On PC/MAC I really want to be able to have my cursor in the artist's section of "Your Music" and hit a letter on the keyboard to scroll immediately to that part of the scroll instead of wheeling or dragging or sorting. This feature could be used in many other areas I am sure. Unless of course this already works and somehow I am doing it wrong. In which case, thanks! Neil

I am used to choose playlists as offline-playlists on my mobile device using the desktop vesion. By clicking on a mobile device (under "Devices") in the left menu the desktop version shows all my playlists. Now i can tick which playlist is supposed to be downloaded to the mobile device. I'm missing this feature for the new "Your music" section. After saving a song to "Your music" it's not instantly offline aviable on my mobile device. At first I have to search for the new song on my mobile device and then I can choose download. (Unless the artist or album is already marked as offline aviable.) My suggestion is to implement a management in the desktop version for choosing which artists and albums should be downloaded to connected mobile devices - or rather an extension of the existing menu in the desktop version. Maybe you implement one tab for playlists, another for artists and a third one for albums.

Previously, I would use a new playlist for every album that I wanted to listen to regularly. This meant that I could open Spotify and have them playing instantly with just a double click. I do like having a more organised system through the new 'Your Music' features. However, Your Music is slower to operate because I don't have everything I want available in the vertical scrollbar. I suggest having a button next to Artists or Albums which then expands (like a tree system) to show all of the artists or albums in Your Music in alphabetical order, allowing you to single or double click to view or start playing like you can with Playlists . I personally feel this would be preferable to a tree system in the main window, as previously suggested (but having both options wouldn't hurt).

Please enable a way to: - View artists you are following - View friends you are following Seperately. You differentiate between them with the " √ARTIST" like here: http://s7.postimg.org/skde91mnf/Spotify_Following.jpg Why not simply make that a button to view only artists? It's a shame such a great music application cannot simply allow one to view the Artists they are following...

Hello Spotify, I often want to know who plays which instruments on an album, and this seems like something that could probably be a simple addition for you, and also very interesting for your users. I often find myself wanting to know who the band members are, especially in the Jazz genre. I feel this type of information should be available whenever an album is played-- either right next to the album picture, or possibly while hovering over album art. Simple request-simple solution I think. Thanks Dan

Every time I start Spotify and browse into Albums or Artists, Spotify redownloads album art (and title/artist). What if Spotify could cache this from session to session, making the browsing and scrolling faster. And only changes had to be downloaded/redownloaded. I've search the forum for this without luck. If this still is a duplicate of another post, I am sorry.

It would be useful if the artist that you follow would be visible under 'Your music->Artists'. Now, in Your Music you can save individual songs o complete albums. In both cases, those artists that have recorded those songs appear under 'Artists' tab. You can 'Follow' Artists too, but those artist that you follow don't appear under 'Your Music->Artist' tab. And, if you go to 'Follow' tab you find altogether friends, artists, music magazines... A complete mess. I love a lot of different Artist, and I don't want to save just an album or individual song. This way, I can seek in my artist to choose what I would like to listen. Just a list of your favorite artists.

I think there should be a finer way to create a radio station you really like. You should be able to rate songs, artists, albums and genres on a finer scale, and then all the ratings would be considered for your personal radio station... The higher a song would be rated, the more often it would play, and broader ratings would carry over into the probability of songs playing, maybe skewed by the other recommendation factors now in place... So that the average assumed rating for otherwise unrated songs in an album, for instance would correspond to the rating of that album, but the individual songs still would play more or less often depending on how popular they generally are and all the other recommendation factors now in place. There used to be a radio service called Launchcast some years ago which offered that level of customization (they used a rating scale of 0 to 100 for each item), but sadly they stopped broadcasting some years ago.

Discover weekly was the best update since the domain, spotify.com, was purchased. Now break it up by artists and make another billi. RAWR!!

Hey, at some point, an artist will release a free song. The only problem with them is that they would not become available on Spotify, and you would have to download them. That would be ok for people who usually buy their songs to download or the physical release, because they have a local libary. However, many of us have our libary in Spotify, where they are not available. It's easy to say that you can use local files, and add them to your playlist. But then you would need to download the song for every device and then add it to Spotify, and others who follows your playlist have to do the same to listen to the music you want to share and listen to. It would be great if Spotify somehow could cooperate with artist or record companies to add free releases to the Spotify libary. Another solution would be to integrate Soundcloud in Spotify, where most free releases are available for download. But that idea is already turned down by Spotify for now.

On the iPad app or Desktop app, please make available a list-vew mode for Artists and Albums instead of just the Squared/Chunky pictures which can be so hard to browse. Just like the iTunes app offers those views options to users for browsing, Spotify should also incorporate that and allow its users to browse Artists and Albums in a list-like manner as well. It's easier to see what's on the page when you have lots of artists, and quicker to skim through all your songs by the Artists and Albums until you find the specific thing that you want. Please add that to the iPad and Desktop app.
