Update 0.8.8.349 for the desktop client removed the indicator to see how long each playlist is in terms of time.
BRING THIS BACK -- and PLEASE add the playlist length indicator to the web player and the mobile apps too!
Who at Spotify thought this was acceptable?
If you DO bring this back... make it more accurate!
3.5 hours should not show as 3 hours! There is a huge difference!
*People get mad because you are dealing with their music. Music means everything to us, and when you screw it up, things aren't pretty. It's just like me going into your house and rearranging everything and in the process I stole something and left the toilet unflushed on the way out.*
In the latest version you can no longer search an artist's page for a specific album or song using ctrl-f. Please bring this functionallity back.

Hello folks!
We're happy to let you know that we're aware of this feature's popularity and we plan to add this back. The feature needs some improvements but we know how much you enjoy using the filter. To help us with the improvements, please answer our question posed in the following thread:
I'm not interested at all in the general recommendations of mainstream artists you promote, please create recommendations on the user preferences: that will make more likely to discover new music we'll like and PURCHASE it!!
Status:

We're making some changes to the Spotify service all the time, and one of these changes is to allow users to better discover music. You might have already experienced this with Radio - but now we hope to take that a little further.
You can read more about our changes to how to discover music right here - http://community.spotify.com/t5/Spotify-Announceme
Since the last update it's not possible anymore to choose where to save the files (Downloaded Playlists) in the Android app. I have two SD cards in my phone and I NEED to use the big one to save huge amounts of spotify music. Unfortunately this feature is not available anymore? This doesn't make sense at all to me!
Please re-implement it in the next update.

We'll be bringing this feature back with the upcoming release of the Android application. Please watch this space for updates.
From this getsatisfaction thread: https://getsatisfaction.com/spotify/topics/please_
Andres (Employee) over 3 years ago:
"We have no plans to make a browser based version, we feel we can provide a much better product with an app and offer features which wouldn't be possible via a web browser."
Today, webapps are the most spread apps, as they work the same across devices (cross platform).
Three years ago, it would be difficult to build Spotify for browsers, because it would require APIs that you could not simply access from JavaScript. Today, with HTML5, APIs exists for:
- Bi-directional secure (TLS) WebSockets with UTF8 or binary
- Native audio playback
- A whole new types of input types such as "search" and "range"
- 2D Canvas Context for advanced dynamic drawing of 2D elements (lines, gradients, text, images, shapes, raw pixels)
- Realtime audio processing/analysis with the Web Audio API
- Sandboxed FileSystem access (e.g. for offline playlists, local settings)
- Application Cache for offline usage of the app
- Drag & Drop API (e.g. for dragging tracks to playlists)
- History API for sessions and bookmarking
- Binary data: Typed arrays/ArrayBuffer, Blobs and File API (for reading files, writing files)!
- XHR2: Binary data with Ajax/XHR requests
- WebWorkers, multithreaded JavaScript
- CSS3: Keyframe animations, smooth transitions, shadows, custom fonts, new selectors.
- PeerConnection API for Peer-To-Peer connections!!
Today, Google Chrome (the world's second largest browser) got all of these APIs and more (except WebRTC, but it's in the dev build, so it will soon be here too). Chrome even have it's own built-in appstore (Chrome Web Store) where users can install extension/apps, without having to restart their browser.
Another approach to get Spotify to the web is to use Native Client (NaCl) to compile C/C++ code for the web. An example is the game Bastion that was compiled with NaCl to run in Chrome.
This would be the easiest way for the Spotify developers, as they only had to tweak their code very little to make it compile with NaCl.
( Offtopic: I made a chrome extension for Spotify, which convert spotify links to links with mouseover info, for example image of the album, artist name, title of track, popularity. Get it HERE. Thank you :] )

This is one time I'm all too happy to go back on my words from my previous update.
We're happy to announce that we have a beta web player available to some users. Keep in mind the beta version is still being worked on and will be available in the early part of next year. For now, try it out at play.spotify.com.
Since we're still in testing, that link might not work for everyone at the moment. If you're unlucky enough to not be taking part in the beta please just sit tight and we hope to be able to bring you the Web Player as quickly as possible.
We'll update this thread once the official version is released.

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.
