We need transparency on how and why streams are filtered and what metrics are used in such process, especially as many suspect that there could be error or manipulation on behalf of Spotify. It is our right as paying customers to know where our streams go. ... View more

Some songs deserve to be on multiple playlists.   Today, if you want to add a song to multiple playlists,  you have to right click on the song and move the cursor on "Add to Playlist", and select one playlist. Then repeat the process for each playlist.   I propose to add a "check box" next to the playlists so they can quickly add/remove from multiple playlists at once. Those checkboxes will also allow to quickly see on which playlists the song is already present.    This idea has already been proposed in the past by anaraee on ‎2015-10-14. Unfortunately, it didn't collect enough votes at that time. However, this is such a basic and helpful function, and it is so easy to implement that I don't understand why it's still not there. It's as if we had to vote for the "pause" button on a music player. Please, implement the damn thing already!  ... View more

I played one episode from a podcast where I have no more interest in, but for weeks it's stuck on my start screen under the good morning message. I really want it gone, I think this section should only be for things you listen to on the regular. Now my screen is filled with an unwanted podcast and really something I don't want others to see I listened to. I want it gone, after all I am paying for this service.  I think the feature on its own is fine (the goodmorning section), but enable users to delete podcasts/playlists they don't want shown there. It's very annoying and it disrupts my enjoyment of spotify.  ... View more

I have used a big screen for years now, right now a 4K 50" with Ambilight which is great for a party feeling when I want that. I use Spotify daily and I have tested several third party apps but I really don't like any of them. Especially since I have to tab back and forth to change songs, see what is playing or what time a certain part of a song is, add songs, delete songs, see what artist is playing, and much more.    I have been a faithful premium subscriber for about 10 years now and this is the one thing I really would like to ask for in return. The new desktop update looks amazing on a big screen and the last thing to complete it would really be a built in visualiser.  Please, please, PLEASE Spotify. Add this feature and make me and so many more fans happy. It would really change the experience for the better. ... View more

Since last mayor UI update, the home page now shows me as the first section "New Episodes" with the next episodes of some podcasts I follow (now used to).   Don't get me wrong, having podcasts is nice and all but i come here for the music, I find it really annoying that i have to scroll/click around to go to the thing that i want to and that I usually use (is don't even hear podcasts that often)   As an effort to remove this section I unfollowed all the podcasts, yet it still shows the episodes (old ones, the sames from the day I unfollowed I guess) ...

If I tell Spotify, do not play a certain artist, I don't want to hear or see songs they are featured on, either.   BTW, this Idea has been posted several times by others, which tells me I'm not alone in wanting to obliterate certain artists from my Spotify experience. But it keeps getting closed because of not enough votes. Can't the team take the aggregate of such repeated Idea postings as another form of votes? ... View more

This is not a new idea, but I haven't found any practical reply to it, so I think it needs to be repeated. I completely agree with  Rennestein  (screen capture below), we need to stop seeing suggestions for content we feel is offensive because it is annoying and abusive. Why can't it be possible to decide what we first see when we open Spotify on any device? (playlists, recently played, artists we're following, etc), and enjoy better our Spotify experience? Please Spotify, let us have the home screen as we'd like.    Let us hide what we do not want to be exposed to :)) Thank you! ... View more

Allow a search bar to search by a song's lyrics. This would mean that you could find songs you have stuck in your head, and not have to search them up to then come back to spotify to play them.    Require creators to submit lyrics when uploading songs, so they can be found.   Have a system to correct misspellings or words that sound like each other, so if you heard a song and misheard some of the lyrics, the song would still appear on a search. ...

