Or at least give us a good reason for retiring it! It's my number one go to.

It would be great to see a visualiser on screen which reacts in time to the music similar to media players such as WinAmp or iTunes. It would be much more entertaining than having the static album artwork when music is being played.

Now that windows on arm devices are out in the wild I'd like to see a Spotify windows app compiled for ARM64. This would drastically increase battery life for these devices and Microsoft let's you port exisitng code to arm64 as well. You could also take advantage of other features such as LTE connectivity and instant on for these devices.

The Spotify app doesn't support 144Hz monitors. It is anoying when you open spotify your cursor goes to 60Hz. It goes from smooth to choppy, this makes the app unpollished. I guess this isn't that hard to fix. Because the app doesn't use that much GPU power to run. The GIF file below can give an example. There are even monitors that can putout an 240hz refresh rate. Cheers.

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?

On the Now Playing screen, the Add to Liked Songs button is very buggy in Apple Carplay while it works great for the Web player, ios app and Apple Watch app. The Web player, ios app and Apple Watch app show a White outlined Heart icon for any song which is being played in the Now Playing screen: Song not yet added in Liked Songs playlist - Web Player Clicking on this icon puts the song in my Liked Songs playlist and the icon becomes green filled Heart icon: Song added in Liked Songs playlist - Web player Clicking on the same icon again removes the song from my Liked Songs playlist and the icon color again becomes outlined white heart icon. The same behavior is mirrored by the ios app: ios App Screenshot and the Apple Watch app: Apple Watch screenshot Now the bummer comes in Apple Carplay where instead of showing a Heart icon, a plus icon is shown: Apple Carplay screenshot Now, this plus icon behaves in the way that clicking on this plus icon adds the song to the Liked Songs playlist and this icon is hidden. There is no way to remove this song from Liked Songs playlist from Apple Carplay. This plus icon also behaves erratically where tapping the heart icon in Apple Watch for the current song adds the song to the Liked Songs playlist but doesn't remove this icon from the Now Playing screen for the current song. The idea is to make the behaviour consistent for Apple car play with Apple Watch, ios app and web player. There should be a heart icon in Apple Carplay Now Playing screen and it should behave exactly like others.

I'd like to have strava and spotify to work together. Not only could the two apps integrate to avoid the need to flip back and forth, but music is a huge part of many runners' workouts and spotify could be supplying strava with the track list data during workouts both for user's visibility but also for more enhanced features. For example, tracking the songs during peoples' workouts and correlating their beats per minute/genre/etc with the workout data, machine learning could figure out what songs people run/workout better to and build playlists of those songs. Good fodder for song suggestions as well.

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.

koniosis · ‎2016-09-18

Simple, I listen to Spotify when I go running and use Strava to record the run on my iPhone. I'd like to log the songs and playlists I listened to during my run as part of my Strava activity log. I'd assume for this to work seamlessly it would require collaboration between Spotify and Strava; but a lo-fi solution could be a way to easily copy to clipboard as text the track list just played (or last X minutes?) from Spotify so I could paste the list into the Strava description field.

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.

I love listening to podcasts either shows that I follow or to learn languages. The only thing is that I would like to play music in the background. Could there be an implementation to play a playlist or something like that at the same time than a podcast and to be able to control the volume of it? Maybe just play/pause and previous/next controls with the volume adjustments in the bottom of the screen?

CaptainChaos74 · ‎2018-11-23

I find it extremely annoying that Spotify will automatically resume the current/last song whenever I open the app. It is especially annoying when I pause the current track from the lock screen on iOS but then if Spotify is currently open behind the lockscreen, it will then automically start playing again, even though I just paused it on the lockscreen. Sure, some people might enjoy the "auto-resume" feature, but I never recall seing this behavior in the past and prefer it that way. So, please include an option to disable this. Thank you!! Greg

Hi, I would like to hear some of my playlists while in the background I would like to appreciate the sound of rain. I believe a few other people would like this possibility too, maybe they want to combine two songs at time just for fun or for the same reason as mine. Thank you.

Recently I chose to run with Spotify Running on my mobile device and loved the experience. I now do this regularly, but one thing has always bugged me. I'm a writer, and whenever I run to Running, and the original playlists, ideas fly at me from every direction. This is great, but I write on my desktop, and listen to instrumental playlists while doing so. Spotify Running's original playlists should be able to be listened to on desktop, because they are great playlists.

IntoCircles · ‎2015-07-24

I was using Spotify Running the other day using the "Electronic Moves" running playlist when a great song came along. I grabbed my phone while running and tried to save the song to 'Your Music' but I was unable to do so.

ethhanners · ‎2015-12-28

I HAVE ued the mood station for running many times and like how you can set the music to your pace etc. What I would like to see is something similar for cycling. This way you could set for your cadence and have the music at a similar tempo. This would be great for training indoors and indoor spinning.

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!

WHEN YOU LISTEN TO SPOTIFY ON YOUR BIKE OR WHEN RUNNING/WALKING, MILLIONS OF USERS EXPERIENCE THAT THE MUSIC SKIPS "INVOLUNTARILY" TO A NEW TRACK ALL THE TIME : YOU START A TRACK - 10 SECONDS AFTER, A NEW TRACK STARTS, THEN IT HAPPENS AGAIN, BECAUSE THE SMARTPHONE IS "SENSITIVE". THUS: THE SPOTIFY USER EXPERIENCE IN PRACTICE IS DAILY THAT YOU DON´T GET TO HEAR YOUR TRACK TO THE END. THIS IS VERY ANNOYING - AND A KEY PROBLEM WITH SPOTIFY SMARTPHONE USE. THE SOLUTION IS: ADD THIS POSSIBILITY IN PREFERENCES IN THE APP: "Always play tracks to the end before a new track can be chosen". THEN USERS WHO EXPERIENCE THE ABOVE PROBLEM, CAN "CHECK" THIS, SO THAT A SONG ALWAYS WILL PLAY TO THE END. IN THIS WAY, SPOTIFY "SOLVES THE PROBLEM" WITH SENSITIVE SMARTPHONES. MANY USERS WANT TO CHOOSE A NEW TRACK, BEFORE AT TRACK IS FINISHED (THEY CAN LEAVE IT UN-CHECKED). THE MILLIONS OF USERS WHO EXPERIENCE THE SKIPPING PROBLEM, NEED A SOLUTION. I hope Spotify will implement this feature 🙂 Thank you very much in advance ! All the best, Claus Holm Denmark

It'd be very good to be there an "next episode behavior" option which tells the player what will be played next after the current episode is finished. I see that there isn't a unified behavior in podcasts between desktop and mobile. When an episode is finishes, desktop player plays the next episode (next line in the list) in sorted episodes list, but the mobile player plays the first unplayed one which is in the top of the list. It'd be good to be an option for this behavior which includes "play the next unplayed episode", "play the previous unplayed episode", "play the latest unplayed episode" etc. It's quite annoying especially when listening on mobile, which is impossible to proceed in time backward. It always plays the latest episode next. I should be able to choose rather listen the episode 99th or the episode 101st, after listening 100th episode.
