New Idea

Hey guys :) 

 

Was listening to some Metallica today when I had a brainwave. 

 

I was listening to their top tracks which are shown here:

It has been a while since I listened to them but after listening to The Unforgiven (play had moved onto the next track), I remember being a fan of that album in the past. 

 

However, Spotify have no quick way to navigate to the album that The Unforgiven is on, without it being the currently playing track (in which case you can press the album name in the cover art section) which is annoying since I now need to go back to that track just to get to the album (of course I could search but I am lazy!)

 

So on that thought, can we have a "Go to Album" option on the right click menu on the Top Tracks for Artists?

 

Just another one of "those thoughts"!

Please note: This idea only applies to Spotify client version 0.8.8+

 

I will admit this is partly my idea, but it has also been pointed out by Dvipe19 on this Idea

 

On the latest client, the size of the album artwork has been increased, meaning that there is less room to display track information alongside it.

There should be an option to change the size of this album artwork (or turn it off completely). 

 

Alternatively, the album artwork could be shrunk to be the same size as it is for singles:

For comparison, this is what album artwork was displayed like in 0.8.5 (thanks to David for the screenshot)

Thoughts?

This concept was originally suggested by Dvipe19 on his Ideas Topic here, so credit to him. 

I think this is such a good idea, I am going to give it the glory of its own topic and some nice pictures! :) 

 

It would be very useful, if Spotify included a "Details" Tab on Artist Pages, like below:

In this new tab, it would be possible to view all of the artists tracks, in a list fashion, just like in the search results pages meaning they are sortable!!

Thoughts!?

Separate Artist with Same Name

Status: Under Consideration

Having used Spotify for a while, I think a major improvement would be to implement some form of Artist Splitting where the artist is of the same name. This would greatly improve experience especially as artist radio and related artists would actually be relevant!

 

Perhaps something like this: (excuse the poor mockup), with a splitter for each artist of the same name, with their albums, related artists etc below?

Hello folks,

 

We have passed this idea internally and the right team is considering it and thinking on the best way to display it. Check out this thread for next updates. Thanks for the feedback, we really love this and know how important is to listen what you all want. By the way, the mockup is good, thanks for this! ;)

 

ps: we are also working on the way to report incorrect metadata, so you will also be able to report which artists are duplicated and get them fixed. (idea requested here: http://community.spotify.com/t5/Spotify-Ideas/Way-to-notify-Spotify-of-incorrect-metadata-wrong-titl...

Ever since the new update, i'm are not capable of searching for songs/artist/albums on my Android device if I am offline. This is incredibly frustrating because this means I have to scroll through me playlist (containing over 700 songs on each playlist) to find one indivisual track,arist, or album. Spotify needs to bring this feature back to android devices.

Searching in your offline playlists has never been possible to begin with.
There's a popular idea here to add that feature though:

I view an artist's page. I see 15 followers. I know that one can not simply "stubble" upon this artist ... it MUST be searched for. So who are these people ? These chosen few who share a similar taste in melody, these who knew they're way to treasure, these 15.

 

My wish; is to go to an artist and see these followers and their "Starred Tracks", to know who these people are, to discover more of what I desire, I want to follow these followers. If this impossible, then at least show me playlist that a particular song has been added to.

 

Without the ability to know who these followers are, what point is there in showing the number of followers ? ... it is a taunt.

 

... I call for a more social Spotify.

My artists

Status: Duplicate Idea

I love MP3 players and CD shelves for the fact that I can browse what music I have to help me decide what to listen.

Now with Spotify I need to know what I listen in terms of searching artist/album/track. Usually it's too much and I end up listening to same songs.

I'd like to be able to define the artists I like in Spotify and Spotify would then allow me to browse that list of artists and selecting the artist it would show me all albums of that artist.

Most importantly, I could remove some albums that I don't listen to.

Simple idea, really. I dont want to manually create playlist per artist keep it up to date. I also don't want to keep subscribed to external services that will notify me when there's new album out as it probably isn't in Spotify yet.

I think it would be great if you could add an option to enable some kind voice announcement in the beginning of a song.

I mean like in the radio function. Sometimes listening to the radio I really like the song, but I don't know the artist and title of the song, so I have to wake the mobile up and look it up.

Would be nice if a voice told me in the beginning of the song what artist and song it is! :)

 

Hope you understand what I'm looking for.

Thank you.

I love the starred songs function for the computer. I use it as my song library. But on my iPhone I never use it because it is soooooo hard to find the song I want to play. Please format to where you pick the artist and then the song or just have a "starred artist" section so you could just quickly pick the artist instead of having to search all the time
