there should be no restriction concerning nr. of offline tracks. I have round about 40 GB on my phone and that should be the limit and nothing else.
If i'am in holiday (and offline) I want to choose from a large number of music files and I don't want to think about which tracks I want to take with me in holiday. They just have to be there!
We pay for it, so we don't want to have such limitations!
It's tricky for us to manage ideas with multiple requests. Please split this up into separate ideas or post in the pre-existing Idea threads matching these. Thanks.
I have been thinking about somethings in Spotify for Android.
The first thing is that the queue seems to be "backwards". When i press queue on a song i want it to be the last song in order, not the first. I want it to be as it is on Spotify for PC.
The second thing is that spotify crashes randomly sometimes, and it does for some of my friends too.
My phone is not the problem since I've got the Galaxy II.
Also, i would LOVE a pause and play button in the lock screen, and in the pull down-bar so that i can pause the music without having to enter spotify everytime.
I also think it would be nice if you could choose avalible offline for just a single track, not only for the whole playlist.
Do you recognize the feeling that music sounds better on radio than it does on CD, TV, Mobile etc.? One of the reasons for this is that radio stations speed up a song with 2,8%. In my opinion most of the songs I listen to sound better this way. I would be so happy if there was an (optinal) option to speed up a song with 2,8%.
I know it may sound silly but you should try it. You can try it using Audacity, when you're in Audacity open a song, than go to effects and click on 'change speed'. Than fill in 2,800 and click on OK. Audacity starts to speed up the song, this could take a couple of seconds. Than listen to the song, does it sound better in you're way?
I think it would be extremely nice to burn a playlist onto a CD. This would be a great idea for those who pay for Spotify Premium. If all this music is free and you can share it to anyone you want anyways then why not give the possibility of burning that playlist onto a cd. Good idea for those tht pay for premium anyways. SAY YES to a CD
Allowing songs to be burnt to a CD and played outside of Spotify wouldn't work for a number of reasons. It would mean that you could then cancel your subscription and still have access to the playlists. And we also wouldn't be able to keep track of song plays and compensate the artists accordingly.
As such, you'd need to purchase the songs individually in order to burn them onto a CD I'm afraid (using external burning software).
I know that Spotify isn't yet able to be available worldwide. But at least the Spotify Premium should be!
I live in Brazil and I can't use Spotify Free. I and thousands of people here are interested in paying for Premium service. Why not accept our money? We have an international credit card, we can pay via PayPal!
Many people have to pay a friend who lives in the USA or UK via PayPal and this friend does the Premium subscription. That is, we can use Spotify Premium, but we have some friend living in any area of operation of Spotify. What is the difference in the end if we can use? The difference is that Spotify complicates the situation of those who are willing to pay.
Please accept international credit cards! We want to pay via PayPal without having a friend as an intermediary.
Spotify doesn't want to get my money? You are losing many signatures because of this. It's a great idea!
Some artists (I.E. Lil Wayne, Wiz Khalifa, Kid Cudi, Lupe Fiasco, Childish Gambino) have mixtapes but not a lot of album, making spotify useless for fans of artists like these
I'm not the only one that whishes to sync non-local files to my iPod. I understand that Spotify can't just release all of their streaming music to even premium subscribers without negative consequences. Allowing full iPod syncing freedom would allow users to pay for one month, take all the music they desire, and then cancel their subscription with no consequences. This is piracy, and would certainly ruin the integrity and probably lead to the collapse of Spotify.
If Spotify were to allow non-local syncing, here's how it should be done:
Any non-local file synced to an iPod should have an expiration date of, say, 30 days. This way users would be forced to continue their monthly subscription in order to re-sync their playlists and keep songs active. If a user syncs 10,000 songs in one day and doesn't renew their subscription, the songs will expire and never be playable again.
The idea is simple enough, but I'm sure integrating this into song files and not counting days from the date on the iPod would take some finesse. This is where Spotify can help!
I would love to see this happen, and I don't think it's unreasonable to pay a subscription to receive full usage of the songs I stream from Spotify. Maybe this in addition to the ability to purchase songs outright would cover all the bases for Spotify. Eventually the price of renewing songs every month would catch up to itself and validate full purchase. Full purchase would simply wipe the date-stamp from synced songs.
hammeh is right. This would require control of software on the iPod itself. It would also require an "open" encryption system, or at least that the encryption would be shared with the manufacturer of the iPod.
I use spotify almost daily as an Elementary music teacher to play musical examples, and let the kids listen to songs I have no want/need for in my personal collection.
