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.

someone suggested this idea 7 years ago, but it didn't gain enough popularity and was closed. i'm hoping this time it might gain more traction? anyways, my (and other person's) idea is to add notes to songs in your playlist. for example, i have a playlist of songs that remind me some of my favorite otps, and i want to make a note or description for each song that allows someone listening to/discovering the playlist to know which otp the song references. i just think it'd be neat to share how songs are personally relevant/relatable to you :)

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?

I can view recent podcasts episodes that I'm currently listening to or haven't started listening to in the iOS app. The desktop app currently doesn't allow me to list podcast episodes. They are always grouped under each podcast title. What I want is basically the same view as in the iOS app but in the Desktop app. A way to view all podcast episodes from podcasts I follow. Sorted by how recently they have been released (and maybe other options). With indicators that highlight if I've started listening and my progress Make this the default view for podcasts - it makes more sense to me than viewing all my shows

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!

The "Duplicate Song" warning pops up whenever you try to add a song to a playlist that already contains it. A user that never wishes to add a song twice to the same playlist has to press "cancel" for every song she or he does not remember is in a certain playlist. An improvement would be if one could ask Spotify to choose "cancel" by default. Also give us a feature to remove duplicate songs from playlists, I can't believe this is a feature by default. Currently making Playlists in your software is a nightmare.

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.

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 :)

Spotify for Linux is implemented using GTK2, a very old version of GTK. Current version is GTK3+ and GTK4 is in the works. Wayland support is also hit and miss. Upgrade the Spotify client for Linux to natively support Wayland and implement it in GTK3+.

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.

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

Add a shuffleplay button next to the green play button. And then when you press "Play" you start the music without shuffle, and when your press shuffleplay you get your music with shuffle on. Like normal!

(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 everyone. I just moved all my podcasts from iTunes to Spotify and found few useless things. It's all about managing your podcasts. First. Eg you added podcast with 6 episodes. In your podcasts library you see "6 episodes". Great! (screenshot 1). In next 2 days you listened 3 episodes but in library you still see "6 episodes" (same screenshot because nothing changed). I know that it's a count of all episodes in podcast but it's useless. I need to know how much episodes left. Not all amont episodes of current show. Only one thing could help me to sort my podcasts - "unplayed" filter but only for current podcast. I feel myself uncomfortable even use it. Okay, on iOS we have a feed for new episodes. What about desktop? How to see how much unplayed episodes left in podcast? How to be notified about new episodes? Second. I played all episodes of podcast but I don't want to remove it because it may release new episodes someday. This played podcast disturbing me and I want to hide it until new episodes will be released. I can't. I can't hide it or move somewhere to concentrate all my attention to unplayed podcasts.

Needless to say, this "little green weird arrow" is an imporatnt part of UI, it's telling us, users, we are ready to play our songs on the offline... but what if? IMHO, it's such a waste of "territory" by adding it in the right sight just between "words" and "black" line. What if... that would be great to turn into green the other side, look at this...
Thanks for your attention! :)

Hi! Please bring back the ability to search for a song/artist by pressing the letter it begins with, that was super handy!
The other updates are great though I love the queue and 'your music' header.
Thanks!

I like the changes that have come to the iOS app recently, but in my opinion the layout on the desktop app is lacking behind. I've come up with an idea for a new playlist-layout, by using some of the empty space found in the top of each playlist. I've focused on creating a more symmetrical design, as well as including more of the album covers - these are also presented in a much nicer way. The green arrow next to the main green button in the middle is the 'available offline' button. I hope you like it! :-) Current Layout: New Layout:

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.

Is it possible that the playlist moves with/after the songs its playing? Example, when you press play at the first song on top of the playlist you can see the song it’s playing. But when it changes songs to the bottom you still see the top. It does not move with the song its playing.

In previous versions you could click on a playlist-folder in the left hand pane and see all songs that are included in child-playlists of that folder. You were able to select songs from all of the playlists included in that folder and add them to another playlist or the queue. Now you only can go through every child-playlist of that folder and search songs there and it's also not possible anymore to create a playlist-radio for the whole folder.
I used to have a playlist-folder with genre-playlists of music I really like. I could decide whether I'd like to listen to music from a single genre or from all of the genres I like. I know you can still play the whole playlist-folder but you can't just start with your favorite song or browse all the songs included in all child-playlists anymore because there is no list. Please bring this feature back or at least give us the choice of how we want playlist-folders to be displayed.
