Hi there, as I told in the headline I would like to suggest to make the Genderstar an optional thing. Since I'm cursed with not being able to read properly and have to have my mobile phone read things out loud it really makes it hard to understand anything. That kind of speech is making my daily life hard and I unsubscribed Spotify until that changes, because it's not usable or enjoyable anymore. That is not barrier free. It creates even more barriers, especially for handicapped people like me. I'm asking for a normal German language setting/option instead of this ideology, which only 18% of the German population wants. Thank you very much!

Since it seems like Spotify have DELETED my previous post, as a longtime user of over 10 years, don't worry Spotify, I will just post it again and again and again until you leave it up 🙂 Let me put it down simple for you - you don't have weekly (or even DAILY) charts for all countries. You had NO PROBLEM doing it for South Korea in less than 2 months of your launch there. Stop being r-word to other countries (like it is pretty obvious when it's mostly African countries that doesn't have charts but also a bunnnnch of countries) and just beeeeeping release them. For example, you launched in Cyprus in 2013. Still no daily chart. Embassing. I am sure that all you need to do is press a button. Weekly albums, songs, viral, artists. Daily songs, artists, viral. Like NIKE says: Just Do It 🙂

Spotify said they would bring Hi-Fi to its platform in 2021, yet here we are in 2022, and there is still no sign. Bringing these three features (for no extra cost) would make Spotify feel more modern and competitive against other platforms that are increasingly adding the same features.

Can spotify have the option to create a mini player for smaller view and show lyrics? All pictures and videos are example of mini player. Picture 1 and video 1 are taken from the same place. Picture 1 is when the lyrics bar is closed while video 1 is when the lyrics bar is open. The lyrics will be moving from left to right as the song is played and the lyrics being played will be in black while the rest of the lyrics is in grey. I want spotify to have this function. Picture 3 is from another place. Picture 3 is with the playing next and history button. I wish spotify can have the mini player with the lyrics like video 1 and have a play next and history view at the mini player too.

I’m tired of having to unlock my phone and go directly in the spotify app to heart songs. It should be listed near the pausing and playing buttons to provide a quick and efficient way of liking songs.

Stop with the pop-up ads (or alerts or whatever you want to call them). I turned off alerts and pay for ad free membership (for my whole household in fact), so why do I keep seeing pop ups about shows, albums, etc.? I am sick of it! They aren't even for artists I follow, so what gives?! I have turned off all the alerts I can find in the settings. What do I have to do to get an actually ad free membership?! When I wrote in for support last year I was basically told these pop-ups aren't ads (even though they clearly fit the definition), but given no way to turn them off. I have tried to ignore them, but they are becoming more and more frequent. I hate it! Give me a way to turn these off!

First and foremost, there should be a way to save multiple custom EQ presets. Everyone likes to customize the EQ settings based on the music they like and what kind of playback device is being used, so being able to save different custom ones should be an option. To piggyback off of that, I'm not sure if this is possible but it would be awesome if Spotify was automatically able to change the EQ preset depending on what playback device is being used. For example, if I am using my AirPods, it would be sweet if Spotify recognized that and automatically switched to a custom EQ just for my AirPods. Again not sure if this is possible, but I think it would be helpful for a lot of people.

I would really love it if you added the ability to add custom Spotify presets. I use different custom equalizers for different speakers/headphones and it always gets frustrating having to change it every time.

The collaboration with Musicmatch really pleased me. The lyric view and tracking feature helped me understand the lyrics of English songs. However, unfortunately, there are no lyrics for many of the songs yet. Also, in some songs, the lyrics do not match the song completely or in fragments. For example, Hymn to Red October (Main theme), author Basil Poledouris has lyrics, but written in Russian transliteration into English, although the song is in Russian and therefore should (for Russian users) be in Russian. I also encountered the fact that the text did not match the timecode or was not configured at all. Therefore, I propose to add the ability to edit, customize and add text by users( like one feature). For example, compare the text of many users and set an average value or add the ability to evaluate the quality of the text and, when the threshold of 10,000 or more likes is passed, send it to the editor for approval. Thank you for your understanding and I wish you success in the development of the company!

