So, one of the things that has made me an ongoing paid subscriber this past year was the Discover Weekly playlists.  For a long time, they were spot on, building off my tastes to give me new music I might not have otherwise encountered.   Then, however, I started using my Spotify account to play lullaby music to help my 1-year-old fall asleep.  This was initially great, except now, for the past month, every new Discover Weekly playlist I get is all baby music.  I get why the algorithm thinks this is what I like because his music plays for 8 hours through the night, buttttttt, it's just for that use, to put him to sleep.  It's not really part of my regular listening diet, and it's been disappointing this past month because of how much I used to look forward to each month's new mix.  I feel like an appropriate fix could be a feature for me to let the algorithm know that I did not want the mix that it made me for four weeks running, or, alternatively, a button I could push to ask whatever algorithm puts this stuff together to ignore the lullabies when making new mixes.  I know this probably doesn't seem like a big problem, but it feels easily adjustable and would return a feature of Spotify that I was really loving.  Thanks.   ...

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 ❤️ 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

There are certain playlists and artists I listen to frequently on Spotify for activities that aren't specifically just listening to music - I have a gym playlist that has generic instrumental rock, and I have a playlist with vocal exercises from Drill Music Studio.   Unfortunately due to the frequency of listening, these have appeared at the top of my end-of-year wrap-up playlists, and I will need to sort through and exclude these songs to find the songs I actually listened to for pleasure during the year.   Is there a way to exclude certain artists, songs or playlists from counting towards listening totals? I'd appreciate using this to ensure the Spotify Wrapped playlists have an accurate reflection of the songs and artists I discovered during the year, and what some of my favourite songs were.   This was first suggested by user  maxjam   on an earlier ticket (Spotify Wrapped Customization (4626570)) , and I think it is worth bringing up again to review. ...

I listen to a lot of podcasts and I use Spotify for this. With that being said, however, I listen to music a lot as well. My homepage is full of basically only suggested podcasts from Spotify and I don't want that. I want the suggested new music, daily playlists, etc. Instead it is very hard to access that. Is there a way we can customize this and get rid of all of these suggested podcasts and instead make music more of the homepage again? ... View more

Hi,   Listening to AudioBooks make the algorithm think, that you like the „musician“ a lot (especially if the audiobook has hundreds of chapters).   So the algorithm will fill your Mixtapes with Audiobook chapters.   This is annoying.   Please remove AudioBooks from Mixtapes !!!   Lets get this a 100 votes so that this will be reviewed by Spotify 🙂 ...

Hi everybody. I recently noticed that the "Appears On" section that you see on an artist's profile is not ordered by date (year) anymore. Now it looks like it's not organized at all but a moderator kindly replied me that is now ordered by popularity. Here's the question: https://community.spotify.com/t5/Content-Questions/Why-quot-Appears-On-quot-section-is-not-ordered-by-release-date/m-p/4965180#   So I was wondering if you could implement the option to order the artist's apparitions by year or popularity depends on how you wanna see it. Because I usually use that section to see my favorite artists's new releases. I follow the playlist "Release Radar" where I see the new releases but there are sometimes that artists has more than one new release and I look at the "Appears On" to see if there are more releases that week.   It would be really cool to make that possible because the current order isn't that useful for me and I'm pretty sure that more people would like that. I attached an image to explain myself a little better.   Regards!   p.d. If you liked the idea it would be great that you could share it with your friends to make it more popular and more likely to be implemented in the app! ... View more

I've been using Spotify four about five or six years, and while I really enjoy it, the interface is starting to feel more intrusive and less like my music library. On applications that were not subscription-based, such as Windows Media Player and iTunes, one did not receive suggestions popping up while scrolling through one's music. Now, I feel like I'm often receiving sudden pop-ups for musicians, usually ones that I don't listen to, while I'm browsing through my music. Even if it was a musician I like, I would not want this feature. It feels intrusive and more like I'm being sold something. I don't mind suggestions being there in the home menu. That gives me the option to look if I want without it being pushed on me. Pop-ups, however, are too aggressive.   Some might argue that the company needs to make a profit as well, and while that is true, I'm a premium member. I pay the monthly fee so that I don't have to listen to advertisements. While these pop-ups don't show up in between songs, and while they are instead sponsored by Spotify and not some other company, they are, at the end of the day, advertisements. They're meant to sway you in to listening to an artist.    By removing pop-up suggestions, Spotify would be less intrusive and more like a personal music library.  ... 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

It would be nice if there would be an option on artists’ pages to put on push notifications for new songs and albums the artist has released when new content comes out. It could be just a simple icon with a bell so that the app would let us know when any new content comes out, instead of having to rely on outside media sources to discover new tracks from our favorite artists. ...

I always use Spotify and enjoy creating my own different libraries. However, when I'm listening to the radio and I don't know who the artist is or what a tune is called, I use Shazam. I think it would be really helpful/useful if, after finding a tune/artist on Shazam, I could press a button and that tune could be automatically added to the Spotify library of my choice. Anyone else think this would work? ... View more

When I‘m travelling, spend time with friends at special places or just are somewhere in nature, a city, a park, a Café ... Listening to music is quite normal. And in our brains and hearts we are wiring places, music and emotions.   I would love to have a feature for exploring places and music that I listened to, when I was there. A map with songs visualized by symbols. Same feature that I have for photos in my photo apps.   Best would be an integration with What3Words! But I’m happy with a simple map and some filtering, too 🙂 ... View more

These days that vinyl albums have made a return, I guess that so have album notes, i.e. a description or narrative, along with artist credits, published with the physical disc or CD. Could these be included in Spotify?    This subject has not been brought up for about 5 years, but I wonder if, now, it would be technically easier to achieve.   I appreciate the album art, enjoy reading the artist biographies and I notice that individual track credits, though sparse, are now available. Perhaps it is time to take the accompanying narrative to the music a step further?   The sort of things typically covered, in addition to composition credits, are names of the individual musicians, song lyrics and additional writing by, or approved by, the artist. Extracts from the Dob Dylan album Desire attached. ... View more

When I find a great song, I used to love going to Spotify Radio of that song to give me 30-50 similar tracks.   My issue is that Spotify now tailors the 30-50 songs that it suggests based on songs that I’ve already listened to on Spotify in general. I don’t want Spotify to recommend songs I’m already listening to!!!! Please please please stick to providing recommendations that are most similar to the song that I liked initially!  I used to think Radio was the best way for discovery, but now I feel like it’s difficult for me to find great similar songs on their radio feature because they are just showing songs that I’ve already streamed a lot. So sad! ... View more
