Wouldn't it be awesome to listen to music together? Some of us are lucky enough to be able to play Spotify over loudspeakers when in the office or when with friends. However, when your boss/colleagues/environment does not allow for this amazing part to your day, it would still be great to listen to music together. Using third party audio streaming tools is rather data-heavy and doesn't work as well as it should.   In comes Host mode. When using Spotify, one could start hosting a party, generating a shareable link that will allow clients to sync their music to what the host is playing. This would further improve the use of collaborative playlists, as it is great fun to build a playlist together with your friends or colleagues, and being able to enjoy it together and at the same time.   This method of synchronization would not require any audio streaming from the host, as data regarding what is being played and at what timestep in the song it is playing is all that is required to be shared between clients. Depending on how accurately this can be done, multiple devices could even be used as loudspeakers, increasing the overall volume of your party.   The audio-less synchronization would also easily combine with free Spotify accounts, as occasional ads could just be played with a higher priority than the party's music, resuming into the stream afterward.     Let me know what you think and please vote me up!   ...

I go by train alot and i always think: what is that person in front of me listening to? With this idea i can find out! With Spotify Together you can listen to other people's music at the same time as they do. By using a HotSpot you can put on, you can share your music with others as they can share their music with you. With this possibility you can see what music other people listen to and you can just check in to their experience. This is not only possible to do when you are in a train like me, but also when your buddy is on the other side of the planet. You can just check in and listen to the same song at the same time. It makes you feel like you are together, atleast a little bit.  This feature also contains a chat box where you can chat about the song and make recomendations about other songs. This feature can also start happenings like silent disco's in public spaces. People can just check in when they like to. This feature can be open for everybody to join, or there can be some lock so nobody bothers you and your buddy.           ... View more

(Apologies for the crosspost in Contribution, but I didn't see this subforum.)   I posted this before but it went inactive. This seems like a simple bug fix that people have been requesting for 2 3 years. (Lots of requests around the interwebs). This is only a problem in Spotify Premium. I'm assuming the ads were keeping Windows awake. I'm not sure which is more annoying, the ads or this bug.  Please fix! ... View more

As previously brought up here, t he Spotify app for mobile devices needs proxy settings like the desktop version or the ability to use the system proxy that is configured in the wireless connection. Personally, using my mobile device at work forces me to use my mobile data for podcasts and music streaming, which has recently racked up the monthly data cost of my plan. Having the ability to authenticate through a proxy to a network alleviates this pressure on my data plan (and yes, this is ok with my place of employment). ... View more

There should be an option to decide if we like to allow autoplay or not when connecting to bluethooth. So everyone can decide if he´d like.  In some cases the user will not notice that spotify plays music, especially when bluethooth in the car is connected and the normal radio is set.    Some popular apps already having this feature. ...

Hi! As a relatively fresh user of Spotify, I just wanted to push for the implementation of the ability to play local files via connect. I have 3 Philips SW750 multiroom speakers wich work OK when playing files from Spotify. But I got a bit annoyed when I found out that it is impossible to play my own local files on my own speakers in my own local network!!! I can understand that playing files outside of my local network (say, to your phone) isn't allowed. (eg. licensing issues), but why I shouldn't be able to play my own files placed on my own PCs harddrive to my own speaker in my own local network, that I can't understand!! I'm in no way a computerwiz, BUT Isn't it just a question about restricting the streaming of local files via connect, to the local network you're in? If outside your own network, it just won't be possible! (In the same way it's totally impossible today) Within your own network, it's OK! In that manner no legal boundries would be crossed (eg. not any I know of...)   I'm a bit puzzled that there are so few users actually missing this function! Maybe that is because i'm of an older generation that is used to collect LPs and CDs looong before this streaming business even had began! So I have a lot of music that simply isn't available anywhere with the main exception; on my own server!!! So Please Spotify, implement this so I can enjoy my relics in my own home through an, otherwise, excellent musical service!!!   And to all other users of Spotify! PLEASE Kudo this so we can get this excellent feature to become a reality!!!   Sincerely Kenneth Olofsson - Sweden ... View more

So far I've been using Triodes Spotify plugin for my Squeezeboxes but as Spotify Connect is the new kid on the block it would be really nice if Spotify could develop a Spotify Connect plugin for the Squeezebox Server / Logitech Media Server. I'd love to see my Squeezeboxes pop up in the Spotify GUI. Logitech has unfortunately abandoned the Squeezebox concept but the community is very much alive and I'm sure there are at least a few other Squeezebox users out there who would be delighted if this would come true. There's probably not much money in it for you, but you would definitely put smiles on some faces. ... View more

UPDATE: This problem is now sorta fixed, because the blue bar has been replaced by a less distracting blue tick on the Connect icon. Below a screenshot for how it looks.  This idea can now be marked as 'Fixed'.   ============================================================ When I fire up Spotify, the blue bar with "Connect to a device" from Spotify Connect always comes up, even when I click the X and restart. So the bug is: it is not being saved in settings/cookies/whatever that I clicked the X and that I dont want to see it again.   Here is a video I made where I reproduce the bug: you can see it from 0:29 - 1:03 <video unavailable> ...

When listening to playlists like daily mix or discover weekly via Chromecast, volume cannot be normalised. Some songs sound much louder than others even though the audio device's volume has not changed. Due to this, I never listen to playlists at home.

I like to host parties, and for the music, I have chromecast  and some good speakers  connected to the TV, and I use my phone to play a spotify playlist. Sometimes my guests want to queue a song or two, witch is fine. But if they try to do it from their own phone, they just skip all the other queued songs and start to play their own playlist. I don't want to pass my phone around to all the drunk people so they can queue up songs. I would like a party-mode, where my phone is the only one that can skip/pause songs, but other people can queue songs from their phones.   When you long-press on a song in spotify, a menu comes up. One of the options is "add to up next". When the phone is on a wifi with spotify on chromecast witch is on party-mode, it says "add to up next on phone" and "add to up next on [Chromecast name]" ...
