Apple doesn't seem to have changed any rules or gone out of its way to harm Spotify, but the existing framework convolutes the process without good reason. Customers can still buy audiobooks on the Spotify website, but like we mentioned, they are expected to navigate to the Spotify web store themselves. Ultimately, Spotify was forced to remove all calls to action, audiobook purchase links, and redirects to its web store from the emails sent to customers, just to get the App Store update approved. Just wanted to spread the good news for people out there also pulling their hair out due to shitty desktop app performance.A recent New York Times article on the matter adds that Apple refused to update Spotify’s App Store listing thrice after accepting the initial submission, even though Spotify involved lawyers in the development process to err on the side of caution. Now I just came across this after months of exhaustive searching, so I apologize if this is a well known fix. Well today, after Spotify refusing to load for about 15 mins, I went ahead and did my typical Google search for new solutions and finally came across a solution that actually works. I had just given up and figured it was just the way the app worked with traditional hard drives (because the app was as slick running as ever on my personal solid state MacBook Pro at home). I've tried every half assed solution offered up by Spotify and the problem persisted. 10 minute start-ups, blank black app window screens, search never loading, etc. For about half a year, the Spotify desktop app (at work on a hard drive based iMac) has had horrendous performance issues.
