Spotify Ideas

I love that Spotify automatically adds songs that I give the thumbs up to on a radio station, but like most people, I listen to lots of genres that are somewhat "mood based."  For instance, I don't want to pull up that playlist (liked from radio) only to hear Drake, followed by Dave Matthews Band, followed by Gym Class Heros.

When my iTunes playlists were imported, it created a hierarchy / parent / tree structure (not sure how to describe that in a technical way!) so it seems like the technology is already in the app, just not being used on this feature.  It would be hugely helpful and hopefully easy to implement.

Thanks for the consideration!

I would love it, if Spotify added internet radio etiher as an app or as a build in function. The possibility of having all the music collected in one single app or program, would be awesome. And I am not talking about internet radio as Spotify has it now, where it suggest new songs from the one you are listening to or by genre, but real internet radio, where you can listen to the local radio station in your area or to one of your favorit internet stations in another country.

Hey folks and welcome to add Kudos to my idea!

I'm a very big fan of Spotify and thanks already for awesome Android app I use everyday. However Spotify's radio on desktop and mobile keeps repeating same artists over and over all day every day forever and ever no matter what radio from playlist, song or artist you're listen. It's actually more crappy radio than this commercial crap when you open your FM radio and listening to Alexandra Stan 100 times in day.

What I would like to see is Advanced radio. As you can see, radio played to me in 25 minutes Irina two times and this is these days normal to radio in Spotify. This radio just repeats same artists many time in one hour, so I'm tired to this radio station in less than one hour... And no matter what radio you are listening. Also this play only Finnish songs in my playlist, where Russian and English songs? I have those languages in my playlist!

Radio for PC is a little bit better:

Played song in English, wow! Unbelievable.

Can Spotify improve radio?

All I asking is advanced options like:

- Do not play these artists again.

- Do not play same track again in 24 hours. You can change hours.

- Do not play same artist again in 2 hours. You can change hours.

- Play less genre Rock, play more genre Dance.

- Do not play banned tracks again ever, now I can ban only from radio station tracks I do not even care about. However let me see my banned tracks so I can unban them.

- Play Russian music 40%, Finnish music 40% and English music 15% and 5% other languages. You can change those percents.

- Play more/less music outside my playlist if I listen my playlist radio.

- Play more tracks I'm not listened before (zero plays).

- Play artists more if they are at concert near me and I listened those artists before.

- Play more songs I really like/thumbs up before like every two hour. You can change time.

- Play songs I listen on repeat more, because you know, I like those.

- More/less/no thanks at all to christmas/too commercial/christian/teenpop music.

And this way... You know. Those are for example, but I think those would be helpful. Stop repeating same artists to me because I go crazy when hearing same artits over and over. You have more than 22 Million tracks so why in the earth you keep repeating same artists? Radio is very good and important option, but keep it good. More music and less repeating. This should be foregone conclusion to everyone.

Do not make this radio too commercial. All I asking. Now add your Kudos.

PS: If I want to listen radio like this, I can turn on my FM radio... So no need to pay anything for radio in this quality. Do a better radio for product I pay monthly-basis. Many thanks.

See... Same artists over and over again. This is not a radio in any case. This is like tired and sleepy DJ.

I have a radio based on a playlist of +500 songs and I can't remember all songs on the list.

Sometimes, I use the radio to spot new songs, but since I can't remember songs that are already on the list, I occasionally add songs twice...

Could Spotify please add an indicator that shows whether or not the currently played song is from the original list or not?

Pressing spacebar in an app scrolls the page (or does nothing). I know this behaviour comes from the fact that apps is built using web technogly and run in Chromium that's embed into Spotify desktop, but almost everywhere else in Spotify spacebar is play/pause.

Also: Make cmd+L (OS X) focus the search input in apps/radio (as it is in the rest of the app) (I know that option+cmd+F works for this in apps/radio)

I desperately want a radio station genre for the 00's (2000 - 2009).

I think there should be a finer way to create a radio station you really like. You should be able to rate songs, artists, albums and genres on a finer scale, and then all the ratings would be considered for your personal radio station... The higher a song would be rated, the more often it would play, and broader ratings would carry over into the probability of songs playing, maybe skewed by the other recommendation factors now in place... So that the average assumed rating for otherwise unrated songs in an album, for instance would correspond to the rating of that album, but the individual songs still would play more or less often depending on how popular they generally are and all the other recommendation factors now in place.

There used to be a radio service called Launchcast some years ago which offered that level of customization (they used a rating scale of 0 to 100 for each item), but sadly they stopped broadcasting some years ago.
