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.

* I would like the ability to custom organize my saved albums in any manner I choose, particularly ALPHA in conjunction with by GENRE. * Once organized, I also would like the ABILITY TO SELECT VIEW OPTION, i.e. not only as album icons the way it is now, but as a LIST as well, by way of an view icon the user can click that reveals a pulldown menu with either "as list" or "as icons," etc. When viewing as a LIST, it would be good to have, next to each artist name, a small horizontal arrow that can be clicked to point downward and reveal multiple saved albums by that artist in my collection, with the ability to reposition the order of saved albums by that artist. * I would like the interface for any of the above proposed abilities to allow for simple user repositioning by 'click and drag.' I'm an album guy and I grew up in the album era, so I really like to custom organize my collection. Now that we're in the streaming era, that applies to Spotify, too. With a digital interface, it should be even easier for the end user than in the physical era. As an aside, if I custom organize by artist, the alpha organization would go by last name of the artist if it's a solo artist, or the first initial of the artist name if it's a band name. I also like to custom organize the albums according to genre within the alpha organization. Basically, though, I want to be able to custom organize however I wish in the above manners. Thank you in advance for listening and hopefully considering these requests.

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.

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?

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 wish there was a "don't like" option for all songs played in Spotify, not just the ones in Spotify auto playlists. I'd like to be able to ban songs I hear when I'm listening to an album, an artist or artist radio, for instance.

Maclir · ‎2014-11-02

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.

I'm looking for a function to list alla the individual tracks for the podcasts I follow in one list, so the most recent published track is on top. (like Soundcloud)

bret_wieseler · ‎2018-10-26

Much like the Andriod app showing which podcasts have been updated recently, I would like the desktop app to do the same.

StefanGroen · ‎2018-09-09

Hi, First of all. I know this idea has been submitted before in this post, however this has been a while ago. Also lbdsgn added some sort of similair idea (in this post). Please make it possible to add more, different music formats to local Files. Now we're only able to add .mp3/.mp4/.m4p files to this folder. Personally I have a lot of mixtapes which are recorderd as a .wav format and would really like to see the possibility to add these songs to my local files folder too. Down here I have typed a list of common used music formats: - FLAC - AAC - ALAC - WAV - AIFF - APE - WMA -M4A Hope to hear from you soon Stefan

Currently, folder creation is limited to playlists. This makes the "Save to Your Music" functionality within Spotify unusable -- a major drag when the only alternative is to save albums as playlists, creating album v. playlist ambiguity within the navbar (see attached image.) Proposed solution -- as a Spotify user, I should be able to: create folders within the “Albums” tab of "Your Music." nest "Albums" folders within one another. drag-and-drop "Saved" album objects into the folders within "Albums" section of "Your Music." I wrote about this scope in more detail here.

Feature that allows us to link our Rockstar Social Club account with Spotify and create a list to play in GTA V's custom radio.

nguyenbr · ‎2015-03-09

This feature appears to be completely nuked in the latest desktop version (I'm on OSX). Typically, my usage pattern is to queue up a bunch of music and forget about it. When I double click a song, it will stuff the Play Queue with a bunch of stuff I don't want to listen to. Before, I had the option to swap out the Play Queue with songs from another playlist using the "Choose as current playlist" feature (so when the stuff I queue up is done playing, it will switch over to the playlist). I also use this feature to indicate that I don't want any songs to play after the things I've queued up (by choosing an empty playlist as the "current playlist"). Without this functionality, the Play Queue is stuck there. Yes, I can doubleclick a new song somewhere else, but that will interrupt the song that is currently playing. In general we need a better way to manage the music that autoplays after the queued songs.

JanitorofLunacy · ‎2015-04-06

This recent update is really ruining my playlists by linking completely different files on my computer to albums that I am trying to stream. For instance, Babymetal's Red Night album. If you look at the picture I attached, every single one of the songs on Black Night where the artist name of Babymetal is white instead of grey has been linked to Red Night, even though they are completely different versions of the songs. When I am trying to play a Red Night track, instead of playing the Red Night track, it just says it is and plays the linked Black Night track instead as if I can't notice a difference. So, essentially, despite the fact that I am paying the premium fee, nearly the entire Red Night album is unavailable to me because I have completely different local files being linked to it. This is completely asinine. There used to be an absolutely necessary feature in which you could rightclick on a song and select an option to unlink it from a local file. This needs to be brought back immediately.

I have a stream deck which I would like to use to trigger different spotify playlists. I found that I can get the play list to open when I use a spotify URI link but it doesn't automatically start. It would be nice to have it automatically play when I fire the command. I know some people like the idea of having playlists start automatically and others don't. It would also be nice to have something under the "advanced settings" menu to toggle between autoplay playlists. Hope you and the community agree.

anaraee · ‎2015-10-14

Rather than clicking "Add to Playlist" and choosing a new playlist time after time, allow the user to "check" a box next to the playlists they want to add a song to, so they can quickly add/remove from multiple playlists at once.

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 🙂

(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!

Hello, The Spotify Windows version 1.0.42.151.g19de0aa6 don't support automatic proxy detection when the network uses DHCP WPAD. The Spotify client should be able to read the proxy configuration when DHCP Option 252 is used in an corpoate network. Ref: https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc995090.aspx About Implementing WPAD https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc995261.aspx The Spotify client should download the wpad.dat file, where Spotify will get the url for where this file is located by reading the DHCP Option 252 (if exist) when the client is using DHCP. The WPAD.dat contains all ip adresses of the proxy servers and ports to be used and also the adresses that shall be excluded for proxy. Internet Explorer, Edge and Chrome browser do support DHCP WPAD so that the end user don't need to configure the proxy settings when moving between various nettvork. Reccomend to implement DNS WPAD also at the same time for corporate networks that uses DNS WPAD. Best Regards Horgster

Also see this discussion on the forum, about how the queueing system is confusing to people that like to listen to full albums at a time. The issue is that "Play album" does not work as expected. Allow me to copy-paste my conclusion about the current situation from that other topic: ✔ Spotify has a working "Add to queue" feature. Just click the ... and choose "Add to queue". That always works as expected, both on songs and on albums. However, Spotify has more than just that queue: ✔ Spotify has a working "Play song" feature, and will follow-up with related songs. Spotify likes to keep playing, so it will automatically create a "Next up" list based on the song you started playing, usually beginning with other songs in the same album, and then others by the same artist. But these are just suggestions; your manual queue will take precedence. ❌ Spotify does not have a working "Play album" feature. The confusing thing is of course that there is a Play icon on albums. But when you click it, that doesn't play the album, it just executes "Play song" on the first track of that album. See above for what happens then. Why is that an issue? Well, suppose you want to play Album A and then Album B. A rather intuitive way to try and get that done is this: Go to Album A and click "Play" Go to Album B and click "Add to queue" That doesn't work. In reality, it will play the first song of Album A, then Album B in its entirety, and then the remainder of Album A. This is not at all what anyone would expect if you execute the above two actions. Suggested fix: clicking "Play" on an album should: empty the queue fill the queue with the entire album start playing the queue (possibly do something with "Next up" if you like -- we don't mind that, as long as the album we wanted to play is guaranteed to play thanks to being in the queue)
