Make Spotify load faster

[mtgandp]

Spotify is not responsive. I just tested on my computer and it takes 8 seconds for me to open Firefox and get a song to start playing on YouTube. On Spotify it takes 15 seconds. There is no legitimate reason why opening a music player and loading an audio track should be slower than opening a fully functional web browser, navigating to a web page, and playing a video.

The issue is a combination of Spotify's slow startup time and slow page loads.

There is a legit reason for the app to load slower than a web page. Think about it! And 15 seconds to load? My heart bleeds for you... Just think of all the other things you could be doing in that 15 seconds
