Not working well for me at all. Chrome OS, latest stable update. I can get download speeds up to- get this- 80Mb/s on the device in question. My laptop does fine on the desktop client, and it only gets 40-50Mb/s. If 3Mb/s is enough for streaming, then 80Mb/s should make it easy, right? 😉
Side note: the web player needs a drag-and-drop-enabled interface. Saw a post from 2013 saying "we'll probably have that soon, still in beta" but it's been 3 years and we got nothing. Are we still in beta? ...that would explain so much...
To be honest, the web player needs to be redone from scratch. If you're not gonna do it, give me access to the servers so I can make my own interface or something. It'll take a few years to get a basic interface, but at the rate you guys are changing things, I'll have the world's best UI before you add this much-needed feature.
No, if there's a way to make a UI that uses Spotify's servers to stream music, then I'm serious. I'm a kid willing to make his own Spotify interface with HTML5, Javascript, and a Chromebook. I'm planning to learn this stuff anyways, and it would actually be a great way to develop the skills. Besides, if I leave it to the professionals, it probably won't get done.
Thank you for accepting input, if anyone actually reads any of this.

Edit: Wait, there's a beta interface? I'm gonna check that out then.
Another edit: So I think I found my issue... hehehe... I'm at the other end of the house as the router, bringing my speed down to 8Mb/s somehow (despite not having a big house, 1 meter can be the difference between 40 and 4). And it's usually very annoyingly unstable at school, and I just remembered that our school's internet can be 50Mb/s during a study hall yet it can be <null> Mb/s when you're the only one in the building. I think that's the problem... Still, it does need drag-and-drop. And I'd be willing to make my own (poorly-designed) version of the UI, if at all possible, mostly because it would be a good way to help me learn Javascript and HTML and such. (I'm still waiting [im]patiently for Chrome OS to get Android apps so I can hopefully run the desktop version on CrossOver. That would fix most of my problems with Spotify.)
