Dear Spotify   staff, Many fans including myself feel disappointed by boy group BTS' name being brought up in K-pop girl group BlackPink's spotify   profile. I am sure the writer of BlackPink's spotify profile description meant no harm, but mentioning one artist's name in another's profile description is something we found quite out of context and disrespectful.   -BTS and  BlackPink  are both talented groups   in their own authentic ways   and associating them with eachother for a fact as trivial as the one that they're in the same music industry isn't fair because they're   completely different and hard working artists who   deserve to   be loved for themselves, their concepts and their own music, not because they 'resemble'  eachother . By associating them, that is likely to damage the artists' sense of authenticity and ruin it especially for the people who don't know them yet.   -This could and has led to new listeners concluding that 'BlackPink is the girl version of BTS' which is undeniably wrong and unfair on both groups. They are both unique and should be known as such.   -BlackPink is consisted of 4 artists who we respect. I will repeat it :  we BTS fans completely respect BlackPink and every hard working artist who is under YG Entertainment. But, their company YG Entertainment has been known for not being very kind to BTS back when they were underground artists. So I hope you understand that that's the biggest reason why we do not want YG to be given the chance of using BTS for their own promotion.   As one of the biggest music platforms in the world, I am sure you do not only want your listeners to be satisfied but also your artists to shine under the best light possible. Please take both groups' authenticity and hard work into consideration because saying that they sound that much alike is not the right way to do it. All we ask is for you to simply remove those 3 letters from BlackPink's  Spotify   profile description. Thank you for reading. ... View more

Please stop recommending songs to me that I either have on a playlist already or have listened to before. Discover means to find something new, not to try something again. I can't imagine it being that hard to include simple code for the Discover feature that follows the logic "if the user has it on a playlist already or has listened to it before, don't recommend it as new." ...

At work, I listen to very calm and slow music all day as it is not distracting. It is boring and is not a reflection of what I listen to for fun. Outside of work, I will listen to an array of genres that sound absoluetly nothing like my work music choices.   The problem is that the majority of my listening is at work with the slow material, which means that Spotify thinks I prefer listening to that, so my "Made for You - Discover Weekly" playlist is a compilation of nothing but the slow boring work material and I dont get to "discover" anything new that I enjoy. This is very frustrating.   I think that Spotify can remedy this issue by adding a "switch" or "button" to turn off the alogarythm that tracks my listening while I'm at work, or for any other situation so that my "Discovery Weekly" is exciting again. Thank you for your considerations. ... View more

After the recent update to Spotify on Android, the interface for the Discover Weekly Playlist replaced the "Shuffle" and "Repeat" button with a "Like" and "Don't Like" button respectively.   I am now unable to at least have my Discover Weekly Playlist on "Repeat", and when my playlist is on the last song of the playlist it will stop and no longer move forward to the very first track unless I manually select the first track again. Moreover, if I was on the first track in the playlist I am unable to select the last track of the playlist using the "Previous" track button.   So my suggestion is can we have a way to introduce the "Shuffle" and "Repeat" button back in the user interface please.   ...

Idea: "Super Shuffle" - Shuffles all songs, yes all songs, across the entire library of Spotify - Meant to be a pure, unbiased music discovery feature - Nothing is curated, filtered out, or otherwise omitted - EVERY. SONG. - Gives equal opportunity for all artists, regardless of rank or popularity, to get exposure - One button press in the "Search" tab - To my knowledge, this feature is not available on any other platform and can be marketed as such ...

I´m using Spotify when I study, because of the great selection of music to focus with. But I´m really getting tired of this affecting my discover weekly and release radar-playlists, since I only listen to classic/instrumental music when I´m studying, and not in my everyday life. I was thinking about making a "studysession" alternative, that would work almost like a private session, except that the songs you listen to when your studysession is active dont effect your discover weekly or release radar. If you want them to be effected, you simply dont turn on studysession.  ... View more

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. ...

