    <title>article Monthly Ideas Review - June 2016 in The Blog Vault</title>

    <description>&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Every month the Community Team reviews our Ideas Board and present the ones we’ve updated in the past 30 days.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;We're here to take a look at the ideas we updated for you all in June. Curious what we implemented last year? Well check out our &lt;A href="https://community.spotify.com/t5/Spotify-Community-Blog/Yearly-Ideas-Review-2015/ba-p/1271644" target="_self"&gt;Yearly Ideas Review: 2015 here.&lt;/A&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;H1&gt;IMPLEMENTED:&lt;/H1&gt;
&lt;H1&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;&lt;SPAN style="font-size: medium;"&gt;1. &lt;A href="https://community.spotify.com/t5/Implemented-Ideas/Amazon-Echo-Support/idi-p/994540" target="_self"&gt;Amazon Echo Support.&lt;/A&gt;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/H1&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Spotify is now available on Amazon Echo. Spotify Premium users just ask Alexa to play any playlist (Alexa, play my Discover Weekly playlist on Spotify), artist (Alexa, play David Bowie on Spotify) genre and more from Spotify’s catalog.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;If you want to make Spotify your default music player follow these steps:&lt;BR /&gt;Open the Amazon Echo mobile app.&lt;BR /&gt;Under Settings, select Customize my music service preferences. &lt;BR /&gt;Under My preferred music source, select Spotify.&lt;BR /&gt;Tap Done.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;H1&gt;NOT RIGHT NOW:&lt;/H1&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;H1&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;&lt;SPAN style="font-size: medium;"&gt;2. &lt;A href="https://community.spotify.com/t5/Live-Ideas/Android-Swipe-up-amp-down-the-Now-Playing-View/idi-p/1298759" target="_self"&gt;Swipe up and down in the Now Playing view&lt;/A&gt;.&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/STRONG&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/H1&gt;
&lt;H1&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;&lt;SPAN style="font-size: medium;"&gt;3. &lt;A href="https://community.spotify.com/t5/Live-Ideas/DJay-Ability-to-use-offline-Playlists-in-the-Djay-app/idi-p/1233800" target="_self"&gt;Ability to use offline playlists in the Djay app.&lt;/A&gt;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/H1&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;&lt;SPAN style="font-size: medium;"&gt;4. &lt;A href="https://community.spotify.com/t5/Live-Ideas/Playlists-Play-multiple-selected-Playlists/idi-p/1240798" target="_self"&gt;Play multiple selected playlists&lt;/A&gt;.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;&lt;SPAN style="font-size: medium;"&gt;5. &lt;A href="https://community.spotify.com/t5/Live-Ideas/Desktop-Concept-New-Playlist-Layout/idi-p/1328200" target="_self"&gt;New Playlist Layout [Desktop]&lt;/A&gt;.&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;&lt;SPAN style="font-size: medium;"&gt;6. &lt;A href="https://community.spotify.com/t5/Live-Ideas/Notify-Me-of-Upcoming-Concerts-for-all-Artists-in-My-Spotify/idi-p/1014344" target="_self"&gt;Notify me of upcoming concerts for all Artists in my Spotify.&lt;/A&gt;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN style="font-size: medium;"&gt;We're marking this as 'Not Right Now', simply because we've already implemented a similar feature, although it doesn't have the&amp;nbsp;features you've described.&amp;nbsp;Now you can check your personalized Concert&amp;nbsp;section within the Spotify App&amp;nbsp;(found under Browse).&amp;nbsp;&lt;BR /&gt; &lt;BR /&gt;Much like Discover Weekly, concert recommendations are based on your own listening and picked specifically for you – meaning we surface the live gigs that we know you’ll enjoy, as well as acts that you’ll love to discover. &amp;nbsp;&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN style="font-size: medium;"&gt;&lt;span class="lia-inline-image-display-wrapper lia-image-align-inline" image-alt="Concerts.png"&gt;&lt;img src="https://community.spotify.com/skins/images/9C83BCDA8FF1CC2D11200FA785B098D5/responsive_peak/images/image_not_found.png" alt="Concerts.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;﻿&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;H1&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/H1&gt;
&lt;H1&gt;&lt;SPAN style="line-height: 26px;"&gt;Your ideas matter at Spotify&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/H1&gt;
&lt;P dir="ltr"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P dir="ltr"&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;Every week we update your ideas posted in the Idea Exchange. We're actively bringing&amp;nbsp;your comments and feedback to the teams here so they know which features are important to you.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P dir="ltr"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Dang, gotta feel for the Android users being rejected the swipe down Now Playing view idea. It works so well on iPhone (yet it's not on the iPad either)&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Also that playlist design concept is really nice!&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT size="3"&gt;&lt;EM&gt;&lt;FONT color="#000000"&gt;Your ideas matter at Spotify&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/EM&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT size="3" color="#000000"&gt;Yeah, sure. &lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT size="3" color="#000000"&gt;According to the official Spotify count, there are ~1900 live ideas right now. Yet, t&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;FONT size="3" color="#000000"&gt;he ideas are implemented at a rate of 5 per month or 60 per year (and that estimate is optimistic).&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT size="3" color="#000000"&gt;So, my idea might matter in 30 years or so, given that nobody submits any new ones...&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Here's an idea that wasn't approved:&amp;nbsp; Spotify family plan for Canada.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Here's my action as a result: cancelling all my family premium Spotify accounts and moving to Apple Music.&amp;nbsp; It's an inferior service, but I'm not going to keep paying more than double.&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;I've been looking around the recent ideas of the month and I would spend some time here, coming up with ideas, voting, discussing but it seems a bit pointless.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Seems like the implemented section is something they&amp;nbsp;did and errr that guy wanted it cool. The not right now is the good idea section where they only explain why not if they've "already" done it.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;This all seems pointless, sorry for the rant.&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT size="3"&gt;&lt;EM&gt;&lt;FONT color="#000000"&gt;Your ideas matter at Spotify... unless you're in the Microsoft ecosystem&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/EM&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT size="3"&gt;&lt;FONT color="#000000"&gt;Ideas with less than 1K votes have been implemented, because they're for iOS and/or Android or for all platforms at the best, while ideas with 6.5K votes (Xbox One app), 2.5K votes (Spotify Universal App for Windows -phones, pc, hololens and xbox-) are put on "not right now" status.&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;I had to switch to Premium Deezer, they are giving Microsoft users the app we deserve (on both phones and desktop, UWP), with amazing performance (opposed to Spotify desktop app which is resource hungry).&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;I might come back if things change here, for now I will enjoy a product of a company which cares about their users.&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;Love the idea of being able to upload your own photos as covers for playlists, I know this is currently a feature that only people in the Rock Star program have, but I think that being able to personalize playlists in this simple way should be something available to all users.&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;</description>
