Regarding their desktop client; totally true. I recently discovered that keeping the Spotify App idle over 2 days, it had written 50 GB to my SSD. Not worth killing my disk over this service.

Recommend this thread, where I became aware of the problem https://www.reddit.com/r/apple/comments/56auoi/huge_amount_o...

Ugh, there's so many things like this. My Spotify is also constantly adding data to my local app directory even though I told it through advanced settings to store all music on a different drive.

For an app that's just a web backend in a wrapper, it is horrifically inefficient.

Skip the app!

I would, but I honestly find the web experience to be worse, especially when it comes to playlists.
