Hello, Just imagine a situation: You are sitting in the bus. And listening to your favourite music on headphones. When you notice a cute person who is sitting in the bus too, and really enjoying the music, while shaking head with the beat. So curious.. WHAT SHE/HE IS LISTENING TO?! How to know that? You take your phone from your pocket and open spotify app. There you see everyperson in 50m radius who is using Spotify and shares their music. And you see that she is listening for A-HA - TAKE ON MEE!. You connect to her music and listen to this song also. And when the bus stops, you leave it and say to her/him: ARE YOU PLANNING TO GO TO A-HA CONCERT THIS SUMMER? I LOVE THIS SONG TOO. And you live happily ever after <3 THE END (Or maybe just a beginning :) ___ So, the thing is : a possibility to look for surrounding spotify users and see what they are listening. A possibility to connect to their song. A possibility to turn ON or turn OFF music sharing (maybe you would like a private moment, and dont want to see everyone listening for your "shame songs" haha! I personally really really often pass a person with headphones and am very very curious, what they are listening to that moment. LIKE THIS IDEA? PLEASE VOTE UP AND LETS CREATE EVEN BETTER, CONNECTED SPOTIFY COMMUNITY  Cheers, Arturas from Lithuania ... View more

I listen to chill music to sleep at night, and I don't really want my Discover Weekly based on this chill music. Just because I listen to it often means that is what I want more of, rather I am looking to find a way to either exclude that playlist from the DW algorithm OR choose on which playlists the algorithm should be based.    At this point, my love for this Spotify feature is diminishing quickly without this setting. The sooner it can be improved, the happier many of us will be. :)  ... View more

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

I don't know when the algorithm was updated but my discover weekly has become a shadow of its former self. The whole reason I even pay for premium is for the Discover Weekly and Release Radar. My Discover has become completely dominated by rain sounds, "4Hz Healing Drone", and Lo-fi that I don't even listen to. Please fix. Okay, thanks. ... View more

Have you ever wanted a playlist by someone with your similar taste? Or if we like our playlist perfectly but want an extension? I keep trying to find playlists that have my songs and more. The radio function is the same but lacks the human touch. I always wanted people with the same emotion making the playlist with our taste. It would be cool if we could see the most related to our playlist through how many of our songs are in said playlists, (e.g. this playlists contains 100 common songs from your "Name of playlist" ...

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.   ...

I think it really doesn't make sense suggesting songs you already have in your playlists or your library when you are trying to "Discover" new music. Once you finish listening to a suggested album within Discover, the new music in the queue should also be unknown. Discover should be for new artists and songs only. ... View more

When you like a song in a playlist, such as your daily mix, it shouldn't immediately add it to your library as this is easy to do anyways and instead should just tell the algorithm that you like the song and suggest new ones for you ... View more

I'm not so interested in  remixes or covers of songs I already have. I'd love for the Release Radar to only contain new music. It would be good if we could exclude these the same way we can exclude an Artist. I've seen this posted before but never had enough trackion to stick, so reposting.  ... View more

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

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 ...

it's quite a simple feature which shows you, for any song you choose, the top 25 songs (by plays) of the users that played this particular song, I think it will be a great new way to discover new music, because it will give you a "hit list" when you know you already have one song you like ( (like the radio for a song, with different logic) ...

very often I found this one particular song so nice, and want to know everything about this one song, keep me discovering even more songs of the same. I think Soundcloud does this very well, so I wish Spotify could add these things: -  Year of release - so I know it's old or new. - Genre tags - I desperately need know what kind of this song I'm listening, I can 1 click on the genre tag so I can discover all other song in the same category (such as: progressive house, downtempo, new age, ...) - Have suggestions for one individual song - show me related tracks, playlists this song was in, album this song was in. --- Have 2 more columns in playlist/album: Year of release and first gerne tag. This woule help me learn more and discover about my songs faster. ... View more
