On: Ask HN: I'm looking for a Spotify software engineer to speak to

Yeah, similar frustrating experiences here led me to cancel my spotify premium subscription today and try Google play music, which apparently has all but one of the albums I regularly listen to. Normally that'd bother me but Google lets you upload your own songs and they're treated like first class songs, so I'm super happy with my choice.

Caveat emptor. There's no native desktop apps for Google Music, nor do they have an API for future integrations. On OS X, give Radiant Player a try.

I tried switching to Spotify but had a hard time moving playlists. More than half my songs were not found on Spotify.
