My Question or Issue

I'm a big fan of a German Audio play series called "Die Drei ???" ( https://open.spotify.com/artist/3meJIgRw7YleJrmbpbJK6S ), so over the last couple of months I downloaded and listened to a lot of them.

However, over time, I noticed a trend that clicking "View Discography" on that artist in the spotify android app takes an ungodly amount of time (up to several minutes) to display the list of albums for that artist.

I tried a bunch of different things, including clearing caches, uninstalling+reinstalling the app and so on, yielding no success.

Today, I tried something different: I went into my spotify library and manually removed all of those albums (plus I generally removed a bunch of other albums, too).

Now, that view is loading blazingly fast (which is good).

However, I want to address two different things so that hopefully an app developer can take a look at them:

1) I don't consider items in my personal library to be a valid reason for such a slow down. Please take a look at this kind of performance degradation. I don't expect every user to like the idea of diminishing their personal library for more performance.

2) Looking through the items in that "View Discography" view now, I can see that the last ~20 items seem to be missing. There is no "load more" at the bottom, so unless I explicitly search for them, I'll never be able to find them in the App.

Please allow loading more items if the first page for this view is limited to only displaying certain number (~250?) of items.

Thanks for reading, have a great day!
