What i want to suggest here it's pretty simple:   I found myself using and spend a lot of time with Spotify app on my desktop pc, in my case it's Mac mini but vailed for regular Windows pc. sometimes it's nice to follow up on new releases before Friday and listen to them.   What i want to see here? same button that already appears on the mobile app. (bell button)   Platforms: Desktop - Mac and Windows   PSB example from my Iphone app    ...

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. ... View more

This way if we come across a playlist or search results that are showing alot of songs, you can sort them by listen count so you can either listen to songs you have heard often that you know you already like, or conversely, you can listen to songs you have never heard and gradually make your way back to songs that you have heard more often. I have included my mockup from photoshop what this could look like if implemented as i see it. ... View more

Hello everyone!    Ever wondered why everyone is still stuck on same old Shuffle? Whether is shuffling non heard songs properly or is just completely Random, it's still always the same. How about improving this tech a little bit?   This idea was already posted once through this link: https://community.spotify.com/t5/Closed-Ideas/Music-Supreme-Shuffle-among-artists-albums-etc/idc-p/4515541#M148355 However, it didn't get enough kudos per year, but I'm ready to try again and be more engaging with the community that share same expectations from Spotify.   Shuffle+ is all about listening all your favorite songs in the most diverse order you never thought would be possible. "How?" you may ask. Simple. Instead of being a random shuffle, or true shuffle, Shuffle+ would works as a filter check where you can choose what to Shuffle or not.   Example 1: Imagine my standard Favorite playlist from Spotify is already ordered by Album. So every time you play it, it will always play the same songs in the very same order. From album to album, alphabetically. However, I'm feeling like listening to them on a different order, but still want to enjoy whole albums or artists separately instead of shuffling through musical genres. So, you would do this:   [  ] Artist [x] Album [  ] Track [  ] Genre                 Then hit play!   What would this do? Spotify would only Shuffle+ among albums until that artist's albums in your favorite playlist are over, then, it would play tracks in order from the next artist's albums with similar genre, because only album was checked . For this to work they would need to add a new Column on library just for Genres. If not, we would only be able to shuffle among artist, album and tracks, though, with random genres.   Example 2:  [x] Artist [  ] Album [x] Track [  ] Genre    This would make Spotify play a artist's whole tracks in shuffle mode, independent of albums, meaning albums order would be random, but all his songs would be played, no matter what. Then, would go to the next Artist and repeat it to that artist, and so on.   Example 3: [  ] Artist [x] Album [  ] Track [x] Genre    This one would make Spotify Shuffle among Albums and Genres, don't minding Artist or Track order. Once one Album from one Genre finished, it would play the next Album in the next Genre. If Genre is not implemented by Spotify, then it would be like example 1.   Example 4: [x] Artist [x] Album [x] Track [x] Genre   This would work just like usual Shuffle.   Example 5: [x] Artist [x] Album [  ] Track [  ] Genre   This would play one artist album in proper tracks order, then Shuffle to another artist's album and repeat.   REMINDER: Always remember that whenever Shuffle+ is active, only what is selected will shuffle. Unselected items should play in proper order.   Now... How would that look like?    Just like the 'Loop' option alternates among 'Loop All', 'Loop One', and 'Loop Off', the 'Shuffle' button could alternate the same among 'Shuffle', 'Shuffle+', and 'Shuffle Off'. The concept of the "check boxes" to select what would be included in shuffle could be done by touch/holding 'Shuffle' on media player button to open up the 'Shuffle+' menu, where the main/first option would be 'On/Off', then the second would have the "tags/checkboxes" to pick what you want to shuffle. Doing so would save that as you preset for Shuffle+, always using it whenever you're cycling among Shuffle option. This means if the user wants to change how his Shuffle+ shuffles through content, he would have to open that menu.   Hope you all get the idea. If you don't, please say in the comments and I will try to make it clearer.   PS: Not intended for Liked playlist only or Freemium users. Since this is a really complex shuffle method, would only apply to Premium and would apply to all available platforms if possible.   Please! Comment bellow what are your thoughts, what could be improved, if you liked it or not. I will update the idea as we get more opinions about it so we can improve it together. HELP SHARING THE WORD! =D   -----CHANGELOG-----   *Update 08/23/2021 - Fixed example 3 as I got confused with the explanation. Before even though Genre was checked, it was not being shuffled in the example as it should be with anything that is checked on Shuffle+ filter - Added examples 4 and 5 - Fixed a few sintax errors   *Update 07/18/2021 -Added a little capped observation that maybe wasn't so clear -Added changelog section to the bottom with all updates/edits so far   *Update 06/14/2021  -Added 1 extra example with album and genre- -Added how it it would look and deepened on simplified toggle on/off- -Mixed both PSs together- ...

In the most recent update the option to make playlists public or private was arbitrarily renamed to "Add/Remove from Profile" rather than the original "Make public/secret". The new wording is far more confusing and has led to multiple support tickets being filed because users thought the "add/remove from profile" was going to affect OUR view of the playlist rather than the ability for the PUBLIC to view it. The new wording is far too vaguely worded for it's function.    If more clarity is still desired I suggest the options should be worded "Make Playlist Public" and "Make Playlist Private" as this clearly and succinctly describes what each function does with very little opportunity for misunderstanding. ...

