Why don't you just download the song and import it into Spotify? Spotify plays it like any other song and will even sync it with your devices like normal songs.

I agree, Spotify is missing a few things that you want, so the solution is to abandon it and buy all of your music instead? That doesn't make sense.

Why? Standard trade comes with a lot of standard expectations: I buy, I own, as long as I can make sure I don't lose it.

no lossless support, bad organization of local files, bad searching of local files.

spotify can be a local player but it is a terrible choice.

"Can't play file" for no reason is my favourite do add to that.

Spotify just ain't a particular good music player.

Also, for me, it exhibits a bug where the first 1 second of a stream is played twice. Incredibly odd.
