Spotify for desktop: writes hundreds of gigabytes of data to the disk

If you're using Spotify's desktop application to listen to music, you'd better temporarily change your habit and listen to your favorite music from the Web or from a Spotify mobile app.

Several subscribers reported that the service's streaming apps for Mac, και Linux γράφουν εκατοντάδες gigabytes δεδομένων κάθε μέρα στους σκληρούς δίσκους των χρηστών, ακόμα και όταν το λογισμικό είναι σε αδράνεια και υποτίθεται ότι δεν αποθηκεύει σε τοπικό επίπεδο, σύμφωνα με το .spotify

It's not clear why this is happening, but you should definitely avoid the Spotify desktop app for now, because the very common data, on your hard drive can reduce the of his life.

Even SSDs that do not have moving parts have a limited number of write-read cycles, and unnecessary Spotify recordings with tones of data can cause a decrease in performance.

Spotify with a statement at Ars Technica reported that it corrected the problem with the 1.0.42 version, which will soon be released if it is not already released for all users at the moment.
