DJ version of Spotify

Status:

by on

I'm a DJ. I want a DJ interface for Spotify, where I can play two tracks at once over the top of each other.

It doesn't have to be anything complex -- just two tracks and a crossfader would do the job. But if you fancy adding things like waveforms, pitch-shifting, and other functionality, that would be lovely too.

Make the "download" buttons optional

I have no desire to download MP3s through Spotify, and I never will. Can I have the option to hide the "Get" buttons, please? I accidentally click them sometimes, and they clutter up what was once a really lovely, bare-bones desktop client.

We've added a "Hide Purchase Buttons" option in the newest version of Spotify (Premium users only). You can find the option in the Purchases area of your Preferences.

Make starring tracks easier

In the desktop app I find sometimes I am listening to a radio station or subscribed to a playlist and I fall in love with a song. Problem is, the only way to star a song while I am somewhere else in the app is to click on the song's cover art, then mouse over the song playing in the list to see if I have starred it yet, then click star.

How about just a little star next to say, the volume, or random buttons in the control bar to show if I have starred the track, and allowing me to star it right away?

I think someone already posted an idea for a star shortcut key. This would also be ace, being able to map it to a function key or something similar to be able star even when the app is not in the foreground would be ace. EDIT: found the idea, go give it some kudos, http://community.spotify.com/t5/Spotify-Ideas/Add-Star-button-keyboard-short-cut/idi-p/111556

User Interface for Toddlers

Small children love music, and even toddlers know how to use an iPad or a touch-phone.

Would it be possible to create a skin/interface for small children that would allow parents to make playlists for their kids?

The interface should be as simple as possible, with mostly album graphics and different colors and symbols on the different tracks.

This interface should be opened with its own icon on the device.

Implement horizontal scrolling on laptops with TrackPoints

Status:

Some laptops such as the Lenovo ThinkPad series and many Dell Business laptops have a little joystick mouse integrated on their keyboard. I am not sure what it's general name is but I have heard some people call it a nipple mouse.

Below the spacebar on such laptops, there are with three buttons; two for left/right click and a center button, which, if depressed while scrollable documents are focused onscreen, will scroll the doc up or down depending on how you pull on the joystick on the keyboard.

Vertical scrolling in such a manner works fine in Spotify but for some reason horizontal scrolling does not. I have been able to replicate this on every laptop with this kind of pointing device.

It's not a big issue but it's incredibly annoying.

I am not sure how hard it would be to implement; it could take just a few lines or it could be be a driver issue.
