Kryomancy

I think you shouldn't need a Desktop or Laptop to Change a Photo on your Album. There are many users who don't have access to one, wether that be that don't own one, or it isn't working properly. There are plenty of applications on your phones that allow you to change your profile picture and I'm sure the same thing applies to your Album Picture and Profile Picture when people visit you and your Albums. Mobile should have the ability to Change their Profile Picture and Album Pictures on the App. Please add this to the App. I am a Premium User, if not make it a free feature, at least give it to your premium users. Something. Thanks.

Am a Premium user, was told that Premium Users would be getting the use of their new idea for organization of the Your Library tab. Didn't really mind, don't see it as much needed. I have few qualms with it other than the fact that there is no longer a section for Recently Played albums/songs. This is a pretty major inconvenience for me, seeing as I have a human memory that likes to forget things on me. Having to create a Recently Played playlist for myself to update every time a new song comes on is pretty impractical and annoying. So, please bring back the Recently Played section/tab. Very useful. Also, not extremely related, but the function to submit ideas seems hidden away in the tabs of the menu, itself hidden in a rabbit hole of non-expressive buttons (Help>Community>Menu>Ideas), and I was forbidden from posting on mobile (For not activating with my email? That's the first thing I did!). Not directly related to the app itself, but it felt like an issue I had worth mentioning.

Bring back the toal time of an album at the botom of the page. It's highly useful. Also some people just want to know!!

You guys finally listened and implemented a sort-of lyrics system on Android now, Genius' "Behind the Lyrics" (BTL). Now, BTL sometimes shows lyrics, and sometimes shows Genius' explanations for why the lyrics that are being sung that moment are written. So the app can display the lyrics at the proper times already. Genius also already has the full lyrics to most songs in their database. Let us toggle it so it doesn't switch to the explanations. Just the lyrics. I like the explanations, don't get me wrong, but sometimes I want to see what they hear at a specific time, if I can't understand them the explanation won't help me.

Ok we get it, Spotify doesn't want us to have a music library, we're supposed to be doing thumbs up or thumbs down on stations... K except one problem Spotify. THATS PANDORA. I'm cancelling my subscription soon if they don't revert Spotify back to where it's like a music store (you pay for the music, you pay for SD cards and phone service, you should be able to save your music)

With this new update, the new location/functionality of the 'Recently Played' list has negatively impacted how I listen to music in a big way. I'm going to be more specific with this request since apparently the last time this was requested and got 600+ votes, it was closed for a dumb reason. I'm suggesting back the OLD recently played list to the library page. I'm suggesting this with full knowledge that you've already implemented another (worse) recently played list on the home page. The new list involves massive photos with much less emphasis on the names of the items but the artwork instead, that scroll horizontally (only showing 2-3 items at a time), with no ability to hide items, and on top of ALL that garbage: it requires an internet connection (it's on the home page of course). There's also not even a guarantee that this horizontal list will be at the top of your Home page because Spotify likes to put promoted content up there and shift everything else down - even though you pay money and don't want ads getting in the way of using the app normally. And if you don't move this back to the library page, then how about somewhere else? Make it require a button press on the library screen to get to my recently played list for all I care. I just want my vertical OFFLINE list of songs back. I'm hoping this maybe has a different response. The last time someone posted this idea they didn't acknowledge the fact that there is a new location for recently played and Spotify simply responded: "we moved it". This post isn't suggesting that there isn't a recently played list, it's suggesting that in its current form it sucks.

It would be very cool if there was a 'roadtrip mode' where you could enter the usernames of the people in the car, and generate a playlist of the songs most people in the car like based on shared music taste. It can be editable so people could still queue up songs, but just a baseline to go off of.

Cr8onking · ‎2019-06-13

Remember before the update that got rid of the old Your Library tab? Yeah, bring that back. I want an artist's tab that shows every artist in my library, not just the followed ones and then a random list of all the other artists I have saved. And the songs tab. None of this playlist with every possible song in it garbage. And please, most of all, PLEASE bring back the list view of recently played everything! Albums, artists, playlists, whatever it be. And if course, the ability to SAVE AN ALBUM. I don't listen to track based artists. I LISTEN TO ALBUMS. So let me save that album with one click. The new user interface is probably great for some people. I hate it. Reddit hates it. So, just give us a nice little button we can press in settings to select which UI we want to use. Please, it's been 1 day and I hate the new UI. It feels like I list a bunch of stuff for the podcasts tab. I don't listen to podcasts. So give me the option to change it. Please spotify. I'm begging you. I love the statistics I get through you guys, I love the end of year review, but this UI makes me want to check out Apple music or sound cloud go or something else.

