As a musician I like to be able to quickly rewind/fast forward songs by 5 or 10 seconds, like you can do in YouTube. I can see lots of other people have posted similar suggestions but none have received enough votes. Personally, I would find this feature very useful. I'm not suggesting making it global - i.e. it should only be available whilst the application has the focus.

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.

Can't wrap my head around why Spotify would remove the ability to add new radio stations on the Radio page (Windows and Android). What used to take two steps (from the logical starting point of the Radio page), now requires you to navigate to the Artist/Album, click on their info for the dropdown, and create a station. Sure, it's not that much more difficult to do, but just makes more sense to me to have the ability to add radio stations directly on the Radio page by searching for Artists/Albums/Songs. I miss my beautiful green button. Just my worthless $0.02.

Windows 8 Consumer Preview is going to be released in February 29th.
Will you at Spotify have your app ready for download until then do we have to wait until Windows 8 is released?

An option to make album covers bigger or fullscreen. I don't know if it's just me but when im listening to a whole album I like to be able to soak up album cover and really appreciate the small details which is impossible to do currently on spotify because the picture is too small but is totally possible on Youtube BUT Youtube doesn't provide a comparable listening experience. Thanks

Due to a recent change in the UX / UI, Spotify no longer allows users to right-click on Songs, Albums or Artists to create auto-generating Radio Stations. Moreover, the "Thumbs Up" function which would add the song(s) to a playlist called "Liked from Radio" has been removed. It used to be the case that when I right-clicked on any song, album or artist to "Go to Song Radio" or "Go to Artist Radio" a radio playlist would appear. This playlist would auto-update as you proceeded through it, listening to the songs, and would modify the upcoming songs based on whether you clicked "Thumbs Up" or "Thumbs Down". The songs on which you clicked "Thumbs Up" would also be added to an auto-generated Playlist called "Liked from Radio". This feature now no longer appears. I have looked up this issue on the Community forum and online in general but nothing comes up which seems to replace this function. The closest thing I have found when reading about people's similar issues is that it could / should have been replaced by a "Heart" / "Stop sign" button. However, neither of these appear on my auto-generated Radio stations either. One strange thing is that I have managed to locate certain pages / subsections of Spotify where both the thumbs up / down and the heart / stop sign do still appear, but there does not appear to be any consistency to when this occurs. I was told by a Spotify customer support agent in a chat that this is due to a recent intentional update to the UI / UX, but I cannot see any obvious gain / benefit presented by the change, whereas I can personally confirm that there are distinct disadvantages and a marked reduction in the use / function of the platform in general. Please bring back these functions to Song Radio and Artist Radio Stations. Being able to shape the auto-generating algorithm and add the songs to the "Liked from Radio" playlist is surely one of the most useful functions of Spotify and I am anxious to have it back.

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!

Hi I really liked the "Stranger Things" feauture, and now that I see that you easily have an overlay/screensaver I would really like to utilize this feature. I must say that you should also be able to tune the density of the overlay. So far I have have the following ideas: -Fireplace. -Space. -Landscapes on planets -NASA feed -Under water. -Relevant scenery for the song or artist. -Concert or slideshow of artist. -Music video. -Looking out window (with and without mullions) during different seasons and in different cities and landscapes. -Live webcam (streamers, earthcam.com etc.) -Factory, office, airport, city street -Photoalbum slideshow. -Rude Goldberg machine -Computergames gameplay/streams -Mirror -Different themes both videos and slideshow. r/Eyebleach , r/oddlysatisfying/, r/NatureIs**bleep**ingLit How I get to enjoy some of these ideas soon :)

No notifcation when someone follows you No notifcation when someone messages you No notifcation when someone plays your playlist No notifcation when someone plays the song you were were just playing (through the Friend Feed) Etc. Really too bad none of these cause a notifcation. The major reason many use Spotify is the social aspect.. and Spotify dropped the ball on this one. Spotify is the best music platform hands down, and it's really dissapointing they haven't pushed the social scene better (the side bar is genius.. we just need more!). TLDR: Having more notifications as well as more social tools (like a posted news feed) would really improve the platform.

(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!

Honestly I am a power user of the net, and it took me 15 min to find the button to SUBMIT this idea! My idea is to put the SUBMIT button where it can be easily found so i can submit ideas like this one to make using the Community easier!

I would really love a podcast feed that put the episodes from all of the podcasts I subscribe to in order. It could even be a drop down with options like, newest, oldest, rating, etc... Right now we just have a screen with dozens of podcasts with no way of knowing which shows have new episodes.

I am following quite a few podcasts, and there used to be a "podcasts" section of my library, it was usually the second last option, before "local files". I just noticed last week that it's no longer there, and I cannot find the podcasts I have saved unless I search them by name. What happened?

Why hasn't this feature been implemented? Seriously, it's not that hard to do, and would improve usability, in my opinion. Why require your users to go offline, wait, then back online to sync their accounts? If I make a change on my phone, it should appear on my desktop or other devices either by refreshing the list, or providing an auto-refresh after some time. Guessing the dev team is too lazy to do it, or y'all got some crappy PMs managing requirements for your releases.

I was recently talking to a Reddit user who's done a neat mock-up for how they think the Now Playing view should look on desktop's full screen mode. Currently, it's only displaying one icon, but this idea looks nicer. It's more like the view I've seen on TVs, when streaming to them via Connect, or logging in directly. Here's that rough image that was posted. Can we get enough Community support here to get it on Spotify's radar?

I'd like to hide some playlists from my Browse suggestions. The suggestions feature itself was awesome until it started showing me Finnish playlists, which I don't like. If I could hide them and any other playlists I don't like, the feature would once again be useful.

I think it would be great, if the recommmandations on the Home page would be optional. The section that contains Top Hits of the country etc. In my case, those are genres I don't listen to and I often just click somewhere else just so I don't have to see it.

I often play fullscreen games and when a good song comes on that I want to save I have to tab out of the game to save it, which can be frustrating at times. It would be great with the ability to save or favourite the current song with the click of a button instead.

We should be able to see how many times we have listened to our songs and have access to that information. I have a lot of songs saved that are not placed in a playlist and I want to be able to relisten to them and resurface them because it is hard to search through the full list of songs. On itunes there was the ability to categroize your songs from most played to least played and give the count of how many listens. I was just wondering if spotify does this somewhere as well. Thanks in advance!