It'd be great if we could remove podcasts from our recommendations. I can't stand podcasts and would rather make an eight-hour drive in absolute silence than listen to that kind of pablum. I feel this even more strongly now that Joe Rogan is being forced down my throat all the time; out of a genre I despise, this is the worst of the worst garbage. I would even pay extra to be able to filter out podcasts or genres. I'm not going to be that kind of person, ever, no matter how long you try or how pushy you get. Just ask Netflix how many of the terrible movies they shoehorn into every single category I've ever watched. So how about it, can we get an option to ditch the boring bits? ... View more

So Spotify for whatever reason decided to make the app as inconvenient as possible. The previous set up before this new update was so easy to navigate, find the artist, songs, radio stations, and podcasts whenever I hit the library icon. Now I have to search for and add all these artists basically all over again and frankly I'm pretty mad about it to the point where I want to cancel my subscription. Whats even more frustrating is trying to contact Spotify themselves so I can complain in hopes of actually getting something done about this is like a game and seemingly impossible to get a direct hold of. I'm sure I'm not the only one who feels this way. Can someone please help fix this? I just want the old spotify back. ... View more

I see a lot of threads of this exact thing being closed because they are "requesting a full roll-back." So let me make it abundantly obvious: I am not requesting a full roll-back. Simply an option to use the classic UI.   Plenty of people have already described their many issues with the new UI far more concisely and eloquently than I could hope to, but my biggest gripe is the lack of the recent searches feature. Right now I have installed an old version of spotify and jumped through hoops to enable the old UI, after a new update disabled that option altogether.   It is utterly baffling that in the face of all this negative feedback, there still isn't an option in the client to use the old UI. It would be very simple to implement, given how  ui.experience_override="classic"   works just fine in the prefs file. ... View more

I will never use the podcast features in Spotify and would like the ability to disable all mentions of Podcasts on my home screen.   In a perfect world, you'd let us remove every mention of Podcasts in the app, but since you're investing so much money in that area I'm sure that won't happen, but for the love of God, please let at least paying users turn off Podcast recommendations on the home screen / recommended for you area. ...

Please revert to the old user interface (pre-April 2021). The new one is completely unusable. At least bring back full song lists by album on artist pages. It is tedious to have to click through each album and go to another page to find a particular song and listen to it. What happened to "About" pages for artists? Please bring those back. Since the April 2021 update, I hate using this app and will likely cancel my Premium subscription if things don't change within a couple of months. I can't find anything anymore. I also HATE all the social media promotion in the app. I am here for the music and I don't feel the need to broadcast my listening behavior on all my social media profiles.  ... View more

This can be used to help curate playlist for friends/family in regular playlists and collaborative playlists as this could be used talk about why this song has been added or why a person likes a song  as well as make notes for your self about songs such as a time stamp for a notable moment within a song this can also be used in an educational context as teachers could add annotations to set pieces of music. ...

I pay for my subscription. Every month for years now. The main reason I am a paid-for subscriber with Spotify is so I don't have to hear ads. As I have shifted my podcast listening from other providers to Spotify to bypass ads, both from the platform as well as integrated into the content.   I expect not to hear ads on Spotify. I understand there are ads woven into the actual content of the podcast itself, but for as big of a company and the amount of leverage Spotify has, I expect to not hear ads so long as I am paying for the service.   I reached out to Spotify and got this lazy, generic answer from Joy in Spotify Customer Support: “if you're hearing ads on podcasts using this Premium account. It's possible that the podcaster integrated that ads to their podcast content”. Thanks for breaking your back on that response.   I KNOW what the ads I’m hearing are. And I understand they can’t ask podcasters to export two versions, one with integrated ads and one without. What I expect from Spotify is to either implement metadata that tags the beginning and ending of ad segments and bypass them for us, Premium subscribers, or require podcasters to give metadata timecodes that Spotify can identify to bypass them AUTOMATICALLY.   Just to be clear, even if these identifiers are put into the content, I don’t want to have to pull my phone out to hit any sort of “skip ads” button. This is literally the ONLY reason users have Premium. So get rid of the ads. It’s actually very simple. And let’s not get started on how archaic it is to continually hit the “15sec forward” button to bypass the ads, first over shooting, then undershooting the duration of the integrated ad, only to have to make peace with hearing the last ten seconds of the ad. At that point it’s not servicing either party in the transaction.   It’s 2020. You are a huge company with a lot of leverage and a huge developer budget. I honestly can’t believe I’m even having to write this suggestion.   tl:dr - Spotify, I am a Premium member. You made a promise to me that if I became a Premium member, I wouldn’t hear ads. I’m hearing ads on podcasts. Integrated or not, I don’t care. You have the technology and power to fix it. So fix it. And make it automatic. It’s 2020. ... View more