Is it possible to create a way to turn on/off stricter filters? It could be an idea for parents with kids who use spotify, people who use it in a professional and people like me who can't have the word "ass" sneak on the my projected screen for any length of time while I'm searching for a song. 5th graders eyes are like hawks. Stricter filters on lyrics/song titles/cover art would make my work related spotify experience much more convenient and allow me to use my spotify on the fly every once in a while without worrying about half naked girls with hands all over them (Maroon 5 cover) popping up in front of my young students.
Some of the playlists I download can get pretty big. I love listening and getting lost in the music on the way to classes/work. When I finish my day I would love to have the player to have saved my place so i can kick off where I finished. I know this happenes if you dont close the app but in this day and age to have a battery which lasts you need to kill all running aps to get a better usage.
The media player is just a bit bland in general. Many improvements could be made.
Hey. I have a few ideas I want to let you know about. Very recently I switched from iTunes to Spotify Unlimited full time.
I would really like to have "Plays" as a sorting option (with that I mean, just like Artist, Track, Album etc. are right now). Compare with iTunes. And also that every play counts, not just the once in that specific playlist.
A page with some ingoing listening statistics implemented in Spotify, why go LastFm? I of course mean one's own listening, and not the general in like the States or whatever.
"Fast scrolling" in the Spotify app (iPhone) would be super! Once again, for example the iTunes app, where you can scroll through just the alphabet on the right side.
As people mentioned before, it's pretty annoying that one can add duplicates into a playlist without notification about it.
Maybe this is possible to do in some way already, but I haven't figured it out; I would like to be able to see the queue tracks in the iPhone app, and be able to change order and such.
Also, there is some kind of a bug with the queue (I think both on phone and computer, but I haven't exactly figured out when yet, but I think when closed down and then started again). However, it only plays the queue tracks and then stops. This one was a little fuzzy, sorry :)
That's all I can think of for now on. I like Spotify, and I am really glad I changed, although I really like iTunes.
Cheers.
P.S. The spell check wants to change "Spotify". Hilarious. D.S.
Hello! Sorry but I just marked your idea as "not implementable" since we need you folks to post one idea per thread,,,,in order to update them and get them built. Use the search box to see if your ideas have been already commented and vote them up! Thanks so much for your contribution!! ;)
We're an online digital music streaming company. Selling physical products isn't any part of the service really.
So I'll mark this as Not Implementable for now.
In all of the other boards, clicking on the 'comments' takes you to the first unread comment. In this board (Idea Exchange), the number of comments is after the description of the idea, but clicking on it takes you to the first comment. It would be nice if, like on all the other boards, it took you to the first unread (new) comment.
If there is a song that I have not heard in so many years I search by song name, artist, album or even all three. I get nothing theres alot of artists albums that don't exsist. For example, Aaliyah theres one album missing that came out in 2001 "Aaliyah"
or the new album from Rihanna "Unapologetic" the album has been out instores and itunes. Also other artists songs I would love to own on my playlist don't exsist in Spotify. I know there are over a billion songs and it is a bit challenging but its not like it can't be done! Other then that you're doing great Spotify.
THere are many complaints about incorrect metadata, so would it not be agood idea for spotify tp automatically check ematadata for artists, albums and tracks against MusicBrainz (or a similar system)
I didn't see a place to suggest music that Spotify should have or try to get. I say that you should have the incredible sountracks to the Killzone games because you have nearly all of Hans Zimmer's other music. Thanks!
why are the original artists not always listed? there are so many covers by other artists but not the original or in other cases, the artist and song are not even listed (not a new artist or recent song either).
- In libary you got local AND spotify music, it would be nice if we could seperate those with a search filter or check boxes.
- Add dynamic playlists (like in Itunes)
- Virtual DJ app (I'd like to use my DJ control panel with spotify)
- The playlist filter always ON, unless you turn it off in options
- "Top songs function" would be nice to see a playlist of it in your own sidebar and not on your profile (And also add a column, how many times you played a song)
- the default spotify app 'toplists' -> allow to open the playlist to check that date the song is added, and to check last added songs.
- add a column to the songs with an icon and a mouse over tooltip bar, to see in what playlist they are. (its handy to check duplicates, ect..)
I new to spotify premium, so maybe some ideas are already implemented and maybe i just don't find them. Or maybe there are already posted on the forum, sorry for that.
Having a list of several ideas makes it difficult to track/update this Idea. Could you please create a new Idea for each of these or better yet search for pre-existing ones to add your vote to? I think most of these already exist in the Community (search box is at the top of the screen).
The licensing agreements we have simply wouldn't allow us to do this. We can only distribute the tracks we're allowed to by the rightsholders, so we don't have the right to do this with other tracks I'm afraid.
Please bear in mind that the Community is not an official Spotify support service. It's a place where we all help each other, whether we work for Spotify or not. So please use your discretion when using the forum.
