Is PLAY.spotify.com accessible at all?

[cfelledge]

Hello - 

I would like to use the play.spotify.com interface - NOT the open.spotify.com interface and not the app. 

IE was the only browser (that I know if) that did not force-redirect play.spotify.com to open.spotify.com (actually was the only thing I used IE for).

As of last week, Spotify stopped working on IE.  

So, is there any way to use play.spotify.com, or am I forced to go with open.spotify.com?

Useless, bugged, music stops... GIVE US THE OLD ONE !

According to Spotify support, they have killed play and are now forcing everyone into open.

I hate the app, I hate open.spotify. No functionality, no artist top 10 songs, why would you get rid of this? So one guy can try it on his smartphone once?

Terrible.

Feel just like you, been battling with this for weeks... What I don't understand is the fact that there are 100's if not 1000's of complaints about this and SPOTIFY gives zero **bleep**s about trying to sort it out or give people what they want!!!  Why **bleep** up something which was working perfectly for everyone!!??
