Spotify Ideas

Since the new artist details page was introduced (with the white background) the behaviour of playback has changed.  Previously if you double-clicked a song it would queue up all of the other songs by that artist.  Now all it does is queue up that album (or single!).  You can select all the songs manually and explicitly add them to the queue, but this isn't intuitive and doesn't support shuffle.

 

The only way I've been able to figure out how to listen to all songs by a particular artist is to create a playlist, and then add all that artists songs, which soon clutters up the sidebar!

Rocking the Lumia 920 and the only thing I miss is Spotify.  It's such a great platform and Spotify would make for a great WP8 app. 

 

In the meantime, can you at least port the WP7 to support new WP8 devices?  I don't know if I can stand waiting as long as it took for the Android app to come out...

Me and many others have bought inexpensive ARM based hardware for media center use. Sadly most Linux distributions for these platforms are built with hardware floating point calculation only, and the Spotify library for ARM is software only.

 

Would you be kind enough to compile an armhf version of libspotify for us? Based on the number of orders on the Raspberry Pi platform alone I would expect the potential number of Premium service users of this library to be 100.000+.

I know for a fact that myself and a lot of people I know would love a feature that lets you subscribe to an artist or a group, immediately letting one know when a new album/track has been released.

Please add release notes when Spotify for desktop is updated. How can we know which features are added, removed or fixed when Spotify tells us we need to restart? The iOS version provides release notes for each release, hopefully this can be added to the desktop version as well.

It would be nice to be able to open up the registration system to more people not just Facebook. This idea will never disappear. I figued I'd post it here in this lovely new community of Spotify.

EDIT - Some clarity on this. When searching for an artist, you generally would select an album and hit play. When that album has finished, it moves onto the next album. This didn't use to be the case. 

 

So the new spotify update has broken the play queue.

If I search for an artist and then play a track, it queues up everything after that from that artist (which spotify has always done). However now, if I use a blank playlist (right click and select 'choose as current playlist') in order to clear the play queue of all the songs I didn't manually queue up, spotify just automatically queues up more songs when the play queue reaches the end. This is NOT helpful. This is INFURIATING. I want the play queue to STOP playing when it gets to the end.

 

Please fix this.

We want a ipad app! :)

Hi,

 

As the title says, in you newest big update, the Top title list has no more stars to put the tracks into our general selection, so we have now to look for them below and if the number of album is huge, it can take quite some time... So it would be better if you could put the little stars back into the top track list.

 

Thanks a lot!

The limited number of supported Android handsets shown on the Spotify web pages is disappointing.

 

In addition, claiming to not support newer versions of Android, while still allowing it to show in the market is weak.

 

Many phones and tablets will be upgraded to Android 4 / ICS in the coming few months and your user base, many of which will be unable to stably use the mobile client, will be quick to complain and may start moving on.

 

This is copy of many previous threads over at GetSatisfaction, including this one here: https://getsatisfaction.com/spotify/topics/when_will_spotify_be_ready_for_android_ics

It would be nice just to plug the phone on the car stereo and play one of the spotify radio stations and forget about it.

On the top listened to songs for me spotify should show how many times you've listened to that song, like itunes e.g. does.

For premium members create the spotify app for smart TV's and allow us to listen to music/ watch music videos wirelessly through our TV. There is currently a tunein radio app, and a Pandora app available for my TV. A spotify application would be amazing! 

 

Thank you,

A new version of the Spotify iOS app (0.4.23) has just been released, giving 320kbps streaming quality amongst other improvements. Can you please realease a new version of the Spotify Android app which is functionally equivalent to the iOS app? We need playlist folders (which iOS has had for some time) and 320kbps streaming. Or is Android always going to play second fiddle to iOS in Spotify's world?

 

Update 2012-04-16: Spotify iOS app (0.4.24) has now been release, and still no update for Android!

New to the forums but not new to Spotify. Recently I was at my brothers house and he had his Roku fired up with Mog and I have to say it was awesome! I argued the Mog vs Spotify with him for about an hour and it was a stalemate however the Roku argument he won hands down. I have looked through the forums briefly and have onyl found a few larthargic ways to add Spotify to the Roku.

 

I have read on some user groups that Spotify has plans to build an app for the Roku but they don't have a date or time frame. Does Spotify have an official announcement to bring there service to the Roku? I would like to know, if not I am seriously considering a switch.

 

I use my Roku with Pandora (which I can't stand) and to be able to use my playlists via the Roku would be the kicker that I believe would put Spotify over Mog and best of all I can tell my brother to shup up.

 

Thanks

Many albums that are released are meant to be gapless between songs. It's also something useful for concert recordings and other split music and media that is played through Spotify. This is a very common feature that is used by the best music programs. 

 

Is anyone else interested in seeing this implemented soon?

I'm pretty sure Spotify will accommodate for the bigger screen size on the new iPhone 5.

 

You never know though, considering how long it took the devs to make an iPad app.

 

The Spotify iOS devs should update for the bigger iPhone screen NOW.

 

The resolution is 640x1136 or 1136x640

  

Maybe Spotify could add more detail into the app with the extra space provided.

 

Also update the sync reference in the app to "sync over 2G/3G/4G".

  

My mockup:

 

I added a shuffle and repeat option. "actually that repeat one option we really want" =)

 

I also added the icon bar that is on the iPad. This would look very nice.

 

Since everything is now shown in the main view, the 'i" can be used for something else.

 

The "i" can just bring up the volume slider. Maybe you could change the "i" icon to a sound icon.

 

Not really sure where to put things, but this is just a mockup. Spotify will hopefully figure it all out. 

 

I have the full mockup PSD if anyone is interested. =)

 

 

Also take a look at this mockup: http://dribbble.com/shots/752134-Spotify-for-iPhone-5

• When somebody subscribes to your playlist
• When somebody "follows' you or adds you as a favorite
• ability to interact with users via their Profile page

You done a great job of launching apps (looking foward to more!) but its still tough to really communicate with other Spotify users.

 

and a big one re: Music

 

• Notification when an artist in your library has new material added to Spotify

Good news that the desktop Spotify no longer has artificial gaps between songs, but could this also be implemented on mobile, please?
