There needs to be a "now playing" screen for desktop, something that looks like the chromecast screen. That way you can keep the app open on your computer and see what is playing and what is coming up next.  ... View more

Hi. After much time thinking, I've come to the conclusion that Spotify, lo and behold, offers a far better music experience than Microsoft's own Groove service. However, there is one thing missing that I believe is crucial to this experience that gives Microsoft a few extra brownie points is apps. Spotify's desktop app, while being the go-to for all desktop users, is feeling the age and is starting to get clunky. My suggestion to the Spotify development team is to build a new Spotify app on the Universal Windows Platform. The benefits of this are huge. The UWP allows for porting of the great iOS app, making development a bit easier, and the UWP allows for one code-base across devices, meaning that one Spotify app could run on a Windows 10 desktop, phone, Xbox, and even Microsoft's HoloLens. With support for features like Cortana, users could call up their music with a simple voice command, without ever having to leave their work or their games. This app would bring a much needed refresh to desktop users on Windows 10, and could strengthen Spotify's customer base by reaching out to those on Xbox and Windows Phone. I strongly urge all of my fellow listeners on Windows 10 to upvote this, and let's get this ball rolling. ... View more

Hi   Sometimes I get overwhelmed with 50+ notifications in the morning and I don't care about the playlists update for example but I really want the new releases from the artists I follow. (I already created a post regarding this topic and there are more ideas with the same goal.)   I would like to have a filter for the notifications where I can choose which I want to see. Possible filter options: All Artists Playlists Friends ...? A simple dropdown next to the title of the open notification area is sufficient (e.g. using the same icons for the filters as in the rest of the UI: artist - "microphone icon", etc.).    My mockup:   ...

Hi everyone!   So, Apple recently announced that Siri would be open to developers to allow voice-control over their apps. It sounds very logical to me that Spotify would integrate Siri. Commands such as "Play my driving playlist", "Add Stairway to Heaven to the queue", "Add this song to my collection", etc... This would be very useful in many situations, either from a Mac with macOS 10.12, an iPhone with iOS 10 or even an Apple Watch with watchOS 3.   I find myself using Siri on my Watch a lot while driving, mostly to switch to the next song in the playlist. More features would be very welcome. ... View more

Larger volume slider for desktop version. As the buildin  volume control cannot be used for spotify (an idea someone else mentioned), it will be great if the volume slider would be larger.   I am using desktop on a windows 10 in tablet mode and the slider is just about 2,5 centimeters which is too small. I would like to see the slider over the right part of tascreen vertically to be able to set the volume more accurate. ... View more

I just had the following idea.   Say I have a party this night and I want to play my spotify playlist and I am a freemium member. I would like to see an option where I can watch ads for say 30 minutes, to save up some sort of ad-credits. The night of the party I can then spend these credits so that I am ensured of ad-free listening during teh party.   When I am working or chilling I don't listen to the ads. If there are too many ads I switch to services as Youtube. However, Spotify is my application of choice and if I can watch the ads in my own time.     ... View more

I know its probably not top priority at the moment but the inclusion of some in-app transitions and animations would greatly enhance the user experience. Things like transitions when switching between playlists and animations for  re-arranging songs within them would be a welcome addition (See this GIF) along with other general animations in the app to make navigation feel more flowing and less like you're waiting for something like a webpage to load.   Thanks!   ...

I don't really mind all the ads, Spotify is mostly used as a free service and they got to make money from somewhere, I can understand that. The only real problem that hinders me from the music streaming are the video ads. I don't have the best connection. Most of the time for my household, the connection speed is way below par. It is good enough to stream audio files, so music and auditory ads are fine.   But when a video ads wants to start streaming, my connection speed cannot handle it. An ad that is about 30 seconds, might take up to 3 minutes of a stuttering video. It isn't very pleasant. I'm not saying it is necessesary to get rid of them, but to at least have saved versions of the ads on my computer so whenever they do play, it isn't being a parasite on my connection and stutter every half a second upon playing. ...

