Hi, I have a collaborative playlist with a friend that we both like. However, we both want to share the playlist with other people BUT we don't want them to be able to edit it. The issue with a collaborative playlist ATM is that everyone has access. My suggestion therefore is: Please make it so when you make a playlist collaborative, you can choose for everyone to be able to edit (like now) OR choose specific users that you give the rights to edit the playlist. Spotify is an amazing program and I honestly cannot believe this has not yet been added.

EDIT: THANK YOU so much for removing Info Wars from your platform! I'm glad you listened and I will renew my subscription! -its not a free speech issue, he still has his website -real the constitution before you bring up the First Amendment -patrons of Spotify expecting their content creators to follow their code of conduct (ie NOT threaten to kill people!) Is totally reasonable. Please consider banning Alex Jones' Info Wars podcast. His hatefilled and inaccurate "reporting" should not be given a platform anywhere, especially not on Spotify. I can not in good conscious continue to pay for a paid subscription for a service that also provides a hateful man a platform to spread more hate and fear.

Music is meant to be shared. However, one often receives a song or album suggestion at a time when they are unable to give it the listen it deserves. I propose Spotify creates a “Shared With Me” playlist that automatically detects any song that has been shared with you much like how Google Drive functions. Songs can be shared within the app and you’ll receive a notification that a new tune has been added to this playlist and serve as a queue created by fellow music enthusiasts. Please vote for this much needed Spotify feature to support more music getting more listens.

Spotify is a fantastic service and it's by far my favourite app. As a listener I love the simplicity of the interface, the various playlists and genres that allow me to discover music that I would never in a million years find on my own, the vast catalogue of artists, and just the ease with which it allows me to have access to almost any music I desire. But Spotify could be so much more. Spotify could enable fans to connect with artists in ways that have never been available to them before. Spotify could be a service that allows artists, no matter how big or small, to grow and flourish. And Spotify could be the first streaming service to corner the live streaming music market. I have a proposal that I think solves a number of problems that there currently are with the service and just improves the service in general. Problems -It is widely believed that artists do not receive sufficient revenue relative to a)the number of people who listen to their music and b)Spotify and the big labels/distributors etc that facilitate the disseminating of their work -Besides buying merch, listeners currently have no means to financially support an artist directly through the Spotify service either as a donation or a small tip for them enjoying the music. -Spotify currently has no presence when it comes to live gigs. Solution I believe a system somewhat similar to Twitch's 'bits' could solve all of these problems and allow Spotify, artists, and listeners to grow and come together. Attached is a proposal of how I envision it could work (I've also included an imgur link as the attachment isn't large enough in my preview)(apologies for the photoshopping skills). I welcome any comments on improvements or just feedback in general. I truly believe implementing this or something very similar is a win win for all involved and could potentially revolutionise music for developing artists and listeners. It's called 'Beats'.

Currently, Spotify generously offers student discount for 4 years. However, it takes more than 4 years for PhD students (like me) to finish their studies. Can Spotify extend the student discount to more than 4 years? Ideally as long as someone is a student.

It would be awesome if you could change the theme of the app! The black background is nice for night time since its easy on the eyes, but since everything is customizable nowadays i think it would be cool if the user was able to change it to any color they wanted or even just between a black or a white background theme.

The ability to add one song too multiple Playlist categories at one time. Solution: After you select "Add song to playlist", Hold one Category in your playlist for more then one second and it will then be selected. Then after you can select any other Category in your playlist that you will like that song added to. You can select and unselect categories by just clicking on them. To exit you select Accept or Cancel

We've all heard it. The harsh hiss and loss of depth that comes from compressed audio formats. I have been a memeber of spotify for a couple years now and I know that this has been brought up a few times with Spotify's service. Spotify knows that lossless audio is not as important for the average listener and that it does not pose as an important aspect to the listening experience. However, people that want the upmost quality in their music would geatly appreciate an option for lossles audio without needing to spend hundreds of dollars for hi-fi equipment and media to accomplish the same affect that FLAC files can accomplish. I think this would be a great addition to Spotify's platform because there are no mainstream services (that I know of) that offer this kind of format for their subscribers. I think that this may be an untapped market that Spotify may be able to use in order to get one step ahead of their competititors in terms of quality and at the same time please the audiophiles that subscibe to their service.

