I get the frustrations but I have to say that the game solves my biggest issue with almost any multiplayer out there - being able to play with toddlers, kids and spouses who are not competent at gaming. I’m just so happy to be able to play together as 4 yoshis carrying the kids on our backs and lost lives dont matter!
I have both and like Spotify better. It‘s WAY easier to navigate.
It‘s also possible to listen/resume on several devices (eg. switch from iPhone to Mac to Alexa to TV etc.) without interrupting or restarting the playlist.