When a user deletes the currently playing song from the current playlist, Spotify should automatically skip to the next song.   Steps to reproduce: 1. Open a playlist and start playing any song from the list 2. Delete the currently playing song 3. Spotify continues to play the deleted song   Expected results: 1. Open a playlist and start playing any song from the list 2. Delete the currently playing song 3. Spotify should skip to the next song in the playlist   Reason: I do this regularly to clear out songs I don't like in a playlist. If the user no longer wants the song in the list then it seems reasonable that they don't want to listen to it anymore. ... View more

It seems that there is a pattern of removing features from the desktop app.  Just yesterday I was outraged to findout that the follower count was gone when you're inside a playlist.  This along with lyrics and notifications and many other features have slowly been removed.     Spotify, don't you realize that the desktop users are the ones creating the good playlists and bringing in more users to you.  Desktop is NOT DEAD.  Desktop users use desktop features to make those playlists and if you remove incentive for it (follower count) and their tools of doing so then how different are you from Apple music?  ...

I am incredibly fed up with these problems! I don't have a notification bell AND I NEVER get notification emails!!!! If this is all a part of some A/B Testing, I DON'T WANT TO BE A PART OF IT!!!! I don't receive any notifications about followers, new music, or anything! It's incredibly annoying trying to figure out who is following your playlist. I hate it so much, and it is plain ridiculous to take away the notification bell. Do I really have to log in to my web player every time I want to check my notifications?!?! That's stupid. First of all, if you're going to take a feature away, shouldn't you take it away from all means of getting onto spotify? Second, if I am signed up for notification (WHICH I AM), THEN I SHOULD GET NOTIFICATIONS. Do A/B testing on people who hate notifications, not me! I honestly cannot remember the last time a received a notification, and I can assure you that I have the correct settings turned on. Please, fix this problem!!! It is so incredibly annoying, especially as a PREMIUM member. I don't see what the point is of this test if you can choose to get notifications or not (again, STUPID).  In addition, I should also be able to see who follows my playlists at any given time, and of course, I should receive the notifications too. Spotify is a social app. The ability to see your followers is a part of the social factor! Furthermore, for those who still receive notifications about new playlist followers, it just doesn't make sense to block seeing your playlist followers on the desktop/phone apps and web player when you get emails about the new followers. It's counterintuitive and distasteful.    FIX THE PROBLEM OR AT THE LEAST, TAKE ME OFF OF THE A/B TESTING LIST!!!!! ... View more

Hello Spotify Staff :)   I started using Spotify some time ago. I love this service it's really great - keep it up. There's just one thing in this software that regularly bullies me. I use a binary mode debugger named OllyDbg (you probably know it). And as soon as i start working with Olly, Spotify kills itself instantly with a very descriptive message what the problem is. I know, you may fear that your software is reverse engineered using such tools. But you also know that there's more to anti-debugging than scanning all running windows for their window-classes or scanning the process list. I myself dont want to reverse your software - see i pay money for it. I use OllyDbg to reverse or debug my own libraries.   If you would consider disabling the process/window-class-scanning it would really be great. As you may know it takes some knowledge of assembly language to actually be able to USE ollydbg.   I read about this problem - there's even an inactive idea somewhere around here which suggested similar things - and am convinced that a novice ollydbg user would circumvent this in less than 30 Minutes if he or she really meant to. That's not just a claim, thats a fact. And for those who don't want to circumvent your software's mechanism there's only the option to fall back to the web player.. Which is not very convenient :( And it sucks if your music suddenly stops in the middle of the work. Also there are several ollydbg stealth plugin's available which solve this problem instantaneuosly. So why search for the process/window-class in the first place? I'd suggest you limit your anti-debugging mechanism to things that actually happen WITHIN the spotify proccess(es).   I hope you see my arguments :)   Kind regards ... View more
