The February 6th 2019 update has completely wrecked this app for me. Used to when I wanted to listen to my saved music all I had to do was hop on over to the music library, go to the artist tab, and boom anything I had saved and wanted to listen to was right there at my fingertips. Close to 1700 songs by various artists. However, Spotify thought it would be more convenient for the artist tab to take you to the artists page, which is completely inconvenient. The past few weeks has been very frustrating dealing with this, as I spend 3/4 of my day listening to music. Just want to know if they are planning on fixing this or not because it makes me seriously consider giving my money to a different music app.

I've noticed that when I'm playing a song with an artist video I no longer have the "view queue" button at the top right which is usually there when playing a normal song. Additionally, when I'm playing a song with artist video from my discover or release radar weekly playlists, I don't have access to the "heart" or "dislike" buttons usually shown to the left and right of the skip/play buttons. This is frustrating because I can't say I don't like a song or artist when there's an artist video, and then that artist keeps showing up on my playlist week after week. I'd like to just have the same buttons I have for any other song when listening to a song with artist video. For reference, I use Android (Galaxy s8) and have the latest OS and latest Spotify version installed. PS It would be great if we could DISABLE artist videos. They're distracting when driving, they use more data, and they don't add much to my listening experience. I know many others feel the same.

For me it seems like every time I update the app, some basic features are missing or not working as before. Thats why I want to collect all my major points in this post, so that maybe those features will come back in the future: - The menu bar at the bottom of the app no longer features the Radio function, from where you can easily access all your played radio stations, whether from a specific song, a playlist or whatever. Please bring it back! The current way is not as easy as it was before. - If you want to search for a song within any playlist, regardless if its your own or not, this is no longer possible the way we know. Currently we have to click on the three dots in the top right corner to open a new menu, select there "Search in Playlist" and after that, start typing in what we want to search. This is as bad as it can get! Please bring back the old search function where you just have to scroll at the top and select "Search"! - If Spotify developers/managers want to change/delete basic features of the app, which were there since the beginning of it, there should be an option to say: NO, I want the old system/feature back. For example create an option in the settings to switch between new feature/design and old one. - If you navigate to any playlist and search for an artist who has some songs in it, you should be able to play just the displayed songs. No matter if you use shuffle or not. Only the songs which are displayed with this search/filter should be played. At the moment this is not working because every time the whole playlist will be played.

Whatever Customer Relations worker happens to see this, yes, I know: https://community.spotify.com/t5/Live-Ideas/Android-Swipe-to-Queue-a-Track/idi-p/1189608 100 Million+ Play Store downloads. 4 years of waiting. An elementary feature native to the iOS experience since launch. This question gets asked all the time. And everytime it is redirected to the original post, marked "Not Right Now". I doubt this is an app-breaking feature. It is a QoL improvement that makes the app consistent across platforms. Does Spotify have some secret deal with Apple to give other OS users an inferior UX? I doubt that as well. I imagine more "pressing" features are being requested (like Behind the Lyrics, because that's very important) and this one has been tabled indefinitely because Spoitfy doesn't believe there is enough demand. I will keep making these posts until whatever developers in this company finally believe there is.

Hi guys,
I've been using the Android app for a bit. To be honest, the UI feels a bit dated and doesn't really fit the Holo design guidelines which you can find here. One example of a really nice redesign is attached to this post.
Thanks for considering this.
EDIT: Now that Lollipop has been released along with the Material Design Guidelines, I think it would be a good idea to update the UI to fit these guidelines. A nice redesign is now attached to this post.

I really want this feature to return, its a feature i used everyday as a music addict [If you want to search for a song within any playlist, regardless if its your own or not, this is no longer possible the way we know. Currently we have to click on the three dots in the top right corner to open a new menu, select there "Search in Playlist" and after that, start typing in what we want to search.

We used to be able to select "Go to Playlist Radio," directly from the playlist itself. Please add this feature back to android, it makes getting to your playlist's radio SO much easier and is the best way to discover new music!

I currently can't access podcasts from android auto. Considering you now have podcasts exclusive to Spotify, such as Crimetown I have looked at using spotify for my main podcast service. However until I can use it in my car (the place I mainly listen to podcasts) I won't be doing this. I can't even find them using the voice service. Please can you put them on the main menu with the rest of my stuff, I don't understand why they're hidden?

It would be nice if the podcasts menu item would be directly accessible from Android Auto. At the moment I have to start a podcast beforehand to connecting the phone. After connecting there seems no chance to start podcasts.

As the title says, wouldn't it be more beneficial for everybody if there was an option to enable/disable the lockscreen media album art? Those who like it would keep it enabled and those who don't, won't. I personally dislike the feature because I don't like seeing the album art every time I open my lock screen as I listen to music a lot. It'd be awesome if Spotify would implement such a feature. I'd rather see my set lockscreen wallpaper than the album art of the music I'm listening to.

