying part is the time it takes to load a new track when one is finished playing. You’d think with the speed offered to these music services, they’d be able to allow tracks to flow uninterrupted as is the case with any CD. Removing songs from a playlist is difficult and cumbersome. If I decide I want to remove a song from a playlist there should be an option while the track is playing to make a two click system that will remove it. There are plenty of other options listed while listening to a track, it should include an option for removing a song from a playlist. Lastly, would it kill them to include a small biography about the artist and album you are listening too? All in all an ok app that could be made great by these upgrades.

Update: Please fix the favorites section. It doesn’t refresh anymore in your downloads section but it does it in your library section which is really annoying. This app has had its bumps along the road but things have been running as smoothly as can be expected on this ever-changing iOS platform. I do like it and I like the layout of the downloaded tracks category with album covers beside songs. Unfortunately, the search function is still horrible. If you so much as miss a letter it won’t recognize what you’re looking for. Even then, it’s still hard to find certain songs even though they actually have the song in their catalog if you look hard enough. And I’ve noticed lately that they don’t have as much music as some other services. It’s usually not high profile music, just some random songs. For instance, I wanted this Psy song (not Gangdem Style, hate that song) and they didn’t have it though they have some of his other songs. Little things like that make me wanna switch sometimes but I’m gonna see how it goes for now. Hope things improve.
