Spotify2 v1.2.24 – Discover more music with fewer API requests
The changes functionally tested on ARM in v1.2.23.1 are now available as the stable v1.2.24 release.
- Explore keeps the existing categories and adds “More music genres…” with 115 additional categories.
- Categories and category paging are generated locally and require no Spotify Search requests.
- Playlists are searched only when a music genre is opened: initially up to ten results, with at most one new Spotify Search request per invocation.
- “More…” resumes saved search cursors and reuses previously cached results.
- HTTP 429 handling respects Spotify’s Retry-After cooldown. If tracks are not cached, starting playback shows the remaining wait; cached tracks remain playable.
- Menu labels, category names and the new countdown support all eight language variants: German, English, Spanish (ES/AR/MX), French, Dutch and Hebrew.
- Native Spotty payloads remain unchanged.
