The new design seems to be a server side change since I'm also getting it with 6.5. The bug however persists as you said.

Damit wir uns nicht falsch verstehen: Die Begrenzung ist 3 offline Geräte. Rein zum streamen kannst du auch mehr Geräte nutzen.

Zuerst einmal der Hinweis, dass das hier ein international Forum ist und man somit mit einer deutschen Anfrage eher wenig Leute erreicht. Zu deinem Problem: Wie viele Geräte werden dir hier angezeigt? Wenn man die Grenze von 3 Geräten überschreitet, wird das älteste wieder entfernt. Wenn es daran nicht liegt, mal versuchen die App zurückzusetzen (Spotify > Einstellungen > Cache und gespeicherte Daten löschen) und neu anmelden. Offiziellen Support gibt es übrigens hier: https://support.spotify.com/de/contact-spotify-support/?contact

People have to differentiate between artists like Adele who don't give their new content to any streaming service (free tier or not) where Spotify can't do anything and this case here. It's not an easy decision to make for Spotify. Part of their business model is based on getting new users who previously pirated most of their music to try Spotify Free and then convert them to paying customers. If Spotify now starts to make albums premium only it most certainly will lead to more and more artists wanting the same treatment. That would drastically reduce the appeal of Spotify Free and therefore hurt their business in the long run. So while it really sucks for us paying users, it's probably the right decision for Spotify not to give in to these demands.

They knew about this problem and still rolled it out to everyone. That feature is completely broken right now (calls, notifications, navigation commands).

"Habe dummerweise 5 Kinder" Na da hoffe ich mal, dass sie das nicht lesen 😉 Zum Thema: Spotify bietet bei Family bisher nur einen 50% Rabatt pro Mitglied an. Das kann also richtig teuer werden. Allerdings hat die Konkurrenz (Apple und Google) ja inzwischen deutlich attraktivere Angebote (bis zu 6 Familienmitglieder für 14,99) und Spotify hat bereits angekündigt, dass sie da nachziehen möchten. DIe 5 Kinder sollten also bald kein Problem mehr sein.

According to the app description it's only working with the new series 7 BMW for now. Hoping other models will follow soon.

So the only way to get the new design that is promised in the changelog is to install a beta version from an external source. Yep, that sounds like Spotify.

I got updated to the new 3.0.0.1124 today and according to the release notes there is supposed to be a new design. It still looks the same for me and many others. Does this get rolled out independet from the app version or is there something wrong with the update?

The new 1.8.0 version is supposed to have Lollipo fixes, maybe they already fixed this? I haven't gotten the update yet.

Took me a little bit, to understand what your problem is, so I thought I'll provide a screenshot for the Spotify team as clarification:
Under Android 5 there are no more lock screen widgets, so music has to be controlled via the Spotify notification. There are 3 options:
- No lockscreens notifcations: Not possible to control Spotify from your lockscreen
- Hide sensitive content: Not possible to control Spotify from your lockscreen. It looks like this:
- Show all notifications: Possible to control from lockscreen
The options Xaniel linked to don't help, because you can only mark apps as sensitve when you have the "Show all notifications" option enabled and it doesn't work the other way around.
To fix this Spotify has to set the notiications of their app to public.

Spotify or the label somehow messed up the release in some countries like Germany and the UK. It was online, but marked as not available. That is fixed now, so it should be available for everyone now. Unfortunately there are still some caching issues (I can't play it ony mobile - still says not available in your region), but these should go away soon.

According to this it is already implemented, but because they are still testing it is only activated for some users. Shouldn't be long until we all get it.

Connect for desktop has only rolled out to several users as far as I know. There's a discussion about that in the idea section. Therefore this problem isn't really a problem that can be fixed. We have to wait until it's rolled out to eveyone.

The newly released app for the Amazon Fire TV does not work for me (and according to Amazon Customer Reviews for many others).
I connected my phone and the Fire TV to the same Wifi, launched the Spotify app on my Nexus 5 and the Connect app on the Fire TV. No matter how often I try, the Fire TV never shows up on the device list on my phone.
Connect works fine in the same network with two mobile devices, so there must be something wrong with the Fire TV app.

I got the update to 0.9.13.24 last week, but there are no signs of a Spotify Connect feature for me (in combination with the latest Android app). Maybe it's a serverside change?

Wow, that's really bad. I hope you guys get refunds for your premium subscriptions.
Just a few thoughts about this:
1) There seems to be some confusion about the security problem: There was a security breach at Spotify not just one single user. They don't want to say what exactly was compromised, but it has to be something very essential to the security of the app. My guess is that it has to do with the encryption of the cached files because we are forced to redownload them. But that's just speculation.
2) Did you guys get the update that introduced the black design? It's pretty common on Android that older devices don't receive the newest app version at some point: Google Play doesn't show you the update and you can continue to use the old version without any problems.
In this case it is not possible to continue to use the old Spotify app anymore because of 1). That puts both you and Spotify in a bad position. You can't use the service you paid for anymore and Spotify can't relaease a quick fix, because they have developed the black design app for newer devices.

Hey everyone!
In my opinion, there should be no backlash from users. Spotify did inform their users about the update via their blog and many news outlets reported it. Spotify did what exactly they had to do. We are all very lucky that none of our personal information including our payment information was compromised. If anything, this is just a small hiccup for users. Recently there was a major security vulnerability known as Heartbleed that got reported and many companies are now urging their users to reset their passwords. Spotify is trying to protect you and your data. Would you guys rather have possibly your identity stolen or update an app? I'm sure everyone would pick to update an app. Spotify is very sorry for the inconvenince, but remember they are protecting you.
Note: Only one Spotify user’s data has been accessed and this did not include any password, financial or payment information.
We are lucky? If anything, Spotify is lucky that they didn't lose our data...
I have to resync all my music to several devices now, get them all into my home wifi to download my local files again. That takes a lot of time and effort. I can totally understand people who are on holiday or on the road and are frustrated because they lost all of their music just because Spotify auto-updated. Spotify could have easily done a better job informing their paying customers via email or push notification.
Additionally the news announcment they made is lacking a lot of information why this is necessary and my post about what the real reasons for this might be was deleted for weird reasons.
