Spotify regularly upsets me with change. Don't change a UI that looks good and works well just to hide something I need. It feels like it's just justification to have an entire team of client designers employed.

I remember when Spotify had Lyrics, which is an obvious choice of feature for a music service. It was off my a line or two, but it worked pretty well and I used it all the time. It was the best way to hear the music and see the lyrics that I knew of. Then, one day, I open the client and see that clicking the lyrics button showed a message that the lyrics feature was being enhanced and it'd be back soon. Then one day the button disappeared.

The only reason I use spottily over local music at this point is discovery, because they really do a great job at that.
