It would be nice to have an Global Hotkey so you can pause/play your music while browsing and not switching between screens. Or when you are gaming and you want another song but you don't want to alt tab and stay idle, a (customizable?)  Global Hotkey(i.g. ctrl+shift+right) would be such an great improvement in the usefulness of Spotify. ...

When I want to browse all albums for an artist on my mobile (iOS) device, it seems that, for artists with many albums, all the artwork and track information is downloaded, causing the screen to refresh until all content has been received.  This is a pretty wasteful use of bandwidth.  I would suggest that mobile devices have an option to only download "collapsed" sections representing the album by title (and an option to enable/disable thumbnails of the album cover too) so that data is delivered only if the section is chosen or expanded.  That way, if I find what I am looking for quickly, I haven't run up my mobile data. ...
