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

I'm an active seeker of new music. I often chose to follow the artist I discover because I want to hear more of them. And probably because I'm a musical hoarder.   At this point, it is not intuitive enough to manage, sort and get an overview of the artists I follow, that could be a lot better and a powerful future tool. Just imagine getting a descending list of the most frequent similar artists to the artists I follow.   Until then, it would be so very lovely to have a dynamic playlist that automatically updates with all new tracks when released by the artists you follow.   I appreciate the "Release Radar" concept and Spotify makes my Fridays sometimes brighter when the list is packed with new exciting releases.   I understand that it might be a question of space, but that is manageable with a limiting choice or even an extra cost. ...

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

Discover Weekly used to be a good tool because I could turn it on and listen through it. Then I could pick-up good songs on-the-go (1-5 per week).    However, since I've been listening to other languages it has become plagued with random songs. Example: - US rock and roll song.  - US hip hop song (... hhmmmm ok ... my bad i suppose).  - Argentinean cumbia (... why). - Mexican EDM (... wow).    I may like all these songs but this is not a playlist I would ever listen to.    I listen to: 1. English (80%) 2. Spanish (10%) 3. French (5%) 4. Other languages (5%)   Can you not make a filter for the Discover Weekly to choose a language? Or let us have 2 or 3 lists based on language? Keep it separate, it only makes sense.   Spotify closed the previous ideas with >100 votes (??????????). I don't understand. IF you're reading this and have a similar problem, VOTE so Spotify won't back out again.    https://community.spotify.com/t5/Closed-Ideas/Discover-Weekly-Exclude-certain-Languages/idi-p/1481878 ...

With so many customized playlists that suggest music for the listener (music Spotify's algorithms identify as music the listener will like), it only makes sense the user will want to add many of these songs to their library by liking them.  This process should be made as easy as possible for the user by letting them do so from the lock screen.  A Spotify listener should not have to unlock their phone every time they want to like a new song.  It is inconvenient and even dangerous in instances where the user is driving or performing another activity.   ...

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've always loved my Spotify, and before my 4-year old daughter was born, I used to enjoy all the "created for you playlist" songs suggested by Spotify. Now there's a weird mix between my daughters' music and mine. So, when I listen to my daily mix, I need to be skipping all children-songs. I mean, that music is pretty nice, but, not something I want to hear during my working hours, or with my friends. And as all kids her age, she loves to play her favorite songs again and again and again. So in 3 hours I can listen the same song 15 times... I guess that's why Spotify now thinks I love Coco or Frozen soundtracks more than anything in the world. I suggest you let us choose between two profiles in the same account, like other video platforms does. So when you open your app, yI can choose between Kids profile, and my own. That would also give everyone chance to put parenting controlas and would make Spotify fans from a very young age! Thank you! ... View more

Some bands and artists post commentary versions of their songs/albums which is fine for those that are interested. But it makes for a bad listening experience if I just want to shuffle an artist's song list and a bunch of commentary versions come up. Having to create a Playlist with everything but the commentary versions seems like an awkward workaround because most times I don't want that as a playlist…   Some example artists are "Avett Brothers" and "Jack Johnson".   Another usecase would be when an artist has multiple versions of a song (if a band has a "Best of…" album for example). It'd be good if you could just disable any "duplicates" and just have the version you like most play in the cycle. I used to do this with iTunes.   I understand there has to be a reason for this. There was a similar idea posted which is now closed but I still think something like this is worth considering. I hope this provides a little more context to why it's valuable. ... 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

The new Tastebreakers playlist is AWESOME! Spotify should implement this as a weekly playlist alongside Discover Weekly.  I love Discover Weekly, but it doesn't really stretch my boundaries.  I have historically used Hype Machine to find songs that are really out there and interesting, but as Spotify's in app experience has continued to improve, I find myself spending more and more time there instead.  Tastebreakers seems like the perfect in between - personally curated music that is just beyond my comfort zone.  More of this please! ...

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. ...

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

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." ...

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

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