It would be nice if we could use our custom order while adding new songs to playlists. This order only works in library. When you try to expand your playlists by adding new songs, they're sorted by most recent. It makes it really hard to find the playlist you're looking for, especially when you have a lot of them and have to scroll through to find the one you're looking for. I think this issue appears only with custom order.

Malaurenvil2 · ‎2019-06-19

On the new update for Android. Version 8.5.9.737 on the screen that pops up when you are adding a song to a playlist. Those playlists are in "most recently edited" order. And while in my library I can change that to be custom sort. In that menu screen there is no option to reorder them. And as I have over 200 playlists that I add to at varying rates. This gets annoying pretty quickly and my only temporary fix is having a bunch of folders for them all. Please either revert this part of the update at least. So that the playlist show up in your custom order when ur choosing which one to add a song to. Or add an option for how they show up on that screen

ssssaaaa · ‎2019-09-20

At some point the "Add to playlist" list was sorted by "Custom order" like "My Library" on the Android app (and I'm guessing it's the same for iOS) and how my playlists are sorted it the sidebar on desktop. Simple to figure out and order as made sense to you. Some time ago you made a change to how the "Add to playlists" list were sorted. I don't know what this new sorting is based on (I'm guessing it's algorithmic in some way, it seems to change every time I add a song to a playlist), but it makes it a lot harder for me to find the playlists I actually want to add something to than before. With this new sorting I don't know where the playlist I'm looking for is at all, and have to scroll slowly through all the suggestions to find it. Before I had a rough idea about where it should be in the list and could scroll after this and move it manually, if I wanted it somewhere else. In stead the new sort becomes especially tedious when you have more than just a handful of playlists. My experience now is that I seem to get a new randomly sorted "Add to playlist" list every time I've added a song to a playlist, which is really frustrating - also when I just want to add the same song to two different playlists. Especially because I've ordered my playlists in "My Library" so they're easy for me to locate in relation to each other. Please change the sort to either: 1. be custom sorted like before, 2. sorted the same was as the "My Library" is set to be sorted (and add this algorithmic way as an sorting option for those it works for - this could be the new default, which I can then change) or - add the same search and sort ("Filters") option as revealed when pulling down in "My Library" so I can pick the way I find it easiest for me to find my playlist. Thank you. Please Kudo/like if you want this to. Attachments are: 1. a seemingly random sorting of my playlists in the "Add to playlist" menu. 2. My playlists as sorted by the default "Custom sort" in the "My Library" tab.

Recently Played is currently at the top of the mobile app but users cannot press and hold to delete items that show up there. PLEASE let us do this - I want to control the music I have in Recently Played. It's been annoying since the update in July. Thanks for the consideration.

ayyron · ‎2019-06-24

The new update is terrible. Problems: 1. The artist page is not in alphabetical order 2. Liked songs playlist holds only liked songs, not albums saved. It should be understood that if I save an album I like those songs. I do not need to go and like each song individually. 3. Recently played should be brought back 4. There is a lot of glitches with not downloading music I requested to download. 5. It is way too hard to find the music you just downloaded. Please return to the old version or find a way to fix these problems.

meriwetherj · ‎2019-06-18

I'm really surprised about the removal of the "recently played" feature. This was a huge part of how I use the mobile app, and a standout feature for Spotify. The update to the Your Library page has a number of problems, but the loss of the "recently played" list is close to a deal breaker. I'd love to move my entire family plan to an app that has a useful UI.

Bring back the 'Songs' tab which would contain all tracks saved to the library (not just Liked songs) - Bringing back the 'Songs' Tab will make it possible to shuffle play through all songs that have been saved to the library. - It will also make it easy to see all downloaded songs when in Offline mode. I enjoy an eclectic mix of music, and one of my favourite things to do pre-update was to go to the 'Songs' tab and select Shuffle play, and just randomly play through all the music saved to my library. Because it was just all songs, this would include songs from saved albums, songs saved into playlists etc. Another benefit was that in offline mode it meant I could easily see what downloaded songs I had available to play. Especially useful if I wanted to play music in the car but not use data. Unfortunately Spotify's new UI has removed this (very basic) feature, and attempted to replace it with a 'Liked Songs' playlist. My problem is that I don't usually 'like' a song to add it to my library. I either save a whole album, or I add an individual track to an existing playlist. It seems silly to me to have to add another step of 'liking' a song to this process, just so that it can be added to the 'Liked songs' playlist. I'm going to end up having to 'Like' every single song in my library- and what will be the point of that? I currently have a premium subscription, and I definitely find it frustrating to have the main way that I use Spotify now impossible! Hope others with a similar issue find this Idea helpful, cheers.

