I wrote an email about this a while ago and got a response back that it's something they would like to maybe do but they needed more interest in the idea before they devote time to it. I'm not sure if this is for the other mobile apps too but I know my adroid app doesn't have this. Basically, there are a few music apps (not sure if I can mention the name but one I used to use a lot with the initials W.A.) out there that have check box in settings that lets the app use the headset/headphones to control play, pause, skip, etc. instead of controlling the phone. Right now, if I try to use the controls on my headphones to play, pause, or skip while in the Spotify app it will simultaneously dial the last incoming or out going number in my phone. It's just handy, especially in the winter so I don't have to haul my phone out of my pocket or dig in my bag for it, I don't have to haul off my gloves, mittens, or go buy special ones to use the touchscreen (I would imagine it would be a pain if your exercising or something like that too)...only have to click one of the buttons on my headphones. Thanks!

There is a graphic EQ in the spotify app, and this is all well and good. But when fine tuning a speaker system or headphones a graphic EQ is really a crude tool. I would really like Spotify to implement a parametric Equalizer in Spotify. The EQ should have 5 to 10 fully parametric EQ filters were each filter can be set up as: Low Shelf, High Shelf, High Pass, Low Pass, Peaking/Bell -filter. Each EQ filter shall have independent control for: Gain, Q och Frequency. High Pass, Low Pass should also be possible to set to 6, 12, 18, 24 or 48 dB/Octav. There should also be a bypass function for each EQ filter so that they can be turned on and off independently for comparison.

Currently there is no way of using the EQ with Spotify Connect. I use Spotify Connect together with the Gramofon unit ( https://gramofon.com/). But my speakers really needs an EQ. Preferably I would like the EQ to be fixed, that is set for my Gramofon only. So when I use spotify in my car or with headphones the EQ is of, or a specific EQ is set for that unit (my iPhone) in my Spotify app. When I use Spotify Connect I would like to be able to set an EQ for that unit, so when someone else connects to my device using Spotify Connect, they will also get the same EQ that I have set correctly for my speakers.

I'musing the radio function quite a lot and it would be awesome if there was a way to add the current song to your collection without taking the phone out of my pocket. Something like a headphone button click combination. For example if I press the headphone button once, the current song goes on pause, if I press it twice, it skips to the next song and so on. My suggestion is when I press the headphone button four times, the currently playing song is automatticaly added to my music library. This would be an awesome feature.

My ears are ringing while I write this... When I plug my headphones in, I always use the volume buttons on the iphone to lower the volume to a reasonable level before initiating playback. Unfortunately, Spotify doesn't honor this setting, and instead blasts out at whatever volume had been previously set. In my case, the previous volume is maxed out because when I'm not using headphones, I plug into a speaker dock. The result is that Spotify plays back at max volume and obliterates my ears. Meanwhile, I'm scrambling to rip the headphones off my head and lower the volume on my headphones. Other apps will honor the iOS headphone volume setting and not destroy users' ears. Spotify should do the same. This is a basic safety issue that needs to be fixed. It's not good to ship something that can physically hurt a user who is using the product reasonably.
