I bit the bullet and agreed to pay $10 a month for the "premium" service at Spotify, now that they've quietly eliminated my ability to renew my "unlimited" service when my credit card expired. I guess the unlimited service has a way for me to load songs on a flash drive and use them in my car, but I haven't figured out how to do that yet. It also allows me to play Spotify music on my WiFi radio, instead of being limited to Pandora.

I've never liked the search engine on Spotify, and a few months ago their new software eliminated my ability to display search results in alphabetical order. So, now it seems that the Spotify search engine is totally unable to search with any degree of specificity. I can put the name of a song, a performer, or an album, and then click for results. But I don't think I can specify to search for song titles only, or for a song by a certain performer.

Sometimes I'll search for a song and won't find it. Then I'll go to Amazon and search for the song and find the name of the album. Then I go back to Spotify and search for the album, and THEN I can find the song.

I've searched Spotify's forums, but haven't found any good search tips there. Can anybody help me find out how to navigate Spotify more
effectively?
