There should be an Equalizer for the Desktop version of Spotify. Since Spotify's mobile apps now have an EQ setting, this should be implemented on the desktop version, too! The EQ should come with various presets but also the ability to save your own custom settings.

Hi Spotify Currently on the left side panel on Spotify desktop, the album is shown when the song is clicked. This should change to include showing the album when the artwork is clicked. Currently, clicking this doesn't do anything.

The desktop app for Spotify on Windows is extremely slow and doesn't offer many new features and details from the mobile app. It would be nice if the app was made Fully resizable, being able to adapt to diverse windows sizes and still present the most important info, like you see in many of Microsoft's apps and even third parties. Windows 10 has a slew of apps that open in seconds, and Spotify definetly isn't one of them, even having the random problem of not opening at all, making you reset the computer to open it. The desktop design is still the same even after three years, even though the mobile app, and even the web player have gone through a few design changes. Make it more fluid, less grid-like and square-ey, like it was done in the mobile app and web player, and also integrate features like Canvas and Genius Lyrics, that have been present on mobile for some time. Overall, it feels like the desktop app has been forgotten by the team, and I would like if a bit of cleaning up and optimizing was done to it.

In the latest update the notification area of new songs from artists you follow was removed. I want it back! At the moment there is no point to follow any artist because email or mobile push nofications don't work either. I want to see new songs from the artists I follow somehow.

Happy that Spotify has implemented Touchbar integration with the new line of Macbook Pros, but I'm a little shocked that nowhere on the Touchbar is the current song name shown. Using the feature from inside other apps brings up the pause/play/next/back functions with a very large scroll bar to scrobble through the song. I feel that fitting the song name + artist would be totally doable in this space. This feature would be especially useful within Radio or playlists such as charts/Discover Weekly. Something to consider - would be greatly appreciated!

Now that windows on arm devices are out in the wild I'd like to see a Spotify windows app compiled for ARM64. This would drastically increase battery life for these devices and Microsoft let's you port exisitng code to arm64 as well.
You could also take advantage of other features such as LTE connectivity and instant on for these devices.

What it is is a tool to compare playlists with no song limit together and do things like show the duplicates between the two, remove them on one of the playlists and more. This idea has been mentioned many times but never gained enough kudos (including my versions of the posts). I know those annoying dupes is a website but only for up to 200 songs. https://community.spotify.com/t5/Your-Library/Playlist-Comparisons-between-playlists/m-p/4901369#M3300

It baffles me that this option was taken away, but with the latest build of Spotify, which replaced the old inbox with the very unneeded message threads, there is no way to delete messages. I was told to submit this as an idea, but I'm shocked I even have to. Next thing, I'll be submitting an idea to allow me to shut Spotify down after I'm done using it. EDIT: I'd also like to add, as some of you have, that it's somewhat disturbing to find very old messages that I "deleted" two years ago now appearing in my Messages box again. Which means Spotify held on to those private messages, even though I hit that Delete button. Not good. EDIT #2: Hi, everyone. It's been A YEAR AND A HALF since I posted this, and as you can see, even after 19 pages of comments and almost 700 kudos, Spotify hasn't done anything about it besides call it a "good idea". Thanks, Spotify. Because of this issue, and because of Spotify's reluctance to listen to the community on an issue which I feel is way more important than the color of the background, I have barely touched Spotify in the past 6-7 months. There are other alternatives these days. While they may not be perfect, at least they seem to respect my privacy more than Spotify, which is extremely important to me. Keep the comments and kudos coming, friends. I appreciate all of you backing me on this. Hopefully, Spotify will fix this issue at some point in the next decade. Until then, I'll be enjoying other streaming services. EDIT #3: Whelp. Checked back three years after initially posting this to find that the folks at Spotify deemed this invasion of privacy unimportant, and gave it a "Not Right Now", even after 1,268 votes and 33 pages of comments.Much more important that they change the font of that one band's name. Spotify Peeps, being able to delete your private messages shouldn't be an "idea" or even a "suggestion". It should be common sense. But whatever. I've been very happy over at Apple Music. I urge everyone reading this to remain on the free Spotify plan, switch to the free plan, or stop using Spotify altogether. There really are other good options out there. Farewell, and keep the comments and votes coming, people!

