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

The newest update that changes the activity of your friends (2/27/15) is hard to tell the song that they are listening to, and only shows the current song. I much prefer being able to see the full song name, artist, and cover art. I also like seeing all the songs they are playing instead of just the current one.

Please note: This idea only applies to Spotify client version 0.8.8+ I will admit this is partly my idea, but it has also been pointed out many times on the "Horrible Update" summarized nicely by Premify here. In the new release, it is no longer possible to mark People as "Favourites" and have them pinned to the top of your Activity Feed. This was not only handy to see what your favourite people where listening to, but also made sharing tracks to those people much easier since you could just drag and drop! Old Design (image stolen from an another website, since I don't have access to the old client!): New Layout (you might recognise the people in this one!): My suggestion is simply this (forgetting about all of the other social features): Can we please have a "Favourites" section at the top of the activity feed for the reasons mentioned above!!?? Thanks Peter

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.

Now I can shuffle an artist/album/playlist, but I think it'd be neat if I could pick two or more artists/albums/playlists and shuffle them at the same time!

So when I started Spotify today, I noticed the new activity feed. I really like it and I think it's a nice improvement, but some other people seem to disagree with me. I wouldn't like it at all if the new activity feed disappeared, but I think it would be a nice option if people could choose between the two activity feeds. There should be an checkbox in Preferences that says 'Move back to the old activity feed', so people can choose theirselves which activity feed they want. Thanks.

I have heard negative comments about the recent update in the activity feed. I personally like the new way. It might make everyone happy if you keep the interface the same but have some button that you can hit that says something like "more recent activity" that goes into greater detail. If you want you can keep that button or tab open all the time, but I didn't really like having a ton of people's activity there all the time, and I'm sure they got sick of looking at all of mine! lol. Anybody think that would work?

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 did a search and seen that a few posts with this idea have been inactive so, I want to post another request for the same thing to keep the idea alive. But I want to take it a few steps further: SECTIONS THAT SHOULD REFRESH: 1. Right side playlist navigation. 2. Playlists themselves. 3. Inbox HOW TO CONTROL REFRESHING: 1. Under File or Edit menu items have an 'Refresh All' optio. 2. Have a button under 'Main' in the right navigation.

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.

I think we could really use some more ability as to customizing profile pages. Maybe the ability to showcase specific songs without compromising the ability to hide listening activity? If that was added, we could place specific songs that we like on our profiles, and still be able to keep our activity private. Maybe the ability to set our own profile pictures, for those of us who didn't connect with Facebook? That would be a very important feature that is currently lacking. Maybe the ability to set a biography? Feature links to social media accounts? Convert an account to an Artist Page? Set a custom color? Add a banner image? Post statuses? Have a Green/Online and Red/Offline mode so that you can tell who's online. Here's a big one: being able to find user profiles without knowing the spotify:user:code ? There are TONS of other things that could be added to improve the look and feel of personal profile pages. There are more than I can possibly think of or come up with. I would really like to see personal profile pages improved. Okay. I'm done ranting. Have a song to listen to! Please give kudos if you feel the same way about profiles!

Hello! So, since Spotify is coming to PS3 and PS4 (as Playstation Music), can we PLEASE have the ability to download our music to our system! That would be an AMAZING feature I think everyone would enjoy. Obviously it would be Premium feature! Once again, please make this a feature!

andrey9kin · ‎2015-01-30

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

Spotify could be even better if like in Last.fm I could see what my spotify friends are listening to - with most listened to bands up the top. Something like this would be amazing (even if it was just a feature in the Last.fm app): Discover is great but a lot of work needs to be with the activity and follow section.

EvanReese · ‎2015-02-13

Just like when you have Spotify generate a radio station based on a playlist, there should be an option for a collaborative Radio Station. You basically make a collaborative playlist, add a few songs, and then generative a playlist-based radio station out of it. Any user can follow and add to the collaborative playlist. Every time a user adds more songs to the playlist, it will update the radio station with that info and base the related artists on the whole of everything that has been added up to the last song add. Any user will be able to generate the exact same Radio Station in their "Your Stations" section.

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

I WANT ADDED FUNCTIONS TO THE LOCKED SCREEN MODE FOR IPHONES! I want buttons on the locked screen as follows: a " Delete button" a "Maybe-button" (and a playlist where the songs end up in) a button V-button for "my music". The playlist and the v-button already exist but one has to unlock the phone every single time you want to use it. It could be an optional function but it should be there in order to quickly save songs in two different playlists. At the moment it is not user friendly and it is frustrating. It takes the fun out of zapping throught other peoples playlist and finding new song.

I often just glance over my activity feed when I am doing work, and see my friends listening to a whole variety of tracks. I think it would be a great idea, if you could go directly from the Activity Feed, to the location your friend is listening from so you can see what else they are listening to, or listen to the same thing. Obviously, there is privacy concerns with this, so the "arrow" shown below should only be displayed when the person is listening to a public playlist or from an album/artist page (and they share their activity). It would be similar to the "Listen with" functionality when signed into Facebook, but would not be synchronized or require you to go to Facebook! I would suggest something like a small arrow (this is as small as I could make it in pain) in each entry in the activity feed which would take you to the playlist/page the track is being played from: ^ My beloved brother, accent in Juliet Turner – I Hope That I Don't Fall In Love With You does make me laugh every time! What do you guys thinks? Peter

Like everyone else, I think the newest update completely sucks;for all the reasons already listed. I'll add one more: I really liked being able to jump to the current track's location in the playlist, by clicking on the album picture...which disappeared with this latest (garbage) update. Since I'm here, I'll also say that I miss being able to sort by categories when doing a music search. And just in case it was at all unclear, the latest update SUCKED! Fix it!!!!!! (Please!)