Hi Spotify, I think it would be really neat to connect Fitbit and Spotify. That way, when I am listening to an audiobook, or anything, on Spotify as I'm going to sleep, there will be a note of where I was in my audiobook when I fell asleep. I know Fitbit doesn't track sleep under an hour but it will tell you what time you went to sleep once you sleep for more than an hour. So while it would be most ideal for the audiobook/music to stop playing as soon you fall asleep, the way that Fitbit works, the next best thing would be to note what time in a track I was in so I don't have to search what I last remember hearing of the story. Also if I could look at my Fitbit to see what song is playing that would be cool.

I use spotfy on Google TV that runs on Android 10. What I sometimes miss is canvas on the TV screen that I now have on my android mobile. Add canvas as default to Google TV (Android TV) for more background animation.

Recently, Spotify (at least in my iOS app) has added a very helpful feature which is lyrics. It finally collaborated with Musixmatch (thanks God why haven't you done this sooner). Problem is, I am an Indonesian listener who is familiar with Latin alphabet. I loved many Asian songs, which we know, are not written in language using those Latin alphabets, namely K-Pop, J-Pop, or you name it. Those songs' lyrics are still shown in their original alphabet (K-Pop in hangeul, J-Pop in kanji and hiragana, etc). Usually, foreign listeners are able to sing-a-long by looking at the romanization version. Now I know that Musixmatch indeed does not have that romanization lyrics, but Genius does and I know Spotify has partnership too with Genius, I guess? So, why not give a choice for listeners to choose between Genius or Musixmatch? TL;DR: 1. We want romanized lyrics to Asian songs or any songs not using Latin alphabet 2. Give options for Spotify listeners to choose which version to show 3. If Spotify can no longer show Genius' service, push Musixmatch so that they make romanized lyrics available. Sincerely, Global Spotify member.

Many people struggle with recovery from alcoholism and/or smoking. Constantly hearing ads about said topics can be physiologically triggering to those recovering or sober. Allowing an option to disable these types of ads would be beneficial to those who struggle with addiction, have trauma related to alcohol, and minors.

Hello Team, as i wrote in the subject, i would like to request you to create a second kind of german language setting, one "traditional german" option and one "gender sensitve" option for those who like this more than the traditional german. For me i have to say that the gender sensitive variant of the german language is really hard to read and gives with every star within the words an opstacle. Thanks in advance and best regards Thomas

I would love to see a toggle feature to have light mode/dark mode and the ability to have it automatically change with iOS auto dark mode/light mode. Almost all of my other apps change with whatever mode my phone and computer is in, so it would be cool to add Spotify to that list!

Hi. I’m a NYC public school teacher. I love playing Spotify in the classroom for my special needs students. Is there any way to get a teacher discount on a subscription? 9.99 is a bit pricey every month

Hi. I'd really, really really like you to implement a full screen album art view for the Android Automotive App. Today you give us a small stamp in the middle of lots of controls. It would be awesome to have the album art fill the screen after a certain amount of time, hiding everything else and then make it re-appear upon first tap on the screen.

I would like the option to permanently dislike a featured artist like on mobile that I can choose for "Don't play this artist" e.g for several weeks now various artists and gamechops have appeared in my release calendar. I have absolutely no interest in this band But I dont have the option to remove the featured artist, which just means the following week a new artist pop ups with gamechops as featured and I have no way to prevent this. I have event tried blocking gamechops on android but makes no difference

SickOfNoPrivacConcer · ‎2021-11-09

Abiltity to hide your followers and who you are following. An on/off toggle. There's many people, like me, who wants to be able to share their spotify playlists or use the listen together feature with our online friends, and we just cant do that because we would doxx ourselves.. I know this has been suggested multiple times over the years, and you keep dismissing it. You probably used more time and money to dismiss this, than it would take to implement this. Privacy is important. This should be a no-brainer. After using spotify for 10 years, and never looking back, i'm starting to think i have to move on tosomeone who takes privacy seriously..

My listening during working hours versus on my own time are very different and I've noticed that when the 'wrap ups' or any fun data component comes out of Spotify, it is overwhelmingly dominated by the (relatively small set) of music I listen to as background music for work. It would be awesome to have the option for different 'profiles' associated with my user - one for work and one for personal listening. This way, I could switch between and each profile itself would be further refined and customized based on those listening patterns which differ quite a bit. I don't need my 'Discover Weekly' to be all lofi background music just because that's the only thing I can listen to without distraction at work. It would be great if at the year wrap up, there were interesting insights from my personal listening - not an overwhelming domination from one album I play on loop for work. Idea: Spotify allow users to have two user profiles that they can identify however they like, and these profiles would have the same spotify features of discover, etc, that operate independently of each other.
