Since deleting my facebook, no one has been able to search for me unless they have my user ID. I can search for anyone, even people that don't have facebook or that I'm not friends with. However, accidentally, I reactivated my facebook the other day, but my friends (who ARE friends with me on fb) still can't find me on spotify?   Why can't spotify make it so that literally anyone can search for your name, whether they have fb or not, whether they're your friend or not, and whether or not your spotify is linked to fb. I'd like for people to be able to search for me if they want to, not having to go ask for my user ID, in which no one would remember, let alone myself lol!   ... View more

I only found out today that it's possible to search Spotify according to record label, using this sort of search term:   label:"rough trade"   It would be amazing if you could do the same for writers and producers, like this:   writer:"justin tranter"   Or this:   producer:"stuart price"   Here are four reasons this would be good.   1. For casual Spotify users it might help with discovery of new (and old) music.   2. For more advanced Spotify users it would help compile great playlists.   3. For writers and producers, they'd know their work was being recognised and valued.   4. For Spotify, point 3 might slightly reduce the number of writers and producers moaning about streaming, and would show that the service values everyone in the creative process. So at the very least it would be good PR.   (I'd also like to be able to find out writers and producers by right-clicking on a song - it'd be incredible if there was a 'Go to writer' or 'Go to producer' along with 'Go to artist' and 'Go to album'.)   I'm posting this here because I asked @SpotifyCares on Twitter and they said I should.   THANKS! ...

It's time for Spotify to add some new search filtering of it's music catalog.  It would be great to search new & old music by album type: full or single.  It can be quite annoying to start listening to some new music only to realize that you have selected a single of which plays over and over again.    I believe that Spotify should A/B test this functionality to see if their customer base wishes to use search and use their database more efficiently.   Again, all we are asking is for a better way to filter Albums from Singles.   No doubt Spotify was built on risk taking, so what do they have to lose?  Just test it and I'm sure the data will support it.   ** Please note this Idea has a short shelf life.  If it does not get enough  Upvotes, Spotify will close the Idea.  Please UPVOTE to make this change a reality  ...

Would love a way to search Artists/Songs within a playlist. As of now the search engine defaults to the entire Spotify library.  ... View more

It would be dope af if we were able to see the first time we listened to a song. Like a mini statistic that we can easily access which showed the time and date of the exact moment we clicked on a song. Make it happen ❤️   ... View more

Everyone has been, at some other time, with that catchy song stuck in your head for days.  Wouldn't it be awesome to have a Lyric Search Engine that could directly find the song with just those few words you remember ? And the best of all: AN OPTION TO FILTER AND TO LOOK FOR 'THAT' SONG -ONLY- WITHIN YOUR LIBRARY OR IN A SPECIFIC PLAYLIST. That option will enable you to get straightforward the song you've been singing for days right away in just a few seconds. And the best is that, if you only search within your playlist those words, you'll get rid of the rest of the songs you know you don't want. It'll be something like: making easier to  look for that needle in the haystack. When Spotify had the collaboration with  Musixmatch there was a similar option to do it but the database was huge, by reducing it only to your songs it'll facilitate the processing and will optimize the results. ...

Please let us copy text on spotify app on computer. I want to know when some of the componist, conductors, etc. lived and in which period. This is not written in the biography about the person.  I would be glad if we could either copy text so I could check which music period the artist lived in  (i.e. when they were born and when they died) on Google or that this could be added in the bio. of that person. Personally, I believe it would be better to make a function where you can copy text from the app. This is possible via the spotify webplayer on firefox, but not in the app itself.   This may be a good improvement that will help me and others in need. 😉   Sincerely A spotify freak, Musiclicker94 ...

Spotify could give users the ability to add tags to songs in their library. This will make it much easier to quickly make make custom playlists from a variety of user created tags. It will also make "adding a song" to a playlist more efficient by adding several tags at once, rather than having to add that song to multiple playlists, again and again. Thx ... View more

Imagine a feature like "Shazam" in the Spotify app and having the option to also add it straight into your playlist or find a playlist with that song in it. You could discover so much more music and no other music streaming service has done this yet.       ... View more

We often hum a song that gets stuck in our heads, sometimes knowing only the chorus, to find this song, we need to google that sentence from the chorus and try to identify the song, then search for the specific song in spotify - why not have lyrics for every song and expose that lyrics string to the search functionality? so that you can find song by typing a sentence in the search box in Spotify? ...

Few filter options I would like too see when using desktop:   - Search results: show results only from verified profiles - there is a lot of noise because all of the clout chasers making it harder to finder original content and support the creators - When I browse certain user's playlist I would like the option to sort them, for example to see the latest playlist first ...

