use web spotify

Does it matter if it's minimized?

this seems to work well, thanks for recommending it

nah it lowers my fps either way, even if i wasn't playing music. im pretty sure it uses a lot of CPU power

I had to turn off the "high quality streaming" option in the settings otherwise the spotify client gave me terrible ping spikes. Not the same issue but may be worth a try anyway, it shouldn't be utilizing very much of your CPU.

At bottom of the advanced options there is also hardware acceleration, i'd try turning that off as well

since theres a spotify related thread I have a question: spotify isnt available in my country and I thought about asking somebody from where its available to sign up using my email and then download the app with another apple id (which I already used to download pokemon go), so the question is, will I be able to use it that way? kinda derailing but maybe there are people who know something about that

just get hola for chrome and use spotify web, it works perfectly for me

Also if u use the web player you can control it in the in-game browser (albeit with some lag) which is nice for plebs like me who don't have multiple monitors bc alt-tabbing every time I want to skip or adjust the volume of a song gets annoying fast

Don't use hola.

why not?

I would rather use an app but alright, gonna try it with friGate, thank you for responses

just use foobar

i would very much prefer not to download my own music. i used foobar before but declared that it was too much work to download the thousands of songs in my playlist.

you can also use adblock with the spotify web app and avoid the annoyingly loud spotify ads (seriously i was listening to that shit on my phone and my ears started bleeding its actually way louder than any music ive heard using the app by like 10db at least)

i find spotify to lower less frames on my pc than opening the browser and doing anything else. thats the main reason i switched to spotify

TIME TO USE STEAM MUSIC PLAYER BABYYYYYYYYY

Pretty sure you can use Adblock with the web version too 2 birds 1 stone

is it good? i honestly just use my youtube or soundcloud playlists and wanted an easier way to combine everything into one

been using it for a while, it's okay but I doubt I would use it outside of when playing games

holy cringe
but back on topic i think that using a lot of resources is just the nature of a music streaming service