This was the best feature of WinAmp and no other player/streamer did it again!!! With this feature I could put, let's say three, playlists in a row and switched to random playing --> music experience astonishing everybody!!! Helsa!!! Peter from Switzerland

Dear Spotify staff, Many fans including myself feel disappointed by boy group BTS' name being brought up in K-pop girl group BlackPink's spotify profile. I am sure the writer of BlackPink's spotify profile description meant no harm, but mentioning one artist's name in another's profile description is something we found quite out of context and disrespectful. -BTS and BlackPink are both talented groups in their own authentic ways and associating them with eachother for a fact as trivial as the one that they're in the same music industry isn't fair because they're completely different and hard working artists who deserve to be loved for themselves, their concepts and their own music, not because they 'resemble' eachother . By associating them, that is likely to damage the artists' sense of authenticity and ruin it especially for the people who don't know them yet. -This could and has led to new listeners concluding that 'BlackPink is the girl version of BTS' which is undeniably wrong and unfair on both groups. They are both unique and should be known as such. -BlackPink is consisted of 4 artists who we respect. I will repeat it : we BTS fans completely respect BlackPink and every hard working artist who is under YG Entertainment. But, their company YG Entertainment has been known for not being very kind to BTS back when they were underground artists. So I hope you understand that that's the biggest reason why we do not want YG to be given the chance of using BTS for their own promotion. As one of the biggest music platforms in the world, I am sure you do not only want your listeners to be satisfied but also your artists to shine under the best light possible. Please take both groups' authenticity and hard work into consideration because saying that they sound that much alike is not the right way to do it. All we ask is for you to simply remove those 3 letters from BlackPink's Spotify profile description. Thank you for reading.

The Inbox/Messaging feature did not get a real shot at even being a feature because Spotify took away notifications for new messages. Give Inbox/Messaging some development so users can continue to privately share songs.

The current maximum duration for student discount on Spotify is 4 years total. Unfortunately this does not fully cater for part time students, who can spend a minimum of 6 years completing their degree. It also does not cater for those studying Masters or PhDs. It would be great to be able to increase this duration by the number of years the student is actually studying, not just the 4 years currently allowed.

There should be an "Incognito mode" available so not to mess the recommendation system when we hear one guilty pleasure song or something that a friend suggested and we ended up not liking.

How about ordering playlists alphabetically? I'm paying for this service and this feature is the most common and easiest one even for a free music player...

When you add new songs you dont want to scroll to the bottom to click on it. Its possible to sort songs by "recently added" but then you cant change the order of some songs to the place you want. So my suggestion is to have an option in settings, so you could choose if you want new song to be added in the top or the bottom of playlists

Blesswisdom

PLEASE include a remove from playlist option under the current song option bar. It is extremely time consuming going through the entire playlist to try and find the song that is Now Playing! Another idea would be a shortcut like WMP or iTunes where you right click the current song and select the show in playlist option. This feature would make the Spotify platform so much more enjoyable/usable.

High School students deserve to have premium even more than College Students in my opinion because we A) are either too young to work, can't find a job, or don't have time due to school, and B) are also students too. Especially for kids whose parents don't want to spend the money. If the kid needs to pay for it their self, $9.99 is A LOT to ask for a kid to pay the money. You're just losing money anyway because then people will just look to other, cheaper, services for music. Thank you. <3

We all know how helpful Shazam is in any situation, now think how easy would it be to have the convenience of Shazam built in to the Spotify app??! Hear a lit song at a party but can't recall the name? Open Spotify, let the app listen in, then the results come up in your Spotify app to easily save the song to your playlist in an instant. It's the best of both worlds 👌👌

Would be cool to see Spotify generate radios/playlists filled with music from artists/groups that are playing concerts nearby. Concerts are fun but sometimes you might not know some of the great local bands out there or know the gigs going on nearby on a weekend. Would be a really neat browse function! Nice to have but not necessary - being able to search for "concert radios" based on city, genre, date range Consumer benefits: Exposure to new music Supporting local musicians/groups Increased community engagement Business case: Potential partnerships w/ venues or ticket distributors Direct to consumer ticket sales (long shot) Forcing mechanism for Spotify to expand "indie" selections, even if radios are only generated from offerings in larger markets Would love to hear reactions and opinions!
