A feature I would like to have is being able to have a room where I and a couple friends can queue songs and listen to them simultaneously, in real time without any latency what so ever with our own devices.  Covid-19 being a barrier of social activity, group listening/party room/sessions could be a solution where people across countries can set up a rooms/sessions that other users can join publicly via a user friendly room list sorted filters like genre, location, artists, etc. or privately via invite link or code to share a listening experience with fans/friends/family on the opposite side of the planet. Rooms are controlled by a DJ who can allow permissions for certain users that join the party. Like song requests, skipping, queueing songs, kicking other users, etc. This could benefit Spotify and streamers as setting up a room could allow viewers to interact with the stream by requesting songs, vote skipping songs, as well as finding new music interests. This will bring new customers and clients to Spotify as viewers are inclined to interact more and switch to Spotify. Certain actions could require premium or twitch/amazon prime subscriptions which further incite viewers and customers. Room  should be customizable as to size but should be able to handle many many many users (150000 or higher if possible).  I believe this will further enhance the community and social aspect of Spotify as friends, family and people alike can share new experiences with each other despite of this pandemic. A feature of such can transform Spotify as it becomes more than just a music streaming service but a sanctuary where people can connect and share music from across the globe. ❤️   ... View more

Namibia’s pop-culture with regards to original music is growing faster than ever and in need of more development and attention — which is exactly what opening the industry to streaming services would do (currently we have no mainstream services). Some of our top artists have begun to garner international attention and it’s important to nurture this attention and channel it into musical growth which would allow Namibian musical artists to export their art. Similarly, we do have the growing digital infrastructure to accommodate streaming services, which would connect Namibia's streaming data to international artists and eventually solidify Spotify as the country's main streaming service across all operating systems/devices. Right now Spotify is only available in Namibia for a 30-day period, barring the country from the full Spotify premium package. Seeing as how Spotify does have head offices in South Africa and Namibia does share its borders with SA, would it not be possible to link the rest of the region and Launch Spotify Premium in Namibia - removing the 30-day limit which bars us?  ...

I know I’m not the first to say this, but I really hope you implement gapless playback in the chromecast version of Spotify . The ~1 second gap between songs makes things like Abbey Road, Dark Side of the Moon, Beach Boys’ Smile Sessions and various classical releases very unpleasant to listen to. It completely breaks the flow of the music. ... View more

So I love seeing the music videos clips I see on my phone. But seeing them on a bigger screen other than my phone would be amazing!! Because on pc or consoles it just shows the Album cover or the artist only. And for events more like big gatherings like parties it would be awesome to see clips on a big tv and would make the vibe of a place better and it would catch more people’s attention and lead them to seeing who is the song by because of the cool video or visual effects. So why not create a party mode where the clips can be casted on other devices other than phones so everyone can see them on a tv from a console to be of an example. ... View more

I've been using Spotify for many years and to open my phone up and see that the widget that I've been using is just all the sudden missing is extremely disappointing. I use this all day long and don't have the option of just opening up the notifications setting as I keep my phone locked for security purposes. This new update has also disabled the music from just starting to play when I get into my car. Spending an extra 15 minutes when getting in the car to go to work thinking my brand new phone isn't working is not my idea of a good update. Please reconsider as all other music options have this feature and it would be enough to change to another service IMO.  ... View more

We need to be able to configure the display name of devices in the "Devices" list in spotify.

Imagine never having to leave Spotify to share that mind-blowing new track you've just found on your Discover Weekly. You want to share it to your best mate, someone you look up to, someone you think is sound and you wanna let them into your life a little bit more, someone you hardly know, someone you've just met, the girl you like, your boyfriend, yourself.   Imagine yourself on your computer, phone, tablet, console, tv, social media profile, holidays, honeymoon, lad's night out, own holding your child the night you got home from the hospital. All you want to do is share the moment.   Imagine a moment. You're only in it to listen to that one song. Then it makes you think of someone. You get this urge to send it to them just to say, 'Sup?'. Maybe you miss them. Even if you're sat right next to them.   Imagine if all you had to do was swipe it to them...on Spotify...sound good.   Thanks, David Jones LinkedIn    Listening to myWrapped 2020-most played song  🤔  when I wrote this: Sunshine (Adagio in D Minor) by John Murphy  👍 ...

