Not who you asked, but I notice a lot of lag when I'm searching/navigating/etc in Spotify. I understand that it's fetching a lot of this data from their servers, but the UI itself is also laggy when I'm browing local files, scrolling through playlists, etc, so it's not just serverside.

Not to mention the SSD-destroying & CPU-hogging habits of the application. That being said, I still use Spotify because I really value the music discovery and algorithms... and nobody else offers a streaming service with a dark theme :)
