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

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

On mobile if you scrolled to the bottom of an artists page you would see album/compilations they have featured or been in. I used that all the time to find new music. It’s really disappointing that it’s gone when it was such a useful feature.  ... View more

This idea is relevant for artists I don't know very well and but also for artists I really like.   Sometimes when I'm discovering music I come across someone whose name I don't recognise but then after listening to them for a while realise I've heard them before and already have some of their music in a playlist. It would be great if when I click on an artist's profile it provides some stats about how many times you've listened to them, which tracks you've favourited, and which tracks are in any playlists you've created. My memory isn't perfect and I listen to so many new artists I don't always remember them so this would be incredibly useful.   This would also be great for artists I really like to see which ones I engage with the most.   It's the same with fitness apps, the more stats the better!   Christian ...

Spotify already knows concert venues around me so why not create a playlist (ala discover weekly) with shows happening in my area?!    Lets make it happen! This idea has been floated a few times but it would be rad, encourage live music and be a great way to discover new artists.  ... 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 ...

Just while we are here listening. Just one click to look at the art work in a big window is what I request.       The art work is a part of the body of work. Lovers of music lovers of the art. I often click on it because the postage stamp sized picture is just not big enough on my hi def screen. But nothing happens. Can we supersize the art work please. Thanks Spotify. ... View more

I mainly get this issue when listening to my release radar or discover weekly. I am not a fan of covers and remixes. If there was a way to filter out remixes or covers, that would be amazing.    Either have a block option for just remixes/covers, or have a way to block "key words" that would be so much easier. I could block or hide any words that I didn't want to come up in my radar and discover weekly then.    As a premium user, I'd love to have a bit more control over what shows up in the weekly suggestions. I feel like currently the algorithm isn't very accurate. I have been disliking nearly every song on both discover weekly and release radar because there is such an absurd number of covers and remixes that I hear, and it doesn't seem to be getting better. When I dislike a song, what exactly does that do? I'm not seeing any changes.     To recap: Having a way to block/hide remixes and covers, or an option to block/hide "key words" would be great!    Thanks.  ... 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's so cool when you click on the "about" tab for an artist how you can see what the top 5 cities that listen to the artist are. However, the only problem I find with this is that usually they are only very large major cities and typically the same for every artist. I think it would be so cool if there was a tab in the discover section or the browse section where you could see what songs people from your city or state listen to the most or which artists are listened to by your city the most. That would be so much cooler and more useful!  ... 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. ...

Hello,   i moved from Soundcloud to Spotify Family but i dont get an easy way how to explore new music. The only way (i guess) is to start a certain song/artist/playlist radio or to visit the followed artist from time to time to find new music.   what i'm missing is an exploration tool like in soundcloud which was really easy to use. You can follow not only artists but also normal users with a similar music taste. If an artist or user "repost" a track, everyone following this artist/user can see that specify track in his own "timeline" or "stream". that means the more artist/users you're following (with your own kind of music taste), the longer your endless stream of music will be, filled only with music you like.   and if your own  or the music taste of a User you're following has changed, you can unfollow him and no more tracks of the unliked music will annoy you. that would also make it probably easier to find the playlist of your friends. ...

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