Spotify implement some good ideas, but what they did now is completely outrageous. How about bringing back to the DESKTOP APP some obvious features all users need? 1) order your playlist alphabetically by song name, album, artist, or date you added a song. You took that down and simply put IT'S ABSURD; 2) and how about bringing back the possibility of deleting more than one song at a time from a playlist. This feature existed, but you took down, which is ALSO ABSURD; 3) this one is really great: how about if users could actually search for a song inside their own playlists? It would be great if this feature came back, because you took it down - AND MAYBE, JUST MAYBE, THIS COULD BE THE MOST ABSURD OF ALL YOU'VE TAKEN DOWN; 4) how nice it would be if users could follow what their friends are listening to? you also took that down; 5) what if users could change the cover image of their playlists? once it was possible, now it's just a memory; 6) another great idea: users who mispelled some word on their playlist details (name or description) could easily change them. What you think?; 7) and what if we users could see how many users liked our playlists and who are these users? I'm aware these are not new ideas, but they're really good features we could have on the Windows 10 Desktop app. ----- alphabetical sort, deleting more than one song, song search inside a playlist, follow what friends are listening to, changing cover image of playlists, changing name and description of playlists, enable seeing who liked a playlist ...

Hi,   It would be great to be able to search/discover new stuff by the language in the search engine .Like songs sung in Spanish / French ... It's not because we don't speak the language or understand the lyrics we can't enjoy the beat or the melody.   None of other streaming services do this, make the difference. ... View more

How about if we were to hold down the 'previous' button, it would rewind the current track and holding down the 'next' button fast forwards the current track? I listen to some pretty long songs and if there's a good 10 seconds I want to hear again,  this would be a very handy feature.  ... View more

I think adding the ability to rate albums out of  5 stars would make an excellent addtion to Spotify service.   Everyone loves rating things – and viewing their ratings retrospectively (remember LoveFilm??) ) it's super fun and interactive, plus encourages users to play whole albums / spend more time on your platform.   It would also allow users to see the most popular albums/discography based on peoples choices – perhaps be able to order discography by ratings too.   For example, I'm new to the Beatles and straight up I can see their most played tracks, which is great. But albums, as bodies of work, are just as important to me. And I want to know which is (considered to be) the best Beatles album.   As a newcomer to their music I can see that Sgt. Peppers has 5 stars based 500,000 ratings, and Abbey Road has 4 stars, or whatever.   Of course, there is no correct answer, but everyone has a favourite and everyone loves to add their opinion to the debate. This for me is an emotive issue as to whether one agrees or not, but you have your vote are inclined to join the discussion by simply adding a rating (no actual discussion, just the ability to assign 1-5 stars). Simplez!   Thanks!         ... View more

As Spotify is based on a huge database of meta data for all songs in its library, I'm wondering why there is no easy possibility to filter current views using an extended filter query language. In particular I'm thinking about filtering inside playlists (especially collaborative ones) by the user who added a song / the genre / the mood  / you name it. Sometimes I just want to listen to the songs I personally added to the collaborative playlist called "Work" which I share with my colleagues at work.   It could be kind of an expert feature only available after enabling it in the advanced configs to not confuse simple users.   Technically I think about something similar like JQL for Jira. It should not cost too much effort for the implementation but it would help to solve a lot of single requests I could find during my search inside the community. Some users want to filter for genres, some want to to have extended filters in the mobile applications and so on.   At the end I guess it all comes down to a single location in the sourcecode which provides this feature + placing it in all views where it makes sense.   ******************************************************************************** [UPDATE]   When I was driving to work this morning I thought again about my idea and came up with some additional features based on my initial thoughts of applying queries on playlists.   Let's assume you managed to implement the extended query functionality inside playlists. If you ask me I would like to have the possibility to easily store this filter by pressing a button next to it the textual input for my filter. As a result, I would see some child entries under my playlist in the left navigation panel - one per persisted filter.  Going one step further, you could then right-click this stored filter and select "Create new playlist". The result is a new, dedicated playlist made out of the current query result applied on the parent playlist. And finally, when you think about this, then why not definining a new type of playlists directly? I think about a "view-based" playlist, which is actually defined by a query rather then by adding songs manually. Those view-based playlist would increase the flexibility for people to create and maintain playlists. You would not be able to modify the playlist manually as it is a dynamic view. However you can convert a view-based playlist into a dedicated playlist at any time.   User Story 1: As a spotify user I want to share a collaborative playlist with all my colleagues at work. For sure they all have a different taste in music and sometime I'd like to listen to a particular genre of songs from this playlist based on my personal mood. Therefore, I want to filter my playlist using a flexible query language in which I can use "genre", "reporter", "mood" and basically every other meta attribute stored in spotify database as filter criteria. User Story 2: Some of the queries I have defined when filtering my company playlist are so **bleep** good that I'd like to store those filters in order to apply the same queries next time. Thus, I would like to store my playlist filters as navigation items below the playlist itself.   User Story 3: As a spotify user having stored filters inside one of my playlists I'd like to extract the query result from one of those filters and use it as a new, dedicated playlist which I can maintain indepdently from the parent playlist. Therefore, I would like to have a possibility in the UI to easily create a new, dedicated playlist out of the stored filter definition.   User Story 4: Me and my colleague John Doe have pretty much the same taste in music and want to share a playlist with only the songs of the company playlist that we have added. We both collaborate in the company playlist and don't want to maintain 2 collaborative playlists. Therefore, we want to use a view-based playlist which is just a new playlist based on a query applied on the company playlist. This allows to us continue collaborating in the company playlist while we could have a playlist containing only songs from this company playlist added by either me or John.    *** I will try to come up with some UI mock-ups over Christmas.             ...
