Spotify w/ V10 update

[DopeGhoti]

I want NAPSTER!

Things that are not the same, partial list: Music streaming; music sharing. Streaming wasn't added to Napster until well after it was divested of its original form.

I’d want a CD player. Sounds way better!

Some folks on Reddit have surmised that since the car doesn't have a way of asking for a default player (when you sign into Spotify) it will always send search requests to the screen for choice (between Slacker and Spotify).

I hope they add a feature to pick a default music stream provider.

I just pulled the trigger and signed up for Spotify Premium.

Just a reminder to all that you can get 3 months free of premium, just google it and you can find a link. Here is one I found for Canadians:

Go Premium – Spotify

But, seriously, the whole regression with no longer being able to request and play a song with voice control, and having to mess with the screen while driving, IMHO far outweighs any possible advantage to potentially having more choices. Maybe there's an easter egg voice command, like I discovered "Cancel Navigation".

Anybody figure out a safe way to search -> play music without crashing?
Or is that the whole idea, to force you to accept pre-packaged lists?

I wish people in Europe can address if this is the same thing they experience or not. I hope not - that means this has been a problem for a long time and won't be fixed for quite some time.

... and wax cylinders. There's room in the back for the His Master's Voice type horn!

but where's the subWOOFer ?

My spotify has been pretty buggy. Often times the next song won't load and same with the spotify menu. I need to load another option first then go to spotify for it to load.

Cant wait to get the update but i assume my SR+ will have it taken away after a period of time until the connectivity package is offered...if its ever offered.

How does Spotify even work for SR+ since it does not have LTE connectivity?

SR+ has LTE connectivity

SR+ has LTE connectivity

Oh. I thought it was only with Premium Interiors, like my LR AWD. I stand corrected.

Still struggling with Spotify in my M3. I have an extensive playlist and albums saved on my computer, but they do not sync over to the car. I can save playlists when in the car, but they don't sync from the car to my computer or smartphone. Sometimes I will save an album in the car and the next day it is gone. What am I missing here? I signed up because Tesla finally offered Spotify, but the syncing is a disaster. Spotify support told me to call Tesla. Tesla hasn't responded to my question about this. Does it work for everyone else?

Tesla has made LTE services available to SR/SR+ owners temporarily to try out the new streaming features including Netflix.

I just wanna know what bitrate Spotify Premium is streaming at in the Model 3.
Slacker seemed awful to me.

 

[AdamDederick]

I've been having the same issue where songs won't move to the next song or stop in the middle of the song for no reason. But it is also happening on slacker as well.

I was put off by this at first too, but then I read the page closely. Use the password reset tool, give it your Facebook login email address. You'll get an email with a password reset link. Use it, give yourself a password. You can then log in to Spotify using that email address and the passwords you've selected in addition to still being able to use FB login if you really want to. Go to the login screen in the Tesla MFD, use the email address and the password you will have just set up. Worked first time for me.

I read your response but I did it exactly as it described and exactly as you suggested. I only have one email address in life so there’s no confusion there. It’s the same password I use on Facebook as well. Nevertheless, when I use that email to request a password reset, I change the password (For the 4th time) and it just will not work when I use it in Spotify. It’s driving me nuts. It has to be something simple I’m overlooking but I haven’t figured it out yet!

This is pure speculation, but it might be that you're using the same password as for the Facebook SSO. Try setting a different password for the non-Facebook-SSO signin, just for grins?

Very interested in a resolution to this. Voice command is what I use to play specific songs almost every time. If it doesn't work anymore, that is definitely a big step backward.

I listen to a lot of continuous-mix stuff, and the V10 Spotify inter-track gaps are annoying. All the other clients do seamless-play, but the Tesla client pauses a bit to load the next track, interrupting any beat or dialog.

I actually contacted Spotify and through a chat interaction, we were able to resolve the issue. The problem was that there were two accounts associated with my email address. One account was a trial account from years ago and the other account is the one with all my playlists. They needed to merge both accounts into one and from there I was able to reset my password and at the same time associate my email address to the Spotify account. So happy that’s done. I have to say Spotify did a great job on support
