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

If you use of Spotify to listen to music, it would be a good idea to temporarily change your habit and listen to your favorite music from the Web or from a Spotify app for mobile devices.

Several subscribers reported that its streaming apps ς για Mac, Windows 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 Ars Technica.spotify

It's not clear why this is happening, but you should definitely avoid Spotify's desktop application at the moment, because the very frequent recording of data on your hard disk may shorten its 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.
