Spotify Mini Player Concept

Status:

by - edited

I made this a few days ago while brushing up on my UI/Photoshop skills. I wasn't going to post it anywhere until a friend mentioned it might be of interest to other Spotify users.

The idea came about, after I kept maximising and minimising Spotify just to see my play queue and sometimes jump down a few . This is my solution making it a less obtrusive way of seeing what's coming up and track jumping.

I'm sure there are lots of limitations as to why this can't be made into a real working taskbar item, but any feedback is still much appreciated.

The image is still awaiting approval so it might not be showing up for some. You can view it online here: http://forr.st/~UMb

Hello folks! Sorry for the delay on updating this idea...we have lots of them coming in every day..:(

We have discussed this with our Design Team, we have always loved this concept and we want to implement it. We know the mini player is being displayed in other services, we also will since it is a really great feature.

At the moment, we are going to mark it as "Not right now", check the thread out since we will come back to this in the future.

Thanks a lot for your feedback and contribution, you guys rock!

Collapse buttons for the desktop versions

To all Spotify desktop users out there:

There should be collapse buttons on main/apps and collection just like on the playlists. This would make it easier to choose what you want higlighted. It is also a problem on laptop and other monitors with a 16/9 ratio where there is limited vertical resolution.

From a die-hard Spotify user with at least 3 years premium account.

Android, Desktop (Windows 7 and 8), Squezzebox, XBMC all connected.

Hello!

This is a great idea and quite similar to this one, so I would bring the same comment and bring news as soon as we get back to this.

"We've been thinking about this request for a while and we like the idea, but at the moment we are going to mark it as "Not right now". We are working on ways to improve the design of Spotify but we have not come up with a final decision yet. We know some users prefer Apps and social features while others create a lot of playlist and prefer to minimize the album art work. Others use all of them.We're looking at the optimal solution but this isn't the last time you'll hear from us on this topic."

Thanks a lot for your feedback and check out this thread for futures updates!

adjustable fontsize spotify client.

Status:

I want to be able to adjust the fontsize of the windows spotify client, so i can use it on my mediacenter without binoculars. On a 42" tv it is just not readable unless you are right in front of it. That is not the idea of a mediacenter. So I don't use spotify on it.

Hello folks,

First at all, really sorry for the delay on updating this idea, we have a lot of them coming in every day so sometimes it takes time and we also have to prioritize. Hope you can all understand.

We are going to mark this as "Case closed". At the moment it does not really fit out our design philosophy. However we might come back to it in the future, so keep an eye on the updates.

Thanks a lot for your contribution and ideas, we really appreciate it :)

Windows Media Center Plugin

Status:

by on

I just recently started using Windows Media Center a lot and am loving it more and more now... I know there is already a post for Windows Media Center DLNA support or whatever that is called but that is not what this is about...

Spotify is alot like the Netflix of music, and Netflix has a plugin for Windows Media Center that places them under the "Movies" selection... would it be impossible to ask for a plugin from Spotify that goes under the "Music" category in place of the actual Spotify application? This would be great for someone like me that never disconnects the computer from their television.

I think it also would be possible also maybe to allow a visualization play with the music, and add an option to allow the Spotify plugin to download album art and use it as the screensaver on Windows Media Center.

Thanks for your time! :)

white noise mixer

Status:

I would love an app that mixed white noise in with what you are listening to. Right now, I have sites like http://www.rainymood.com/ and http://simplynoise.com/ playing in the background with my music.

For those who haven't tried it, try listening to NIN Ghosts album with some white noise of the rain... really keeps you focues and all outside noise away (when working in a public area like an office).

Changed back to "new idea" status - once this idea reaches 40+ kudos the Spotify staff will review it again and decide on a new status. ~ Peter