The Playlist is a very special collection to base a Radio on, unlike Song, Artist or Album, since none of these represent a personal music choice the way a Playlist do. The Playlist Radio is therefore unique among Radios in Spotify, and it's removal from the Android app took away a combination of personalization, situation and variation that no other option provides. It has been there, and should be easy to bring back. I'm sure a lot of loyal users would be happy to get this back.

Spotify should change the navigation bar on devices with on-screen navigatio buttons. While some devices use a black bar, some devices don't, such as the Samsung Galaxy S8 after Samsung updated the system to get rid of a black bar. This means that by default, it's white, and as you can see, it stands out like a sore thumb. White navigation bar on the Samsung Galaxy S8 So, if Spotify changed it to match the action bar colour, title bar colour, or even just made it black, it would look much more pleasant to the eye.

I please make the "shuffle play" shuffle your whole playlist instead of picking out 100 from the top of the playlist. I have a playlist with more than 2000 tracks and every time i shuffle them from my android phone it will shuffle 100 out of the first 200 and queue them. So i'm basically listening to the same tracks over and over again.

Why are settings and connect to a device buried in sub menus for my library. Time for an app built for Android. An accessable at all times slide out app drawer for instance. Settings, Connect to Device, and possibly EQ for quick access, 1 tap away. My Radio, My Play Lists, My Albums, My Songs and My Downloads all on the side menu and a tap away, not all over the place as is the case now. Mobile users need to get to where they want to go fast and from anywhere in the app... The app drawer solves this issue. Also, what about slide gestures? In album view, gesture up to view the current play list or album cue. Long press the album art for context menu options, go to artist or album or artist radio. If Spotify wants to enter into the podcast arena, the app has to flow better. Have a look at the fluid navigation and design for Pocket Casts (beta). Really nice, modern and super easy to navigate. Seriously, so much could be done with the UI for Spotify and not the antiquated UI with sub menus and key features buried. Will it be done?... Naaah!, Spotify does what Spotify wants. Took 5 years to get organize playlists and block explicit songs from playing on mobile Android app. Not expecting an actual Android app to come out, will just continue to mimic Apple.

Spotify said when Touch Preview & other swipe gestures were announced back in January of 2015 that the features would "soon be rolled out across other platforms." We're sitting here over TWO years later, we still don't have the features and won't get them. This is absolutely unacceptable. These features vastly improved the Spotify experience on iOS. Android users deserve the same treatment. Spotify needs to stop treating us like second-class users and consistently prioritizing us below iOS ... Get this done!

Can we get support for Adaptive Icons introduced with Android 8.0? Currently Android app icons have varying shapes and this results in a really disorganized feel. Recently some device manufacturers (Samsung for example) attempted to solve cohesiveness issues of icons by just having a white backdrop with a custom shape and original app icon stamped into the middle, this approach completely ignores any input from developers and their opinion. Adaptive Icons however enables the app developer to have a lot more control over brand identity and design while maintaining a cohesive feeling. Developer can choose background and a foreground layer, it would be shaped by a mask layer provided by the launcher and that's it. Thanks for your time and here is an example from other developers https://adapticon.tooo.io

Please add shuffle playback when in offline mode. We want to play back our playlists on a run or while working out while in shuffle mode. The entire point of having the watch is to leave the phone behind. We need shuffle playback support. Thanks!

At the moment when you listen to a song it displays random lyrics followed by the 'Behind the lyrics' feature. I want the ability to disable the 'Behind the lyrics' feature so I get pure time-synced lyrics. Then, when I want it, I can reactivate the feature. Or even have the 'Behind the lyrics' feature as a separate button where I can select any part of the lyrics I want in a separate page and get other information.

Hi, I'm Oscar, from the Netherlands. And I'd like to introduce a new feature on Spotify for Android, which is actually not that new.
What do we need?
Many headphones/headsets have in-line buttons on them. On many phones and apps, these buttons can be used as a music-remote. Most headphones have 1 button, with multiple functions:
Press button once: pause/resume music
Press button twice: next track
Press button three times: previous track, or restart currently playing track.
SEE ATTACHMENT
This feature is already available on Spotify for Windows Phone and iPhone. Other music-apps on Android such as Deezer, Youtube and Android's default music player also support the feature.
What is the problem?
Spotify on Android does not support this (pretty basic, but handy) feature yet. :'(
How could it be solved?
If Deezer can do it, you can do it too. :) There must be some sort of code/API in Android for this feature, which I think only takes a few minutes to insert into the Spotify codex.
It would be very nice if Spotify could add the feature to their Android app.
What do you guys think about this feature? And, most importantly, do you want it too?