This is a re-posting of the original idea posed by cphilippsen  in 03.2017.   The discover weekly and Release Radar are broken. I liked several cover songs and now it seems like upwards of 50% of the songs recommended for me are low-quality or poorly-executed covers I have no interest in whatsoever. If the discover playlists are only updated once a week, It is a disservice to everyone to have to deal with these unwanted covers.  The idea for implementation is as simple as "Only allow original music" toggle switch. Unfortunately, this would take another layer of data for all songs. Another idea would be as easy as blacklisting songs containing the phrase "cover". ... View more

When I really like an artist, I will hit the "Follow" button on the artist page. Some of them I know by heart, some of them, unfortunately, I will forget. The only way to find them is by chance, or go to the "Artists" list in the mobile app, and the ones I'm following will have a "Following" tag. There is a filter function in the Artists list when you swipe down in iOS, next to the search bar. However, the only filtering option is "Downloads". In the Windows desktop software, the "Following" option can also be added. It's fairly easy to add a "Following" filter, so I can easily get to my favorite artists, and listen to their other songs. ... View more

For some reason spotify has changed daily mixes from an ongoing list of music to just a playlist of 30 or so songs. I enjoyed being able to turn on my daily mix and let it play for hours but now the playlist style mix runs out of songs rather abruptly considering you skip some songs you dont like. Why would they change that? Also, if you opened the daily mix and didn’t like how it looked, you could back out and open back up and it would be regenerated. Now it doesn’t do that, it just stays the same until the next day. This was how I enjoyed spotify and this pretty much ruins my listening. ... View more

Basically I made up this idea where when you see a song right next to the song title it shows a little number and the number shows how many people are currently listening to the song you are viewing. The number will be a live counter of how many people are currently listening to the song. This could help a person figure what music people are listening and what the latest hottest songs are! I hope you take this idea into consideration and have a nice day! ... View more

Currently the only way to catch up on unplayed Podcast episodes is to use the Android App. On the Desktop the only way to check for new Episodes is to check each Podcast individually instead of having a stream of unplayed Podcast Episodes like in the Android app. Please include an "unplayed Podcast Episodes" Stream in the Desktop Vesion.   ...

You can tell the system the artists and songs you like, but telling the system you don't like artists is much less intuitive. I love Bryce Vine, so I press the like button. I know I don't like Cardi-B (Don't hate on me), so why can't I search her up and "dislike" her? I think this is a necessary feature to implement. You are selling a personalized music experience, and it is very annoying to get songs or artists in my auto-play I could very easily mark as not wanted.  Thank you! ... View more

The new interface for the web player has removed "private session."  Why would you remove this functionality?  I want to be able to listen to certain music without discover weekly "learning" from those music sessions!  Please bring this back! ... View more

I would like to have a setting in Spotify where I can specify genres of music I'm not interested in so that they no longer show up in Browse - specifically so that they don't get displayed my New Releases or Discover tabs. If I know I'm not interested in something, I shouldn't be constantly presented with it. ... View more

I really like the new Release Radar function. It's like a personalized "Discover weekly", which is awesome. But however, as the concept of this is based on personalization, you should open up for more customization. For example the ability to include or exclude spesific playlists, artists or albums. My Release Radar shows me new songs from artists that i haven't really listened to for 5 years. Now this could be great, but i should have the option to exclude this artist if i don't want new music from this artist(s).    I use, and believe alot of people now use, pre-made playlists by Spotify, "Digster" etc. When alot of people use playlists that they haven't really made themselves, this might include alot of music that they love, but also artists and songs that they are not that big fans of. In this case the Release Radar s input data will be wrong for determining which new songs to suggest. And this, amongst other things, is why we should be able to choose what we want to set as the input-data for the Release Radar (which songs it uses to suggest new ones).  There could also be different sets of standard settings for this. For example "Use only songs listened to the last 30 days", "Use the music from my top 3 playlists", "Use the music from all my playlists" etc, as well as the ability to manually choose (both include and exclude) the playlists, artists, albums and songs that should be set as the basis for the Release Radar..  ...
