Dear Spotify,  Here is my idea. I live far from home and we all know technology's ability to reduce distances, Spotify could also be one of those social platforms that let you interact with your dearest, HOW? I call it music sharing, let's say I want to listen what my girlfriend/mom is listening to now, or I want to discover a new genre through the guide of my friend and not Spotify's playlists. In order to let this happen both accounts must be online and a request has to be accepted by the "DJ". The DJ can play music from any playlist or his library as he would normally do, the difference is that other people can also listen to his music. The DJ can also be an artist listening and promoting tunes at the same time, in that case, the streaming can be public.  We all know how hard is to keep in touch with family and friends when far from them, that's because everybody has his own life and daily tasks to take care of. However, MUSIC SHARING gives the possibility to be connected with your best friend when at the gym, cleaning the house or simply doing a task that doesn't involve an active hearing. People can feel closer, discover new music or even remember old times (you know yourself the power of memories).   Thanks for your time, hope we can make something out of this.   Claudio Stringa ...

I am a college student and attend many a party where everybody wants a share of the aux cord power. On the nights when I have been called upon to be on Music Duty I have found that it can be very stressful and put a strain on my night when everybody is coming up to me at each moment asking for a new song to be added to the que, checking in on their song to see if it's coming up soon, generally complaining about the music. I see this happen to every kid in charge of the aux at a party. Well, my buddies and I had an idea.    Imagine, you can add a new song to the party que directly from your own phone. There is a Party Group Code or something like that which will allow people to remotely submit a song to que, without having to locate the primary phone or hassle the person who it belongs to. It goes like this: I show up to the party, Spotify is set to party mode, everyone uses the Group Code to join the realtime party playlist, each person has the ability to que a song that they'd like directly from their own Spotify app.  In order to keep this process democratic, people will be able to view the existing que and Upvote songs that they would like to hear. The songs with the most upvotes will move to the top of the que, and the que will flow down through the next batch of songs that received fewer votes. Each person gets to add to the que, but everyone gets a say and a voice. The upvote will allow this. I think it would be best to leave Downvotes off, because that would allow the majority to drown out one song that may be special to someone. If the majority ques up many songs that get upvotes, the less popular song won't be played by the end of the party, but at least there's a chance. I think that to ensure equality of musical input at the party, there should probably be no skips, but that's something I will let y'all figure out.  I know I have talked to some friends about it and we all agreed that this feature would make things so much simpler and smoother for folks. I also know people who use other platforms such as Apple Music who said they would want to make the switch to be involved in the communal live-playlist curation process.    I know this idea is feasible if it is discussed and finely tuned, and I wholeheartedly think it could make a big difference in the way we do music in social settings. Please consider this, let's get the conversation started on finding the best solution to this issue, and keep me up to date with how things go because I would love to be as involved in this process as possible.    Thanks so much for your considerations!    -The Youth ...

On many occasions I have had my phone playing music on a long car ride or connected to a speaker with some friends and other people want to play songs. Instead of them having to use my phone or connect theirs, I think it would be beneficial if you could grant temporary access to one of your friends on spotify to control the music playing on your phone and also add to your queue (similar to if you were listening on the desktop player and controlling the music on your phone). This way everyone could put on music but only use a single source. ... View more

There should be an Equalizer for the Desktop version of Spotify. Since Spotify's mobile apps now have an EQ setting, this should be implemented on the desktop version, too! The EQ should come with various presets but also the ability to save your own custom settings. ... View more

I have over 5,000 songs on my starred list.  When I "shuffle" the playlist, it is only shuffling between the same 20 or 30 songs and only a few artists.  There's got to be a way around this, especially since I am a paying user.  I've noticed that people had posted about this a while back, but haven't seen any current topics so wanted to start one.  I am normally streaming directly from the Spotify app on my Android or Macbook to a speaker, or using the Spotify connect function with my Sonos One speakers.  Please help or fix this!!! ...

Hi there I would like to make a request of removing the I love my 90s hip hop playlist from spotify because there’s already an old school hip hop playlist called the Gold School by you guys. There’s only one 90s r&b playlist called I love my 90s r&b, one 90s rock playlist called 90s rock renaissance, but there is more than one 90s hip hop playlist created by Spotify. Like it has been literally bothering me and causing me alot of stress. Because there isnt any other more than one subgenre playlist So do you think you guys can get rid of the I love my 90s hip hop playlist since there is no I love my 00s hip hop playlist ... View more

This idea have been posted many times but never gets enough kudos, let's try again then.  If I'm listening to a new wave band from Uruguay, I would like to keep listening to new wave music (form any origin) once the album is over. I don't see the point of playing any Uruguayan artist just for being Uruguayan.   So basically remove the country of origin as a similarity criteria.   Thanks for reading! ... View more

Hi Spotify, We thought about a new cool feature for the spotify moblile app. Let's say you are sitting with a group of friends and you are all listening to music. Now your phone is the one connected to the speakers, and all the responsibility is on you. Not everyone can handle that kind of pressure of choosing good music. Here comes our brilliant idea - A communal playlist, for you and your friends. your friends would be able to suggest you the next song, and you can either accept it or reject their shity song.     Think about it :) ...

So on my Iphone 6s, I will tap my playlist, then a bubble will pop up saying "Couldn't open link. Spotify can't open this type of link on this device." I mean, a couple of hours ago it was fine, and Spotify hasn't uploaded. Anyone have a way to fix it? ... View more

Spotify needs to provide clean/radio versions for every song as a BASIC function.  This is not a bells & whistles function that should have to be requested nor voted on for it to happen.  The explicit versions are not only unsuitable for families, but many spotify users who are neither children nor elderly, don't enjoy hearing explicit lyrics, and prefer the clean/radio versions as these are what we all hear on the radio/tv. Clean/radio versions of all songs are a BASIC requirement and should be a default selection for all music platforms. ... View more

All the things I miss about the old Spotify mobile experience: • Paragraph about   the artist's story • See similar artists icon page • Follow an artist/other users buttons • See what other user's have recently listened to • View your followers or those you follow • The browse genre and radio stations • Avatar of my profile picture to click on and go to My Account profile   Also, I am sure the marketing department loved the idea of a whole tab being used to advertise the "Premium" service, however it does not benefit me as a user and the constant reminder doesn't make me want to buy the subscription any more than it did before. Maybe if I got special content, heard about music news first or got to listen to unreleased new songs first, now these would be reasons to get it rather than a permanent ad for it. ... View more

Everytime I drive a long distance and play a playlist, I always have songs from another playlist on my mind. With  Playlist Merge , you are able to choose two (maybe more) playlist that will play and can be shuffled through. In this case you are able to listen to those specific playlists while being safe on the road.  Playlist Merge would be an option in "your library" set up. Clicking on Playlist Merge, you can quickly choose at least two playlist from the ones you created, with a set up of "click to add" you are able to choose the first playlist, then the second. Listen to them, then choose which playlist you want to drop and add a new playlist in its place.  -Noah B. (bluflamefox) ... View more

It would be great if there was a "broadcast" feature, where you can share a link of what you are currently playing so others can listen along.   Similar to a radio, if you decide to skip the track or change the playlist, everyone hears the result. Could be used in an office, where a few co-workers want to listen to a new album together, or it could be used to tie two rooms together in compleltely different parts of the world.   Similar to this: http://getheartbeat.io/?ref=producthunt   ...
