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.

Build a draggable widget for the desktop & web application, please. Would be nice to change music without having to switch windows ( for those working on Their computers).

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?

The Spotify experience is wonderful when it allows me to enjoy music I know and love or explore new music. It fails miserably when it recommends playlists/artists/songs that I absolutely hate. One example of this fail is the home screen with groups of playlists like "All the latest hits". Three of the top four recommendations are for genres I strongly dislike. If I liked opera (I don't) I could be turned off by suggestions for thrash metal and rap. Give me the ability to block/hide/blacklist playlists or genres and I'll have a much better user experience. I love the ability to block an artist (finally!) but am grumbling daily about my inability to customize my home screen for my needs. Please consider and prioritize this feature request.

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!

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.

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 :)

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.

With the Spotify 🎵 app we used to hover over the tray icon, seeing song info and controls like previous/pause/play/next. This was an awesome feature! Please bring it back 👍 . Without bigging up the app, we could: see song details, click next song, previous song, pause, etc... I'm currently using a MacBook. I don't see an option in Settings to fix this. It must be an app thing... Spotify - please update the app to include these "hover" options. ✨ Thank you! *** Fellow users reading this post! *** Please upvote/like this post! Spotify requires 100 upvotes in a year to consider a suggestion. *** *** *** *** *** ***

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!

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

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'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 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 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.

It's hard to tell how flexible the algorythm for the Weekly Playlist is, but it would be nice if there was a little more control.
I think it would be more practical to do so by having a separate advanced options page for DW in the preferences, so the simplicity of the feature would be kept but those who want more control over it could have a way to do that.
The preferences page could let users set the number of songs per playlist, or genre or period preferences. There could be some option for known artists (i.e. "Do you want songs you never listened to from artists you already know and like?") and so on.
Also, this page could include a feedback list with all the songs of the present DW playlist, each with a checkbox "Like/Don't Like" to give a more granular feedback for future playlists.
This would make DW power users happy without affecting normal users' use of the feature, and it would keep the UI consistent.

When we will be able to use Spotify without IPv4? Noting your current status: * Spotify uses Fastly for content distribution, and Fastly has IPv6 support: https://www.fastly.com/blog/ipv6-fastly * Spotify has supported IPv6 on mobile for a while: https://labs.spotify.com/2015/11/05/oh-ipv6-where-art-thou/, which helps you with heavily v6-centric mobile networks and Apple's v6 requirements Other large content providers report nontrivial amounts of IPv6: Google frequently serves more than 20% of content over IPv6, as does Facebook, as do general CDNs such as Akamai or Edgecast. Some networks, such as my ISP, are IPv6-native with tunnelled IPv4 to the Internet. Companies, including mine, are investigating IPv6-only office and DC networks to simplify security. Most of the work is in the desktop client for you. Is this on your roadmap? Resubmission of: https://community.spotify.com/t5/Closed-Ideas/Desktop-Desktop-client-IPv6-support/idi-p/1667179

As varied as my playlists are, fitting every mood, hitting most genres, I'd love the ability to enable and edit crossfades per playlist. An ambient playlist really excels with a long crossfade, while a heavy metal playlist benefits from little to none. Can you please add this feature?
