Just having a play with the Spotify app for my android based home-theatre. I can only assume you need to be having a drug-induced psychotic episode to understand it's logic.

Take queue management. Surely browsing a collection and choosing what song or album to stick on next is bread & butter for a music player? Winamp made this easy 15 years ago but even finding the play queue on Android is quite a feat. The hunt includes amusing pitfalls like an identical icon taking you somewhere else completely.

Or when viewiing an Album, what are you most likely to want to do? Call me old fashoined but I'd choose the following:

1. Play the album
2. Add the album to my queue to play next

But no! There's not even a play icon anywhere! Queuing is buried inside a non-obivous menu option but it's really easy to hit hit that bloody radio icon and interupt the song you're listening to. Just to be really clear (this also goes for the windows app), there's a big button for "play random other songs by this artist" but there's not a big button "play this album". Right...

Sure all the social features are nice but let's get our priorities right here. I mean, no ability to modify the queue: wtf!?

As a simple test - can you imagine anyone unfamiliar with the app having half a hope of choosing what song to stick on next without clicking the wrong thing and interrupting the music? The first generation iPod could pass this test, This app certainly couldn't.

Am I missing something?
