Spotify Ideas

I have always been very frustrated with the fact that if I want to listen to a song or use it in a playlist (offline) within the Spotify app, I cannot do so with a song that is already on my device.

Example:

I use the Spotify app on my iPhone for most of my music listening. However, I have a handful of other apps that allow me to listen to my local music through them (like a game or workout app for example), but all these other apps can only see songs on my iPhone that were synced via iTunes. Say I want to listen to a certain playlist or album during my workout using my workout app, but I also want to listen to those same songs later in the Spotify app (offline, to save on data streaming). This would require me to have TWO copies of each song on my device (Which is rediculous! Who has the extra space for that?), one in the native music player library, and one synced using Spotify.

PLEASE find a way for the Spotify app to recognize the existing songs on a mobile device without having to sync them using desktop Spotify. No one should have to have duplicates of local songs on their device. Compatibility with the local native music on a device would be a godsend!

Something that I really miss is a Spotify app on Philips Net TV.

I use my Philips Home Theater System for streaming music from my NAS with Net TV.

But it would be great if I can listen my Spotify Premium music list with Philips Net TV too.

Maybe with an extra function that I can select the song on my Android of iPhone with Wifi.

Or, if this all isn't possible.

Add a function to the Spotify Android of iPhone app that you can select an external player within the home network, to stream the music to.

It would be very nic.

To avoid running up data charges for those of use without unlimited plans on our mobile devices:

It would be fantastic if spotify could detect the absence of the WiFi network and automatically switch to offline mode to avoid streaming on 3G/4G. Ideally, you could turn this option on or off depending on your preference. Even the ability to simply turn off 3G streaming would be an improvement (this option already exists for synching). 

As it is, i have to remember to turn offline mode on and off everytime i leave a wifi network. This frequent toggling of the offline mode has resulted in the loss of my synched content on several occasions. Adding this feature to the settings menu would save me time and money, improve the overall experience of the app, and create another draw for the premium subscription.

Anyone agree? Thanks!

First thank you for the joy of discovering new music everyday with your great application.

I'm a premium user who follow many of the country lists that spotify regularly updates. The main device I use this feature on is an iPhone. The thing is I have to memorize the order in which playlist is "listed" to know the music of which county I'm listening to, since the full name of the playlist cannot be displayed. I can only read "Top 100 track currently..." for the 9 countries I keep track. 

It would be great if the name of the playlist owned by somebody else could be renamed.

As a second best, it would be less great but still really helpful if your country list names could be changed  to something different than "Top 100 tracks currently in...", like beginning with the name of the country.

I would love to have the option to hide offline lists when I am offline.

I use folders for all it's worth, and I have so many playlists and while my playlists are awesomely organized, it would help so much to be able to not see the playlists I have chosen to keep offline from my phone.
Basically, I wish the offline lists would load only when I was online with my app and clicked Offline playlists.

This would keep it all neat and clean. Folders in the app would also be awesome.
