Geeking out right now. I've been waiting for this update for what feels like forever!
I'm a member of Spotify's beta group (Soundwave, soon to be retired 😢) and eliminating Flash was my #1 recommendation / complaint with the music sharing process on Spotify. So pumped to see my ideas + opinions turn into real changes + features!
You can no longer queue up songs, which I'd consider to be a pretty fundamental feature of a music player. I don't understand why Spotify keep regressing their various clients.
interesting... so you can't search for specific songs/musicians in this version, which means that the curated stuff is forced upon me. Not the best feeling and a big con for me tbh.
I'd been using Apple Music for a while when I discovered Spotify, and I must admit it's an entirely different experience. Way better recommendations, playlist and overall look of the application.
The only drawback is that it is still not available legally in Ukraine (where I am from) so it's a bit inconvenient to use VPN to access the service all the time.
So I (and many other Ukrainians I believe) will really appreciate if Spotify is available here:)

Finally!! I say: good riddance. Glad to see the old Flasher going to sleep with the fishes. If only the web player can be just what it's supposed to be: a web player, and not an app launcher. Can't be too hard to implement, right?
@eldsjal Any new bells and whistles other than dropping flash?

@eonpilot@eldsjal Quite simplified compared to the previous interface, which is a good thing I think. It is more of a player than copying the native app online.
