Spotify finally gets this most-wanted feature – and real music lovers will be relieved

Music lovers rejoice – Spotify has removed the cap on how many songs you can download to your personal libraries, meaning you can save as many tracks and albums as you wish. 

Previously, users has to adhere to a 10,000 song limit when saving songs to their 'Your Music' collections – a cap that could be quickly reached if you like to download full albums and compilations. 

If you did hit that 10,000 track limit, you would receive a message saying: "Epic collection my friend. There's no more room in Your Library. To save more, you'll need to remove some songs or albums".

According to The Verge, Spotify users have been requesting an end to the cap for years, although the company had argued that "less than 1% of users" reached that cap. 

That 1% is clearly important to the streaming platform however, and the ability to save an unlimited number of tracks to their personal library will surely appease Spotify's most dedicated users. 

There are some caveats, though; in its announcement, Spotify points out that you'll still only be able to download 10,000 songs on five different devices for offline listening, and that playlists are still capped at 10,000 tracks. 

You may still find that 'epic collection' message pops up for the time being; Spotify says that if this happens, "you'll get the new experience soon". Presumably it will take the company a little while to roll this out to its 286 million regular users (as of March 2020).

The future of Magic Leap's promising AR efforts dim after layoffs

The Magic Leap Two is now further away than ever, unfortunately. Today in a blog post the augmented reality pioneer announced major layoffs and has decided to cut up to half of its workforce, according to some reports. The original Magic Leap One was supposed to be one of the first mainstream augmented reality headsets when it launched in 2018, but a high price point and lack of interest from developers left the headset high and dry after launch. According to the blog post, Magic Leap says it will be focusing its efforts on enterprise solutions (a statement HTC has made recently as well) and shift its focus away from consumer technology… at least for the time being.  The company has been open about creating a second headset that would offer improved specs for some time, but how that work will now have to go forward without half of the team , according to some estimates, remains to be seen. Is the window closing on augmented reality?  Although it’s just one company, Magic...

Airship acquires SMS commerce company ReplyBuy

Airship is announcing that it has acquired mobile commerce startup ReplyBuy . The startup (which was a finalist at TechCrunch’s 1st and Future competition in 2016) works with customers like entertainment venues and professional and college sports teams to send messages and sell tickets to fans via SMS. It raised $4 million in funding from Sand Hill Angels, Kosinski Ventures, SEAG Ventures, Enspire Capital, MRTNZ Ventures and others, according to Crunchbase .

He also suggested that both the COVID-19 pandem...