I love seeing what my friends are listening to in the Friend Activity sidebar but hate that i can't interact by giving their current play a high five, a like, something. Nobody knows they've turned you on to something new, revived something old, etc. it's a bit of a vacuum. The ability to create an exchange would encourage a connection that's currently missing. man i just wanna high five my friends' excellent taste, yo, and let them know i appreciate them. 🙂

The Desktop app Podcasts page (both macOS and Windows) layout lists only podcasts series subscribed to. This is unlike the iOS app which lists podcast episodes by date episode was added (under the 'unplayed' section).
As a lot of the podcasts come out with episodes at a daily/weekly/monthly intervals and are consumed on an ad-hoc basis as they come out, a Podcasts page layout for Desktop apps which shows the episodes listed by data episode was added (reverse chronologically) is much needed.
This would make it 10x easier to find which of the many podcasts a user subscribes to has come out with a new episode, instead of clicking through each podcast and checking.
(see comparison of iOS podcasts page vs. Desktop podcasts page)

Hi, it is possible to put a dislike button everywhere on spotify and not only on daily mix playlists? (as in other apps like google music) Because the problem is some artists are presented even if you hate them and you can't dislike because the button doesn't exists. The button for exemple can be presented when we are looking for some musics directly on the album of an artist. It's like prevention in the face of music that we would not like to listen to later.

I'm missing this option to rate up or down certain podcasts. Weird but true: Checking meanwhile if my favorite podcast is uploaded on itunes and rating it there while listening to it on spotify. Unsure how long to stick with this procedure

It would be nice if all spotify premium users on the local network could use spotify connect to stream to a client (i.e pc connected to the speakers)
Now you can stream to the client only if you are logged in with the same account on the other devices. This is not that practical since there are usually more than one spotify user/account in the same household. Especially with the new spotify family being released.

Recently Spotify has decided to downgrade the desktop and Mac players into the webplayer. With the new "upgrade" it is impossible to see the friends that you are following, follow any non artist profiles, to change the playlist image, search for a song within a playlist, or sort playlist by filters such as: date added; song length; artist name; or album name. This has change has been done to a small number of regular and premium uses without any warning or explanation why. Most of these users have an up to date pc and the lattes version of the Spotify desktop player. Reinstalling the webplayer, restating the pc, changing internet connection, and logging out/in does not seem to fix the issue. Some people, myself included, noticed that it did briefly switch back to the desktop version before downgrading again to the webplayer. A topic has been started to ask for help in getting the old desktop player back but so far we have been told that it is most likely an A/B test by Spotify and to write an idea. https://community.spotify.com/t5/Desktop-Windows/Desktop-Lost-Features-no-friend-tab-etc/td-p/4913264 We are asking for the Spotify app to be reverted back to the old desktop player permanently. If this is likely to be a new "upgrade" that will come out then we are asking you to reconsider releasing it.

It's time for Spotify to add some new search filtering of it's music catalog. It would be great to search new & old music by album type: full or single. It can be quite annoying to start listening to some new music only to realize that you have selected a single of which plays over and over again. I believe that Spotify should A/B test this functionality to see if their customer base wishes to use search and use their database more efficiently. Again, all we are asking is for a better way to filter Albums from Singles. No doubt Spotify was built on risk taking, so what do they have to lose? Just test it and I'm sure the data will support it. ** Please note this Idea has a short shelf life. If it does not get enough Upvotes, Spotify will close the Idea. Please UPVOTE to make this change a reality

Maybe some of you remember the great times with the Windows Media Player visualisations or had a nice time with music Visualizers like "Milkdrop". If I want to go to a friends house and have a nice evening with the a visualizer on, I need to configure it on a really hard way sometimes, when we hear Spotify music. Back in the days there was a visualizer from Spotify, which was kinda hidden. It would be awesome, if we could get a feature like that back! 😄

Hi, I love making playlists and checking those from others. So I would love some new settings/features that could improve your playlist experience: - if this setting is turned on there is a different section in an other users playlist were you can suggest some songs for his/hers playlist. - a setting were you can put your playlist on private, public and public but only your followers can see the playlist. - another tab in your playlist were you can see the analytics/statistics of your playlist. For example: how many listeners, how many views, who is following your playlist, ... Thank you for your time and reading. What are your opinions on this idea?
