So we are huge fans of the h1tchr album credits app on the Spotify desktop client as well as apps from KCRW, MusiXmatch, Pitchfork, Bluenote and many others. This week Spotify forced a new update which removes the App Finder and all third party apps from the client. Its an unfortunate reality and we were really bummed when our apps were suddenly gone.

Thankfully we did a little digging and we found cool kid Javier Santos post a super nice fix. He’s even going to tell you how to rollback the Spotify version with the App Finder and disable the automatic updates! Sweeeet. We recommend you google search for latest installer that includes app finder: Spotify 0.9.15.27. Install that first then use his instructions to disable auto updates. Working here!

Here’s a more complete walkthrough with links to the DLs from WIRED UK

“David Pattillo, AKA DP, AKA Strange Majik is a man that lives for music. He is a true student of the art ingesting anything that has to do with music and incorporating it into his work. From performing, to producing, to writing whatever he puts his hands on usually turns out pretty damn good and that includes his latest project, Strange Majik’s Lights On. Throughout his musical travels he came upon a relatively obscure musical collective in NY called the Lesson. Strange Majik began a collaboration with the collective leading to some of the best music to filter out of Pattillo’s brain.” Read more….