I'm here on behalf of all who feel betrayed by Spotify (see https://community.spotify.com/t5/forums/v3_1/forumtopicpage/board-id/002/page/1/thread-id/33911). You REMOVED  the #SpotifyConnect support to my Pioneer speakers (and to those of A LOT of people out there)  without a proper explanation. Suddenly we have USELESS speakers in our homes, and it's not our fault. We're here to ask you to reconsider your actions. We will stop using Spotify (and we won't renew the Premium subscription) until this problem has been fixed.  ... View more

In this quarantine period, it would be great to have the possibility to make "Spotify parties" as you can do with the Netflix party. A moderator could control the music and share a link to his friends so they could listen to the music as if they were in the same room. This system added to a multiple facetime could be a way to make virtual parties ! (idea from France) ... View more

Social distancing has forced a lot of us to shift from hanging out together in person, to spending time together virtually (video calls, on the phone, etc)—but why should listening to music have to be a separate experience, too?  Virtual listening groups would be a great way to listen to the same songs and playlists simultaneously, with friends and family no matter where they are—just like you would normally do together in real life.  This is great for setting the mood for virtual parties and hangouts, virtual Dungeons and Dragons sessions, or just to talk about and share music instantly.  Spotify can build the bridge to bring people together with music, even when we can’t really be together.

As I write this from my apartment in Hong Kong, I feel very disappointed to see that still, in 2020, all Duo/Family plans can only work for people living under the same roof. In my view, music is such a powerful connector to bring people from all races and cultures across borders together. And yet, as France is going through another mandatory nationwide confinement for the next month, I wanted to get my grandmother under my account so she could listen to her favorite songs and I could create playlists for her (and other family members living in various parts of France), but for now I'm forced to buy two separate solo Premium accounts. People are "stuck" in multiple places around the world, even those who not long ago lived "under the same roof" as their relatives or friends. Have a "Global" plan, relevant to today's current crisis, would bring in far more revenue and possibilities. PLEASE MAKE THIS HAPPEN. ... View more

Hello, I am from Tanzania and a huge fan of your service. Currently Spotify has not been connected yet here and it has been a major problem since there is a huge demand for it to be here, to add the fact that we cannot get to listen to most Tanzanian music that are already in Spotify and are included in various playlist. I would like to post this request to consider launching Spotify in Tanzania so as we enjoy the service and good music   (Any Tanzanian reading this in or outside the country vote on this post as much as we can. We need more than 50 kudos a year so that we can enjoy the service comfortably. No more using VPNs!!) ... View more

This idea is marked as "not right now" bacuase it involves a  3rd party . Instead please support the similar idea Support USB Audio directly - bypassing the Android driver.    Background External USB headphone DAC/amps for Android phones are becoming a thing.  The release of the LG G5 and its "Hi-Fi Plus module" is an example that has been widely publicised.  What Hi-Fi has a Best DACs page that mainly lists portable audiophile kit - a few years ago the DACs in What Hi-Fi were all mains powered and large.  I would personally prefer to carry a phone and a DAC rather than a phone and a portable music player mostly because of Spotify.    USB Audio support in Android 5 (Lollypop) is imperfect - see this support thread.   AudioQuest, makers of the Dragonfly, have recommended the USB Audio Player PRO (UAPP) app.  The app uses its own USB Audio Driver to bypass the imperfect Android driver.  On my phone I get glitching and up-sampling in Spotify with the Dragonfly and the Android driver but there are no issues with UAPP.   Proposal Spotify developers could work with the makers of USB Audio Player PRO (UAPP) to support their USB Audio driver in Spotify.  I imagine that UAPP would need to be installed before Spotify would see the driver.  So I imagine UAPP's developers would help with the integration because it would lead to more sales of their app.   Advantages The UAPP developers are clearly experts at linking Android phones to USB audio devices. If there is a concern about protecting the IP in the music then working with the developer of the USB driver could be useful. e.g. to verify that the end point was a supported device. I expect Google will improve the Android drivers in the future but Spotify users, like me, are looking for audiophile sound quality now and on their current devices. Spotify's competitor Tidal is already supported by UAPP.   ... View more
