I had heard in an article that Spotify was unofficially testing a new feature called "social session", which allows users to not only play a friends playlist, but to "connect" to it while it is playing on the hosts Spotify session "in realtime" while the host is playing it on his device.  Then all listeners would be "synced" in real time to whatever is playing on the playlist by the host.  I don't know if this feature has been officially released yet or not. ...but if so, where do we find it and how do we turn it on?   Personally I am a user of IMVU, and a moderator for the Blood Moon Room dance club, where we have 3D virtual chatrooms, many of them clubs where music is streaming and playing, and all persons in the chat are hearing the music together in sync in real time.  Many people are unable to go out and gather in person due to the Covid outbreak, which means that virtual clubs and dance parties online will become more popular.  Again, it would be nice if a Spotify user could host a virtual dance party with playlists that can playback AT THE EXACT SAME TIME on multiple accounts & devices in multiple locations for virtual chat rooms, ....more specifically, us IMVU chatroom users.   I am in agreement with "ladansmix" and others who have posted this idea.  If there is already a method or way of doing this, please let us all know.  This will help keep us all sane during this time of physical social isolation!   Thank you!

I'm someone who rarely uses the desktop app, but I like to see what my friends are currently listening to. I use Spotify almost exclusively through the mobile app and web player, but friend activity is not currently supported on either platform. Due to limitations on software installation, I can only use the web player while at work and it's very disappointing that the web player has such limited features, despite me being a premium member. ...

So we already have to option to listen to the current song of a friend. But i would like to make that continues. So spotify will automaticly play what my friend is listening to.    I know something simular has been requested but i would like just a simple button next to a friend to start listening to the same music as he/she is listening to. ...

Spotify... looks like Discord beat you to it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VYAJpykiX9k&feature=youtu.be. Step up your game!     Hi!    Back in the dark ages when I used Grooveshark, they had a feature that I really liked, as well as all my friends. This feature was Live User Radio Stations.   How it works is this: User "John" decides to start a live radio station, when a user starts a live radio station, it will give them a blank playlist. The user can fill this blank radio playlist with their personal playlists or song by song. Other users who follow that user get notified that "John" has started a live radio station. When users join the live radio station, everyone will hear the same music at the same time. There would also be a mini (text) chat for users to converse with each other in the radio station. User John can update the playlist whenever he likes, and if John skips a song, them every one else will have the song skipped as well. I remember this idea being super fun, you could listen in while studying, or whatever. Would love to see this feature in Spotify. ... View more

     I have come up with the situation that I'm with someone and it's hard to decide what to listen to to satisfy both of our music tastes. The options available are to look for an existing playlist that we both agree on, or creating a Playlist of a mix of tracks we both like. But what if Spotify can do that automatically?        We should be able to go to a friend's profile and have a playlist generator option and have it create a playlist with both users' favorite tracks. That way, users that want to share a playlist mix can have a start-up point of a playlist that can be edited and followed. The playlist created can be named: "John & Doe's Mix", where the name of the users can be placed. It can have around 60 tracks (30 per user) and they should be arranged randomly with a wide variety of their tastes, and also considering tracks or genres they have in common.        This function could be really helpful for people with the same problem as me and I would like to be able to use it in the future.  ...

Hello,  My name is Aleksander. I work as a graphic & interaction designer in Oslo. I listen to music almost all of my day while working. If I could find a way to listen to music during meetings, I would do that too. Spotify is the one and main platform I use.  I have an idea for you guys. Music sharing amongst friends is great. I follow my friends, who I think has a rather good taste in music. I can see what they are listening to, to the right view in the desktop version. Seems like real-time too, thats neat!  But I want to share a song fast, and easily. So my intuitve mind told me to drag the song I wanted to share, above their profile picture. And then maybe write a message before sending it. The same way by dragging it into a playlist. But to a friend instead.  I'm sure, this would enhance the overall user-experience (It's allready a great experience) But when the users know they can drag songs to a playlist, why not their friends too?  If my idea is not clear enough, I'll sketch it out on my free time.  All the best!

Hi Guys,   Sometimes I play a song from a friend or acquaintance that shows on the feed. It would be amazing if that person got a notification of some sort that a friend played that track.  If someone decided to play something because I was playing it, I would be just tickled...and it would make the act of listening a little more connected.  For instance, it could be a jumping off point to start a conversation with someone you've lost touch with.    Maybe it's just shown as a badge with bubbles of who decided to play it if you hovered over the badge...I don't know.  But I think you get the point!   Thanks!

I think it would be great if Spotify showed other listeners in your area who are listening to the same artists you are, or who have highly similar music tastes (of course there would be the ability to turn the feature on or off). For example, these people could be listed under "Friend Activity" or "Find Friends", or on an artists "Overview" page, it could show a list of people in your area who are listening to that artist regularly or recently. Benefits:   -Find new music based on what these people are listening to. You can choose to follow these people and their playlists and they can choose to follow you. -This would be a game changer for musicians in search for other like-minded musicians. -I think it would make Spotify more of a social network type of experience that music fans would really like.   ...

Hi Spotify,    Throwing in a recommendation to allow us to remove/delete followers.    At the moment, Spotify doesn't allow us to approve or reject followers of my profile. There are people on my followers list that I DO NOT want following me. Please Spotify - do what Facebook, Instagram and Twitter allows us to do and delete/remove our followers. It puts us in control of our privacy.  I don't think is an awfully difficult  feature to implement as we are already able to stop following others. Just need an option to remove others from following us.    Pls. Privacy. Importante. Thanks.  ... View more

A few years back when you visited certain artists on the Spotify app on PC you could see who was a monthly listener of said artist from your friend list, and I often found it satisfying knowing who out of my friends list listened to the same music as me. I cant understand at all why Spotify would decide to remove this fun, innocent feature so I want to see it return again. I've attached what this used to look like on the PC. ... View more

We have collaborative playlist in our office, and sometimes people want to know what song is playing. We have noticed that Spotify currently shows previous song (in the friendlist) and not the one actually being played. It would be great if it showed live song so colleagues didn't have to interrupt each other wiith question "What song is on now?" In the attachment you can see what the spotify is showing me, but actually White Lies song was on, not Metallica's. ... View more

I think it would be cool of there’s any way the spotify app could have people gather at any location and start dancing to the same sync’d music and chose to join the party or by invitation.   Such as waiting around at airports.  Office lunch breaks,  walking in the park.  Even being silly and doing a conga line if they wanted but only the people with airpods or headphones join creating a virtual dance party.   ...
