I guess you had a good reason for removing a favorite feature such as Running. I am sure you already know that many people like me, cancel their subscription and you still think it will be more cost-effective if you remove the feature. So I am not going to push you for bringing it back. However, I don't understand why you don't make all of those playlists available now. If you don't want to maintain the bpm detector feature, still you can publish all of those playlists based on their bpm. For instance the playlist for Hard Rock, bpm 160. Or Heavy Metal bpm 165. At least people like me who know their desired bmp can use your service and stay a paying customer.  ... View more

You open the app, and play some music. Eventually your phone will lock. You press pause from the lock screen. A few moments later you press play from the lock screen and nothing plays. Unlock phone and open Spotify app and entire app is frozen. Have to close out of app and reopen to get it to work. Rinse and repeat.  ... View more

As a premium user, I'm concerned that spotify should have a 64-bit application for windows because my spotify is constantly crashing, laggy, and most of the time, it freezes. Pretty annoying. Also, I have a HUGE music library at spotify. Needed it in order to work fully well with my PC running Windows 10 Pro 64-bit. ... View more

Hi,   I've set both the autostart in minimized mode and the minimize to tray options, but upon autostart the window is not only on the systemtray, but also on the taskbar. It would be nice if Spotify would be able to start only on the system tray (with a separate option, or when both of this settings is turned on).   Best regards, Balazs ... View more

Add an option in the settings that allows all song to display full cover art upon viewing current song being played. Example in attachment. Could be for people with or without a subscription. I personally like this look over the regular version. ... View more

Now that the Apple Watch 2 can be used for running without the iPhone, you should definetely create the spotify app for the Apple Watch. Otherwise you will lose a lot of customers (including me) that will switch to Apple Music in order to be able to run and listen to their music without carrying the iPhone. ... View more

I'm not sure why you removed the ability to adjust the tempo for running playlists. I'm sure I'm not the only one that used this feature regularly. Especially the "Recommended for You" running tempo playlist. Here I was able to find new songs that were PERFECT for my growing running playlist   I'm incredibly disappointed, not only for my own enjoyment of this app but since I have used this playlist to recruit other people to subscribe to Spotify, I just convinced people to sign up for a feature that is no longer available! PLEASE bring this back! ... View more

Seriously! I need it to run! My run just sucked crusty toe nails with out it. I mean you take away the one thing that makes Spotify unique and replace it with a random tempo “running” playlist category in workout? Has anyone who made this decision ever tried to run like that before? Get bent, Spotify!  ... View more

Hi there! :)   Keep up with Spotify   Imagine that you want to go out for a run and you have an awesome playlist with your favourite running tracks. Do you think that music alone is enough to motivate you to reach your limits and get the most out of your run?   I would like to introduce a concept to you I've had on my mind for a long time. I always thought that it sounded more like a gimmick rather than a useful feature, but the more I thought about it the more it made sense. Being a digital designer, I took the liberty to draw a few quick sketches on Spotify’s mobile interface.     It works quite simple: All you have to do is set the minimum running speed using the slider. If your running speed goes below the specified minimum the music will gradually start sounding as if it is in slow motion with low pitch which serves as a signal that you need to hurry up if you want to hear the song the way it’s meant to be heard.   If you swipe up you will go to a performance review. This is where you can see a timeline with all the tracks during your last run. The white line represent the chosen minimum run speed (15 km/h in this case). It is surrounded by green waves which indicate your speed (and motivation?) derived from a particular song during your run thus letting you judge whether to keep it or remove it. To access this function, all the user has to do is tap on the “Keep Up” button just below the player controls.       Thank you for your time :) /Alex ... View more

Love the Mighty Spotify Player. Finally it's possible to have a ultra portable device to use with Spotify. I rather not listen to music then to bring a heavy phone with me. The Mighty is basically a iPod Shuffle, but it lack one crucial feature. The shuffle part! Please impliment this feature soon. As a shuffle listening kinda guy I really don't want to know what song comes next when I'm out running. Please impliment the shuffle sooner rather then later. I know it's Spotify that needs do handle this part, so don't kill a perfect device by not supporting it. ... View more

Currently, the recommended playlists that come with the running feature are great because you get to pick playlists of songs in your genre. The 'recommended for you' playlist is my favorite since it really picks out songs that appeal to my taste for me to run to. I've even used it as a source of new songs at times. The only real problem I have with the playlists is that they get repetitive. I run pretty regularly as do a lot of other people, and due to the playlist not self refreshing or updating with new songs after a clearly stated amount of time, or a clear way to influence or refresh the songs selected myself, after a while, I only end up hearing the same songs over and over again. The only way to hear a different set of songs within a playlist right now is to change the bpm and run at a different pace, but even if you do that, you can run into the same problem. I recommend an auto refresh setting that changes the songs after a set amount of time similar to that of the 'discover weekly' playlist, although it doesn't have to be weekly. I also recommend a manual refresh button for individual playlists. If either of those features aren't possible, at the very least giving a clear statement of how to influence the 'recommended for you' playlist and how long it takes for the playlists to refresh would help. ...