Let me say that I think much of the new UI update is fine, and includes some good ideas! Unlike other posts here, I’m not advocating Spotify just “go back” to the old UI. Allowing people to *filter* their artists into just those they follow is a great idea! Having just songs that are directly liked go into the liked songs playlist is a good idea! But those should be *separate* from the way you access the songs you save to your library. Almost everyone I know who uses Spotify used it the same way iTunes, iPods, google play, Apple Music, basically any digital form of listening to music has ever worked: you save songs or albums or part of an album to your music collection, and then you can access those same set of songs by the artists’ names, albums’ names, song titles etc. The new update ruined this experience for many, many users, and effectively destroyed my library as I had grown it. The goal of the new additions, in giving users new ways to group their music, is fine! Great even, but there was no need to take away other functionality. The old way and the new way didn’t have to be mutually exclusive. Saving a song could be differientiated from liking it! More options are better, removing functionality is bad. I have no problem with the aesthetic changes to the UI, or the other changes to the way certain functions have been regrouped. The podcast changes seem positive! I do miss the way recently played was previously listed vertically, but could live without that. But for the love of music, PLEASE re-integrate the library as it’s own saved collection you can access via artist name, song name, and album name, separate from liked songs or followed artists. Allowing these options to exist side by side would truly make spotify better than it has ever been.

Hi guys. I'm new to this. I've been using Spotify for a few years now and I've been in college for a few years too. Music is my life and Spotify has helped me through so much with my love for music. Recently, I received an email saying my discount will soon expire and cannot be renewed. I was extremely distraught. I'm in a medical program, so I'm going to be in school for a little while. I cannot afford $10 a month for music, and I do NOT want to go to Apple Music. I'm sure a variety of you are experiencing the same thing as me. I think Spotify should extend the discount for a few more years. I don't know what I'll do without my music and Spotify in general. Let me know if you all agree!

The easiest way to do this would be to bring back the 'Songs' tab which would contain all tracks saved to the library (not just Liked songs) - Bringing back the 'Songs' Tab will make it possible to shuffle play through all songs that have been saved to the library. - It will also make it easy to see all downloaded songs when in Offline mode. The liked songs playlist is inconvenient for two reasons - You have to like every song in your library to have it in the playlist, which then makes 'liking' a song redundant - You can't filter for downloaded songs only. I enjoy an eclectic mix of music, and one of my favourite things to do pre-update was to go to the 'Songs' tab and select Shuffle play, and just randomly play through all the music saved to my library. Because it was just all songs, this would include songs from saved albums, songs saved into playlists etc. Another benefit was that in offline mode it meant I could easily see what downloaded songs I had available to play. Especially useful if I wanted to play music in the car but not use data. Unfortunately Spotify's new setup has removed this (very basic) feature, and attempted to replace it with a 'Liked Songs' playlist.

It seems silly to me to have to add another step of 'liking' a song to this process, just so that it can be added to the 'Liked songs' playlist. I'm going to end up having to 'Like' every single song in my library. Hope others with a similar issue find this Idea helpful, cheers.

As a Spotify member since beta and a Premium member for who knows how long, I'd like to see a change to Favorited Songs from Radio that was recently changed for the new update. Problems with Update: I favorite a lot of songs on radio/stations and usually don't immediately remember the name of the band or song. But, I almost ALWAYS remember the album cover. So when I want to return back to that song I saved and check out the album/artist, I know I can go to my Saved Albums and sort by recently added to find what I need. The recent update really hinders this, as throwing them all in a playlist will almost make favoriting songs a hassle, as you would have to scroll through text and text to find what you are looking for. Not to mention, this is a step backwards, as this is how Saving songs from radio used to work years ago. To fix this issue, I am presenting a few options to make me and probably some other Spotify users happy! 1. Moved Saved Songs back to Saved Albums - This is probably the easiest solution, and I honestly do not know why it got removed in the first place. 2. Make it a Setting Users can opt in/out of - If someone really doesn't want favorited songs saved as an album, why not make this an option instead of forcing it on everyone? 3. If You Don't Change it Back, Add Album Covers to the left of the song on the playlist - This way, you get your way, but also users do not lose the visual reference to a song they saved. Additional Feedback: So, right now, if I favorite a song from a station, it doesn't get saved as an album, it only lives in a playlist, right? But if I favorite a whole album, I saved the album, and then all the songs get added into the playlist anyway? What's the difference? I can live with the Recently Added being removed (not really, but I could adjust), but in my opinion, removing Favorited Songs from the Saved Albums Library literally erases years of history from my own account and will change how I favorite and listen to songs moving forward. Please reconsider this recent update. thanks, rccx
