Microsoft may have its groove back but it's binned 'Groove'

I'm one step ahead of Satya!

I switched from Groove to Spotify about 6 months ago.

To be fair, Groove has a much nicer client. Better UI, cleaner text, more info on bands, faster load time, etc.

Spotify, of the other hand, *still* doesn't look into a directory of my choosing and let me play my own music files stored there (so, err, no, I won't be removing the Groove client just yet).

And Spotify *still* insists that I play everything on shuffle by default.

Spotify is 'usable', but not much better than that.

<sigh>

But Groove insisted that my household of 4 pay for four licenses to get 4 accounts.

Spotify gives me four accounts for the price of 1.5

It's not like Microsoft wasn't told. People have been asking - loudly - for household pricing for years.

A neat bundle with Office 365 home, using the same four accounts, clearly required too much cooperation between duelling departments to ever get off the ground.

Not your finest hour, Microsoft!
