can't find spotify on computer app store

Spotify for OS X is not available in the Mac App Store. Instead, you can download it from the Spotify site > https://www.spotify.com

Shame on Apple. this is the type of thing that sickens me about them, has made me stop recommending them, and and has me planning a switch to PC.

Profit is how our portion of the world functions. Its called capitalism. Someone makes a product or offers a service which I want and I pay them for it.

If you don't like Apple products or the way that Apple does business, then by all means move on. And if Microsoft is your cup of tea because you believe that they are somehow more magnanimous in their business plan, feel free to choose them.

But we can do without your pompous announcement of your personal feelings and decision. Your behavior here makes me uncomfortable and unwelcome with my different feelings about Apple's products and services.

And you are violating the Terms of Use which you agreed to follow when you created an account to use the Apple Support Communities. You agreed not to criticize Apple's product and/or business decisions.

And did you stop to think that it might be Spotify that made a business decision not to offer their product through Apple? That way they keep all of the profit, rather than splitting it with Apple, who gets a % of all sales through the App Stores, including in-app sales.

Your iPhone uses a different Operating system to your Mac. Apps are wriiten to work with iDevices or Macs. They need to write different App for the Mac, check to see if they have one already.

You are welcome

Don't let the door smack you on the way out!

Gee thanks, Dah•veed for making me feel a little bad for being sick of the proprietary warring and manipulation that appears in place of actual consumer satisfaction and which permeates our profit obsessed world. I guess I'm out of line to find it distasteful. I suppose I should shut up and not think different.

The last thing you said helps me, if true. I've more to say, but I'll save it. God forbid anyone should violate the TOU and criticize Apple.

Venders don't have a choice when it comes to iOS devices, because it's a closed ecosystem. If you want your product on folk's iPads, iPods and iPhones, you must go through the iTunes App Stores. And you share the profit with Apple, whether it's the cost of the content or the cost of in-app sales. But if you want your product on the Mac, which is not a closed ecosystem, and you don't wish to share the profit with Apple, you can distribute your product yourself and not use the Mac App Store.

I'm not big on music services, Apple's or anyone else's, so I don't have direct knowledge that is or isn't the case with Spotify. You've also resurrected a two years dead thread to make your complaint. And it was a pompous declaration.

My thoughts exactly. Apple could be great.
