Spotify's Fatal Flaw for Classical Music

And before some clever person tells me to hold my phone in landscape mode, no that doesn't work either:

Yep, I’ve experienced that! It’s soooo annoying. I’m glad I don’t pay for a subscription, bc if I did, that kind of thing would make me crazy. As it is, I just try to live with it.

Pandora is marginally better. Usually if you’re listening, the title rolls (or whatever that’s called) so you can see the whole thing (eventually).

Spotify does that too but you have to click on it and wait for a few seconds. If I'm looking for something specific it's quite annoying to have to do that.

I was wondering if there is something better with a more suitable interface. Like, for instance, having movements of a piece grouped together in an expandable list under the main title of the piece. I suppose most popular music has no use for this and classical is too niche for them to bother.

At the very least, they should allow you to click on the title, or tap it, and see the full title....

But yes, I think classical is too niche for them to bother.

I can't really figure out Spotify actually... I've been listening to Pandora for longer, and some how my playlists at Pandora are pretty reliable (even though I only use the free version) but Spotify just pushes junk at me. I can't figure out why...

Apple Music. It has a lot to do with how tracks are named, though.

Oh, that looks cool! It looks like they designed the whole app around classical music. I don't know why I was under the impression that it's not available on Android.

You could try IDAGIO. I think it's the only streaming app designed specifically for classical music:
