I have been seeing a lot of people complaining that their Recently Played Artists list is either inaccurate or rarely updated. I am experiencing both of these problems. A function to reset the list would help, but at the very least Spotify could bring back the option to hide it from your profile. Thanks.

In the latest update (1.0.1.1060) the notification number next to my playlists is gone. I follow a lot of playlists and checked every time when a playlist was updated and which tracks were added (blue dot). Please let me discover new music this way again!

I think it would be great if spotify made it possible to remove songs and albums and playlists from the "played songs history". As Spotify gives you more and more advice on what to listen to based on what my account have listened to it would be nice to be able to remove all the "smurf hits" and silly christmas songs that your relatives has played with your account. It would also give me the pleasure of getting a "what you've listened to this year"-list that actually shows me what I've listened to. Thanks / Magnus

It's flattering to have quite a few followers for one of my playlists but it's largely fustrating in that there's no way to interact with them. No way for me to find out what might they want to listen to. No way to connect or know who they are. It's really nothing more than a number at this point. What's Spotify's plans to improve this? It's been about two years since they removed features like sorting playlists by number of followers, which indicates to me that Spotify has possibly lost interest in improving community sharing features. So, what's the deal? Thanks.

It would be great if scrobbling wouldn't be limited just on last.fm. I would love provide my own scrobbling service - not just last.fm. Or at least provide such a mechanism through the spotify API.

I am missing a lot of new music that i want to know about. Instead of subscribing to/following hundreds of artists individually, is it possible to "subscrive to/follow ALL artists". My music collection has built up over a long period of time, and it's going to take ages to go back thru and individually follow them all.

Hi, Would be nice to have Spotify integrated with Endomondo activity tracker in the same way as it is done for RunKeeper http://blog.runkeeper.com/3092/weve-got-the-musicfitness-experience-youve-been-begging-us-for/#prclt-i4q1ozbc Of course, it most probably up to Endomomdo to fix that so I'm going to post this idea into their idea box as well BR, Andrey

Hello Everyone. Can you allow non Facebook Users to add a Profile Picture by adding Gravatar Integration? This would be the easiest solution. Thanks, jp

There is a bug when playing from a playlist. If I click play on an item in the playlist the currently playing song is hightlighted. But if I click "Play" on the actual playlist it does not hightlight the song when I go in to the playlist to see.

As simple as that... implement Emoji for spotify messages when sending a song within the app! 👍 😉

Hi, Not a new idea, but it would be great if you could return the old link labels when you share albums, playlists, songs etc via Whatsapp. Specifically now when you go Share > Post to... > more > then Whatsapp, it just posts the Spotify URL, with no album or song title. Even if you fill any information into the "Post to.." dialogue box, this is not copied into the Whatsapp message. This worked fine in a previous releases, but is now broken. Many thanks,

The tab for Recently Played Artists has gone missing from my profile as well as from those of my followers/following? It now only has Overview and Public Playlists. Spotify have you removed the Recently Played Artists function? That would be a SHAME, as it's a great way to explore and find new music to like...?! If someone doesn't want to share that information they have the option to turn it off. To remove it all together is unnecessary.

AmanduhCrush · ‎2015-03-10

With the new update, I can't "ctrl + F" and find my songs anymore. Like if I know that Float On by Modest Mouse is in my saved Songs and I want to find it...I can't anymore 😞 Now, I have to search in the search bar, and it takes me to THEIR playlist instead of mine. PLEASE HELP!!!! Much love Spotify! - Amanda

I feel like a lot of improvements can be made when it comes to determining "Related Artists," especially in regard to unknown artists. To me, the fact that you need to be in similar shared playlists as other artists sounds like applying for a job that requires x amount of experience (How can I get the experience, if I can't get a job?). That algorithim would work better for artists that already have a fanbase, and ignores undiscovered artists (leaving us no choice but to turn to other apps/websites to promote ourselves). My suggestion is that the algorithim should be modified to include the artist's genre and geographic location to determine "Related Artists" in order to bring together a community of undiscovered artists who both share the same style of music, and can physically meet (tour together, build a working relationship). It might sound like a difficult task at first (retroactively putting genre and location markers on the many Spotify Artists), but I suggest that an easier method of making this possible would be to provide artists *who have linked their personal account with their artist account* with the freedom to provide that information themselves [Top 5 genres they listen to / Three genres they think best represent them / City]. All artists who provide this information could be separated into their own pool of artists, so that every "Related Artist" is... Accurate Geographically similar (All Chicago-based rappers, NYC, Irish Rock Groups, Etc.) Undiscovered talent Able to utilize all of the "social" aspects of Spotify, By connecting unknown artists from similar areas and genres together, you would be making Spotify a one-stop-shop for discoving, connecting, and promoting new talent across the world. If the idea takes off, independent and major record labels could categorize their artists similarly. But opening the idea to Artists first (with accounts linked to their personal Spotify accounts) would connect millions of subscribers, turning the massive numbers of artists on Spotify into a tight knit community, which would promote growth of artists and Spotify subscribers. I sincerely hope that somebody (with the power to make this happen) reads this and agrees that it would be a good idea. Thank you for considering (or just reading) my idea!

Currently when you share a playlist to Facebook/Twitter, it shows in your activity feed (and that of your followers) like below: The numbers shown, in this case "5" and "11" correspond to the number of followers the playlist has, although that is made in no way clear when you view the Activity feed. Since it is not possible to view all of the playlist followers anyway (clicking the number does nothing) I think it would make much more sense to display the date/time that the playlist was last updated. Something like: Thoughts? Peter

Spotify's staff needs to stop closing threads prematurely. Pointing to a declaration that Spotify is no longer supporting apps is not a resolution to our ideas or a solution to the problem. Discontinuing apps was a terrible decision that needs to be addressed and reversed. Close this thread once that's done. Until then, we, as users, should be able to voice our support for the revival of Apps. This is not an answer to my problem: https://developer.spotify.com/technologies/apps/ Nor is this a duplicate to any other thread.

One thing I would like to know more about is where my music comes from. My top5 list from 2014 included Sweden of course, because I'm a citizen there and also USA and England since most music comes from there. Places 4 and 5 were Germany and France, but I want to know where my other music comes from. Maybe I listen to much music from, let's say Belgium, but am totally unaware of it. More people who wants to know? I Emailed Spotify and they recommended me to post here to see what response I'd get.

Hi, I've been with spotify for the better part of this year, and so far I've been "lucky" enough to have features removed for testing purposes around 5 times. I've been lucky enough to have my friends feed removed twice! I think there are a ton of people who would be super excited to actually be in a testing group, as well as the many of us who don't at all want to be in these testing groups. By adding the ability to opt-in or opt-out of such testing, spotify will be able to get better results of their testing, instead of having to wade through hundreds of complaints on twitter or on the forums about it. Not only that, but help section contributors will be able to better help people instead of having to read and reply to threads of people who don't understand why they suddenly don't have their favorite features. Finally, the subscribers of spotify won't waste hours of their time trying to figure out why something isn't there anymore, and how to get it back, and the overall user experience will be a hundred times better because of this. Thanks for listening.

Hi all guys! It's been a while using Spotify and recently i go Premium, love the quality of the songs and the simple things of the app for android. But a long time ago, i purchased an app, Neutron Music Player, to be honest, far my best favorite Music Player, 64 bits rendering etc etc. Like me, i think many other users have purchased a Music Player and i think that a GREAT idea is the possibility to play your spotify music in your own Music Player, this because there are many details that Spotify Music Player don't have like: - A good equalizer - Sound amplification - A good "sound melt" option for Hi-Quality headsets. - Network support Many other things like that you can take from your own music player. I hope everybody can support this idea. KR Jero
