It would be great if there was a feature to stream Movies and TV on Spotify to catch up with the oldies movies/tv and latest tv shows/movies VOD and a free and premium version for tv and movies on Spotify

It would be great if Spotify had a feature for reading textbooks and books since books are essential to every reader. Since spotify is also accepting non-music features as well. It would be great if there was a free verison and a premium one as well

It would be great if there was a Spotify for Television shows for free and premium since streaming is an on demand thing. Spotify should be split into categories such as court tv shows such as Judge Judy and Hot Bench etc., comedy, and cooking tv shows and anything else.. It would be great for Spotify to make a VOD service for tv for those who cannot afford cable and want a fast cord cutting fix.. for free and premium.

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.

As a new Spotify member, switching from Apple Music, I am not impressed with this app. 1) I love multiple genres and I wish they had a genre available chart, rather than global charts. I do not care what other people are listening to globally. 2) It would be nice to just be able to click the heart, to add to library rather than have to slide, and unliking things I wasn’t aware I already liked. Or more easily see that you’ve already liked a song 3) after you click on an artist it should show multiple songs, rather than top five and me have to frenzy to find the rest, or the song I am actually looking for. Also there should be an option to easily add songs from a playlist to your library. 4) the availability to easily like each song in an album, instead of having to like each on individually. 5) an option to view the Lyrics would be awesome.

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.

In response to this new update, I am giving Spotify until April 4th to fix or remove this previous update that took place on March 7th. This update has made the app unusable. The artist search option is completely removed, full albums no longer save, songs can only be searched by title and you can not even jump to the letter you want. This update was so ill advised that the person who gave it the final OK should be rempoved from that position in the company and reassgined to something as far away from app layout as possible. Further more, Spotify is only looking to fulfil its agenda, it does not care about the consumer. Look no further than how you get in contact with the company. There is no way to communicate over the phone, when you chat with them they all give you the same scripted answers making your issue seem like it doesnt matter, and does not look for any real significant way to improve. As you end the chat, their is a survey that asks how the chat went and if you were satisfied. It does not ask why you were or werent satisfied, it does not look to actually improve. By voting on this idea, this is letting the company know if the previous update is not removed by April 4th, we willbe leaving Spotify for another music platform. I am giving them until April 4th because accodring to spotify they review all ideas that get 100 votes on a monthly basis. Ideas to have the previous update removed have already reached more than 600 votes. Its time they give the people their music back the way they want it or we leave. While loosing all your music may be tough, it is not impossible to replace and it is certainly not worth the hassel and headache that spotify has now made it to be. Please direct anyone who hates this update to vote on this idea so we can let the company know we will be leaving if change does not take place.

This idea has been pitched several times. Similar to Amazon's affiliate program, I'm not sure why Spotify is lagging in creating one. Like many others, I share links on Snapchat all the time and would enroll in it ASAP. If Spotify could start by building a Snapchat UTM coded link, they could answer these Affiliate program questions with accuracy. If it's beneficial for the business and those like me trying to make extra money. Here's to upstarting the program in 2019!!! VOTE UP #TeamSideHustle #MusicLover #SocialMediaFan

For the most part I’ve thoroughly enjoyed my time with Spotify since joining up almost 2 years ago. I was impressed to learn of the Spotify Community where help was available with a couple of issues early on. Unfortunately, it all went badly downhill after hitting the 10K limit of songs that can be saved to the music library. I found the related thread has literally thousands of posts from people also experiencing the same problem, but the really frustrating part was the lack of feedback of any kind from Spotify staff. I checked other threads to find exactly the same thing – heartfelt complaints from dedicated music fans being met with a wall of silence. So, I would like to request more regular feedback from Spotify on the big issues – even if they aren’t going to be addressed in the immediate time-frame, some sort of comment that lets members know their concerns are being considered and if possible a timeframe for when a fix will be implemented. Its really frustrating to keep contributing to the threads when people think their voices aren’t being heard. A couple of examples: “Increase maximum Songs allowed in Your Music” Votes: 9778, Thread Length: 463 pages Idea Submitted April 2014, Last Update from Spotify: Sept 2017 – 1 year 7 months ago (marked as a Good Idea). “Bring back Lyrics” Votes: 11,982, Thread length: 100 pages Idea Submitted May 2016 Last Status Update from Spotify: May 2016 – 2 years 11 months ago (marked as Watch This Space). So please Spotify take this suggestion seriously. Just a quick read through any of the threads is enough to show you are losing a lot of premium members to other service providers. I myself would love to stay with Spotify but that's become increasingly unlikely. A little bit of interest shown from you guys would go a long way :)

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'.

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.

I suggest creating a Corporate account, the type of account as Family or student, but that is corporate. Where we can give employees or clients a Spotify acces as a Benefit, and is paid by the Company. You can include users at special prices, always the member is the company, who is The administrator of the account that allows also communication through this means with the group.

Since we pay more then the standard plan for our family plans why is there not a way for us to also get a free Google home mini. It is frankly showing poor planning and disrespect to those like myself paying a higher tier plan. I would like to be valued and have access to this just like any other regular spotify user. I am hoping this gets fixed since the Google homes are only available until May 2nd or until supplies last, which I dont believe will be that long considering all my friends are currently on a wait list already. Super frustrating situation!

IDEAS: To make premium users premium again, there needs to come something what makes a difference. Like how Spotify used to be, you can’t listen to Apple Music without subscription. 1. Let premium users be able to add downloaded songs, straight to the device. What should be possible, only an (bigger) update. Like (kinda) ‘spotydl’ inside the app or to make it easier voor developers an separate app with access to link the Spotify playlists. 2. Do something about the UI. Really: - Make the ‘options’ button more clear. - Make the actions menu fit in one page, without scrolling. This is actually already possible when the album cover won’t be showed. The scrolling makes it just irritating and Apple more easier. - If that’s not possible for some reasons, then make it at least ‘movable’. Search a song and just go to ‘view artist’ then you see the unlogical order of it. 3. Integrate an option to select multiple songs to batch add songs to your playlist instead of one by one. The ‘Discover music’ is so much better than Apple Music. Since free users are only able to shuffle that part, will make Premium users life more easier and paying for something. 4. Improve the playlist edit, delete and sorting options. The specifics of that are to be found by 10.000 other ideas from other people. I’m not giving a deadline, but if it won’t improve I will switch to Apple. Build new playlists with the smooth UI way and still shuffling my playlist, but only free. Thanks!

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.

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...

bblazerm

It would be similar to sorting by newest first, but the flaw with that method of sorting for me is that you cannot rearrange songs after they have been added. This is quite frustrating for many reasons, especially if i accidentally delete a song and want it be in the same place it used to be. If this song is relatively old, then I would have to delete 10+ songs, add the song I accidentally deleted, then re-add them in the same order. Very tedious, but also trivial; just something I'd like to be added. Thanks for taking the time to read my post!

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.

I added an Instagram filter to Spotify, and wow, it looks amazing. If this was refined and added natively to the app, I think it could really give Spotify an amazing visual style. It’d be great to browse a native app where we could choose the feel of the colour scheme. Filter Enabled Default
