Introducing Music Notifications on Spotify

[ Edited ]

Enjoy seeing what tunes your friends are listening to via Spotify? Allow me to introduce our latest desktop application.

 

With this update, you can receive notifications when someone edits a playlist you subscribe to or when someone subscribes to one of your own playlists.

This update will also add the number of tracks recently added to your playlist next to its title:

Other features include:

 

-        Performing iPod backups while syncing

-        Sharing your radio plays to Facebook.

 

We’re starting the rollout in the next couple of days. However, we understand if you just can't wait. 

 

Just click right here to start downloading.

First! Will it be updated automatically? Because I can't see any changes yet!

Re: Introducing Music Notifications on Spotify

However, this is a awesome option.

 

How about a option to delete all subscribers from playlist or hide them in playlist view?

Re: Introducing Music Notifications on Spotify

How can I disable these notifications? I didn't know about this update until after I updated spotify, and to be honest, I can't see any use for this. I'm sure a lot of people might find it useful, but to me it would just became annoying to see such notifications.

 

I'm sorry if it's possible to disable it but I couldn't find it anywhere?


Thanks for any help!

Re: Introducing Music Notifications on Spotify

No offense but the Spotify Developers or Spotify in general is not LISTENING to the CUSTOMERS... Why are you guys adding dumb features vs fixing the ones that are broken? Come on GUYS! Get with the program...

 

Let's get back to fixing what is broken and then worry about all the dumb lame features.

Jayy,

 

The feature in this announcement was requested some time ago.  I updated the thread status in February.  The feature has been popular for some time so we listened and passed it on.

If you're having any specific issues with Spotify other than the notifications mentioned in this announcement, you should feel free to link me to the thread.

Ok,

Sorry didn't realize this was a popular request.

 

I'm just looking forward to requests like: Improved RADIO! that has been asked for quite sometime. I just didn't realize what came out was such popular in demand. However I hope to see the developers work on the RADIO.

 

Thanks!

Re: Introducing Music Notifications on Spotify

Notifications does not work while the app running - I have the Spotify app running during the whole day and get no announcements from there!