So I used Spotify Running for the first time last night and when I slowed down, I noticed that the song was still going fast to the initial tempo it detected.   According to the help article, you have to manually take out your phone, turn on the screen, and then adjust the tempo yourself in the Spotify app. This is kinda lame because what's the point if you have to stop your run, reach into your pocket, take out your phone, and adjust the tempo.  https://support.spotify.com/learn-more/guides/#!/article/running   Please make it so the tempo is automatically detected and changed when speeding up and slowing down. Especially when you can no longer run and you need to cool down by walking for a little bit. And if you want to speed up all of a sudden, the tempo is still on the initially set tempo.   Is this possible or is this a battery life sucker? ... View more

So the running element is really good, prefect for running or jump rope. However, the recommended playlists (especially recommended for you) needs refreshing regularly. As someone who regularly runs/uses a jump rope the content isn't fresh enough and I end up listening to the same songs over and over again. It should either fresh automatically after you listen or I should have a refresh button to switch up the tracks at the same tempo. Not sure I can run any faster than I am now and that seems to be the only way to change the tracks I'm listening to so its something different. ... View more

How may people run with Spotify? A lot! Now imagine that your body can become an engine for your player. Simple example, when I want to go out and run I usually use some activity tracker to measure my performance and Spotify for music. Then after every 1km music gets interrupted with my current tempo or whatever information is set in activity tracker. What if I could set in Spotify the range for my average tempo let's say 10-12 km/h in which music plays at 100% speed. When I slow down and go below 10km/h music slows down as well. That's how I know to speed up and keep my pace. It seems super cool to speed up and music speeds up to it's regular tempo. Similar situation when you run to fast. SO it would be you who adjust music. Spotify would measure your running speed via GPS, additional setting for speed range would be necessary and that's it. I would definitely like to try this type of motivation.     Thanks, emil ...

Spotify should create voice prompts tell you when to run or when to walk that can be added to C25K playlists. That way users can create their own playlists but have the audio voice to keep them on track. ... View more

Love the new Running feature, and I'm sure it will only grow and get better over time. I prefer using the Recommended For You playlist, as it seems to dip into my library to find songs. My problem is that it always seems to find the same songs over and over, and often even plays them in the same order or very close to the same order as the last run. I'd say each day when I start a new run and fire up the Running feature, I'll hear the same 10 songs I heard the day before right off the bat. And I don't think it's a problem with my library not having enough songs that match my tempo; I currently have just under 8k tracks saved! Even if I skip ahead manually (which is hard when you are running!), it's just all the same songs and I get tired of hitting the skip/next button.   We need the option to shuffle the playlist so I might get some tracks that are "further in" or deeper down into the playlist.   Since this is a new feature, you guys might be already planning stuff like this but I thought it couldn't hurt to formally request it. Thanks! ... View more

In the Running feature, I would love to see a "cool down" function for when I'm finished running and want to set a new slower tempo (e.g. 70-100 bpm range) with a simple tap, for walking and/or winding down. It seems there is no manual way to set tempo lower than 140 bpm, and when I exit and restart the Running feature, it seems unable to detect my walking tempo (it never sets a tempo, just stays in the detecting mode). Requires detecting a slower walking tempo, and a button to launch into Walk mode. Also can be used for Couch25k-style training that alternates between Run & Walk modes. ... View more

Disappointingly, Spotify has decided  retiring Running   Feature   and replacing it with Running playlists under Workou t Feature.   But, please, consider making some improvements as currently they are not pleasing to use. 1) Lack of 165-170BPM Playlists It is confusing to find so many lists are either below 165BPM or above 170BPM, but nothing in-between - I believe the mid-range paces should be most frequently used by most users (for me at least). 2) Wrongly-ordered Playlists The playlists are randomly ordered so it was difficult to change to a desirable-paced playlist, particularly when you are on a run. (It was so easy to change the pace in Running Feature by just one click on the screen!) Please consider ordering them in accordance with their BPMs.   Sincerely hope runners can enjoy Spotify more! Please consider making some improvement!   Thanks! ... View more
