I don't remember any of the MP3 players desperately trying to shove podcast down my throat instead of showing my music. They also never lost all my downloaded music in the first 30 minutes of an 11 hour flight due to a crash bug.
I've encountered plenty of bugs with portable music players. I've had CD walkman scratch disks, cassette players eat tapes and I've had SD and compact flash storage fail on me too. No technology is beyond failure.
A CD getting scratched isn't really a bug, it's a limitation of that technology and form factor. Is there anybody on earth that didn't scratch up at least a few accidentally?
It is a bug when the battery compartment is inside CD tray so if the battery flap isn’t shut flush you end up with damaged discs. This isnt normal operation of CD players, it’s a problem with the design of the unit.
That said, it was still one of my favourite portable music players because it sounded amazing and supported MP3 CDs too.
So just in those simple ways Spotify is worse.
