Basically, I want to be able to turn the feed of people I'm following into a radio station. I start this radio station, and then Spotify picks at random from the songs the people I follow are currrently listening to. If no one is listening to anything at this time, then Spotify uses recent songs that my friends listened to as the basis for a general radio station. Does this idea already exist as an app or even a regular feature of Spotify?

It's GREAT that I can already see what my friends are listening to in the side bar, and then click to play that song as well, however, it would be AMAZING if I could just "live connect" to a friend, and hear what they listen to, AS they listen to it. Think of it as "live friend radio" or "Friend set" I understand that directly linking to a friend could pose some technical complexities, maybe another option would be the abilty to listen to a running playlist of all freinds latest listens..... that would update essentially the same way the current friend sidebar does..... Maybe this exists or is already possible in some way? thought? Quesions? Thanks.

Hi Spotify, I think this is an an awesome product but I just had an idea which I always feel would be implemented but as the days pass I do don't see it. I feel like the friend stream takes up a fairly large portion of the interface real estate but is the most under-utilized area. It's great to see what my friends play but so much more can be built off this section to make it more engaging and interactive. It would be awesome to "like" (internally through Spotfiy or through the Facebook API) a song that my friend plays. As multiple people like a specific song or artist, it should show or give an option to show who else likes a specific song and/or artist so that I can have a good sense of which of my friends or group of friends like the same songs or artist. This would make it more likely for me to take the time to listen to a particular artist/song as well as allow for the person who played the song on the feed to see that I liked the song they played and get friend-support. Once you like a particular song, it would be permenantly associated to that song (so you don't have to like it multiple times). I'm sure this could also help with the radio product. On the biz end, artists/spotify can use or sell this info to see what their fan-base enjoys. Just an idea I had where I think multiple parties can benefit.