There are many keyboard shortcuts in the Spotify Desktop app, but not one to simply add the playing song to liked songs. The only way to do this is to use the mouse to click the very small heart icon. I have Spotify minimised most of the time or on a screen that's switched off, so the process of "liking" a song is long-winded and i frequently don't bother even though I would like to save the song.    A simple keyboard shortcut like Ctrl + or Ctrl L would be great!!! So I don't have to even look at the app.    I've found a couple of previous ideas to bring this in as a feature, together they reached much more than 100 votes.  Please take this into consideration!   Thank you   https://community.spotify.com/t5/Closed-Ideas/Desktop-Add-shortcuts-hotkeys-to-like-amp-dislike-songs/idi-p/4659618 https://community.spotify.com/t5/Closed-Ideas/Keyboard-shortcut-to-star-the-playing-song/idi-p/24551 https://community.spotify.com/t5/Closed-Ideas/Keyboard-Shortcut-to-Add-a-Song-to-Your-Music/idi-p/12... https://community.spotify.com/t5/Closed-Ideas/Desktop-Keyboard-Shortcut-to-Save-Song-to-Your-Music/i... https://community.spotify.com/t5/Closed-Ideas/Desktop-Radio-Global-keyboard-shotcuts-to-like-dislike... https://community.spotify.com/t5/Closed-Ideas/Desktop-Global-Hotkey-for-thumbs-up-and-down/idi-p/325... ...

I would like the option to permanently dislike a featured artist like on mobile that I can choose for "Don't play this artist" e.g for several weeks now various artists and gamechops have appeared in my release calendar. I have absolutely no interest in this band   But I dont have the option to remove the featured artist, which just means the following week a new artist pop ups with gamechops as featured and I have no way to prevent this. I have event tried blocking gamechops on android but makes no difference     ... View more

Hi Ive been having this problem since a few days, since the new web player UI was used in the updated desktop app. The font of the lyrics is too big, and to get proper lyrics i need to zoom out (ctrl+-), but the whole spotify ui shrinks and the playlists, songs and friend activity is barely readable. I would like to suggest a slider for the size of the font of lyrics, or a [+] or [-] sign to change the size. this is an example of the overly large lyrics. and this is when i've zoomed out, for the lyrics to be proper. Please look into this matter and make the necessary changes. Thank you 🙂 ... View more

With the new UI update the ability to paste songs at a certain point in a playlist seems to be missing.   I have some pretty long playlists that I use custom ordering with. Having the ability to paste songs I recently added to it at a certain point was really helpful. This allowed me to highlight a song near where I wanted the new songs to go and when  I pasted the cut songs would be pasted right below it. This saved a lot of time because I didn't need to drag songs from the bottom of the playlist after they were added through the playlist for minutes at a time.   This was a great feature and I hope something to replace it or the feature is reinstated. It appears that right now when I try to do this the songs are pasted at the end of the playlist. I have not found a new feature or workaround to this at the moment.   This idea implies the existence of the ability to cut rather than just copy songs in a playlist as well so I didn't feel the need to create a separate idea post for that feature. This also doesn't have to be exactly as I described it. A way to move songs to a certain point in a playlist in any way is just what I am looking for.   I know the UI is brand new so these are probably just the growing pains but I'd love to see this feature added at some point.   Thanks! ...

Hello all, The idea is really simple: Spotify can now be controlled with Siri for IOS, but not with Siri for MacOS. It would be very appreciated if the Spotify staff would look into this option and keep their customers up to date on the subject, as I believe this is a very much requested option. It's quite frustrating knowing that a Spotify function is available on a 200$ old iPhone but not on a  brand new 3000$ MacBook. If it's simply not possible to integrate Spotify in Siri for MacOS, then it is what it is, but at least find a way to keep in touch with the customers about what steps have been taken and will be taken.  Thanks in advance!

Lyrics on fullscreen would be great if you want to use it to have karaoke session with friends or use it as a background for your tv or second screen!!   The background for the fullscreen with lyrics can be the album/song art or the existing artist picture.   (optional) Ability to show lyrics for the full half-screen without the left-side toolbar.   Would also recommend to have option to enable/disable the lyrics in fullscreen for other community users preferences. ...

So I listen to Spotify while gaming right, and every time I come across a new song I like, I have to switch tabs in between the game in order to add the song to my playlist.

The Search bar was recently shifted to the scroll menu on the side (Windows Desktop Client), however, I cannot see why.   The Search bar is such an essential feature, which needs quick access at any time. With its new position, I have to click the scroll menu on the side first in order to scroll right to the top, just to click the extra Search option. When I for example create a new playlist and browse through the artists´ pages to find the fitting songs, I can not simply drag and drop the song without scrolling down the long list until i reach my playlist. Then I have to scroll all the way up again to enter a new artist into the Search bar. This just seems unnecessarily complicated and counterintuitive. It´s not that the space was filled with something more important anyway (not that there are much more important things than the essential Search feature)... it´s just a blank space now.   I would really appreciate it if you moved the Search bar back to its previous position at the top of the main section, no matter whether it was a band page, playlist or anything else. It could still unfold into its extra screen (like it does now) when clicking it but the position has to be easily accessible at any time. ... View more

Hello,   with the new update on desktop, friends who are active on Spotify are not indicated by the wiggling icon anymore but instead with a bright blue dot - very similiar to the dot that would usually notify you if there was a new update avalible.   It is very irritating to see something usually associated with a notification appear on the feed with no way to deactivate it, constantly drawing the attention of the viewer.   I enjoy seeing my friends activity and don't want to have to hide it completely, but this ux design change is not helpful.   Please remove the bright blue dot, thank you in advance ...

Remove radio personalization. I am completely and utterly sick of mediocre songs that I add to my playlists, purely for content purposes, showing up in all of my radios. I listen to radios to find music similar to the song, playlist, album or artist that I chose - *not* to listen to music I semi-like already. I would love it if there was an option to make it semi-personal or completely depersonalized. ... View more
