Just today I had the lovely situation to get an ad break during two podcast episodes on Spotify mobile (Android).
Changing the track does work but the ad break stays. BUT I could fast forward the ad.
I pay fucking Family Prem. for that shit. WTF?!
@The Haters: No, this was not a baked in ad by the podcast hoster but literally inserted by Spotify.
I switched to AntennaPod for podcasts because of this. It's also just a better experience - it auto downloads new episodes and deletes them after playing.
Spotify doesn’t do that?? That’s like feature #0 on a podcast app
Spotify can be configured to auto download, but you need to open the app. To my knowledge it doesn't auto delete after listening, but when it reaches the 4th latest release it is deleted. Personally i prefer that they're not auto deleted after listening because i like to share some podcasts moments with my SO.

Just FYI, those two things don't need to be exclusive. In this case Spotify is probably the one sponsoring the podcast, and so they inserted ads themselves, as opposed to the content creators including their sponsor ads. Many more successful podcasts are doing this now, and it seems like the ads get shoved in when there sometimes aren't even breaks.
Not saying it doesn't suck, it absolutely does. Just pointing out that it's a new trend. So it'll probably get worse!

As this was the WAN show by LTT I doubt that. At least the sponsoring.
Yeah, unfortunately could just be (probably is) good ol' enshittification then. In this case at least.
This is great but is there something like this that let's you upload a spotify playlist and buy that list drm free? I'm willing to pay if it means actual ownership
*Oh wait I didn't see what sub this was
Lol hahaha are you a fellow pirate or nah?
I'm not against it but it's not my first choice personally
Yeah sometime there is no other option.
Why not just use SoulSeek?
SoulSeek doesn't have podcasts.
Now, to be fair, I hate every podcast. But if I want to clip parts of the hosts being stupid to make fun of them in a blog, this utility and other spotify download tools are sadly needed
Hmmm. What is the catch? Seems like a honeypot a little bit.
I found double double website to be janky to download anything larger than 1gb (flac off tidal). I now use https://github.com/nathom/streamrip and haven't looked back!
Sweet, thank you for the link!
