They post this:    We've made sure that this change did not lead to an increase in the number of actions a user makes when searching as previously a click was needed to activate the search bar.   Except its literally a lie. Now instead of directly typing into a search bar at the top, you have to physically Click on Search first, then navigate to the bar.    Then they have the gall to say oh just click ctrl+l , as if that isnt two more things to do to search.    This UI is so bad that I literally have to waste time looking up this stupid website to make a stupid post because you broke something that was working.  ...

Guys, I don't know who lied to you and told you this was a good idea, but for the love of everything that is sacred, please bring the search bar back as it was.   It allowed me to search for other things without leaving whatever album or playlist I was listening to or had opened. It allowed me to leave search terms there to remember myself to search for it at the end of the thing I'm listening to. It allowed me to scroll through the home page and search at the same time.   Please, please, please bring it back ;_; (or at least give us the option in the settings to choose to have it) ...

Allow users to search for an epidose within a specific podcast show only, similar to searching for a song within a playlist.  ... View more

In a recent update the search bar became hidden under a subpage (in the list to the left), instead of having it directly on the main page. This is objectively worse UX as it increases the amount of clicks required to reach search, seemingly only in favor of increasing ad space on the main page.  ... View more

The Search bar was recently shifted to the scroll menu on the side (Windows Desktop Client), however, I cannot see why.   The Search bar is such an essential feature, which needs quick access at any time. With its new position, I have to click the scroll menu on the side first in order to scroll right to the top, just to click the extra Search option. When I for example create a new playlist and browse through the artists´ pages to find the fitting songs, I can not simply drag and drop the song without scrolling down the long list until i reach my playlist. Then I have to scroll all the way up again to enter a new artist into the Search bar. This just seems unnecessarily complicated and counterintuitive. It´s not that the space was filled with something more important anyway (not that there are much more important things than the essential Search feature)... it´s just a blank space now.   I would really appreciate it if you moved the Search bar back to its previous position at the top of the main section, no matter whether it was a band page, playlist or anything else. It could still unfold into its extra screen (like it does now) when clicking it but the position has to be easily accessible at any time. ... View more

Spotify's AI is obviously not working properly, because it is constantly pushing artists that I dislike on my homepage.    If Spotify's AI worked correctly, these artists would never be pushed on me, as Spotify would know that I HATE THEIR "music".   The way to rectify this is with a DISLIKE BUTTON. Spotify's AI could then quickly and easily determine which music I like and which music I don't, and therefor my user experience would go from the horrible one it is now (having music I HATE showing up on my home screen) to a POSITIVE USER EXPERIENCE (seeing the music I love on my home screen). ...

The new desktop version is Amazing. But some very useful features are no longer available, such as the search field at the top (visible on all screens). Another feature is the artist's recent releases, which previously were seen just below the cover. It's just my suggestion, Thanks. ... View more

Would add the ability for users to identify music that might be playing on the radio or from a nearby speaker, similar to that of Shazam or SoundHound. I imagine this feature would fit well into the voice command component that already exists on the search page by stating 'What song is this?' or similar.  ... View more

When in a song playlist...instead of scrolling down and down and down to say 'S'...can we not have a 'song search' bar within our own playlists so that rather than scrolling just go to your playlist 'song search' and type in the name of the song you want to listen to rather than doing a general search...Mobile App.   When logged onto a PC then when wanting to search for a song without having to scroll then can you not just type the song whilst the mouse pointer is over the playlist so that you again don't have to scroll endlessly.    This is probably too much to ask as there are other ways to search but I think a quick search is far better than endlessly scrolling to your desired track within your saved playlist.  ...

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! ...

Dear Spotify, I couldn't be bothered to read whether or not the other suggestions in this vein are the same as mine but I think I can express the idea I have in a particularly new and unique way, because I love using your service.   I like a lot of foreign language music. This isn't a problem when the language uses the latin alphabet because I can just learn the phoenetics of the word and type it out in order to find it. However, I like Japanese music and when I am searching for a Japanese song I try to learn a latinised version of the name. For example, I love the song  その線は水平線 by Quruli. A latinised version of this songname would be "Sonosen wa Suiheisen", but if I type that into Spotify (I only have access to a UK english keyboard and don't want to install a Japanese one), the song I am looking for doesn't come up; I have to type "Quruli" who have kindly latinised their bandname for me, and then manually find the song, instead of being able to navigate to it directly. This is a really simple implementation, you just need to add foreign language metadata variable to every song on the platform (I understand it would take a lot of work, but if you start with languages that are the furthest apart, like English and Japanese, and work inwards, the service would be improved rapidly). Do get back to me if this idea is of any use to you. The reason I am sharing it with you is simply because I love using your service and I want to improve it for myself and others, because I know everyone who uses Spotify actually loves using it!   Best wishes and I hope my idea is of use, From a fellow music lover, Michael ...

I was previously able to sort my search results when looking for song titles, which made it easy to find the song and version I wanted.  With one of the recent updates (not sure how recent) I've lost that ability!  I do a lot of searching and now it's a lot harder to find the specific song/version I'm looking for.  Can y'all please bring this back?? ...

Since today, when clicking the search bar, I no longer get shown my last searched songs, playlists and albums. Instead, I see stuff like "Your top genre", or "Browse all". I will not attempt to wrap my head around as to why the search history function was removed, I'll just put it like this: Reimplement it. I listen to a lot of songs in my search history again, so my song pattern is basically gone now. This is supposed to be directed at the Spotify support, I do not care for other opinions that get posted here. ... View more

I dislike some recent updates... The new update on desktop (I have a mac) removed the search bar from the top (except if you click on search tab) and also removed the tabs on artists pages. It also removed all the songs on an artist page, so you have to actually click on the album to see the songs, which is SUPER annoying when you are looking for a song in particular in a "I'll recognize it when I see it" kind of way. I don't know why Spotify made these changes but I really don't like them and it makes using Spotify on my desktop very unpleasant. I wish there was a way to go back to some of the old settings. I suggest allowing users to pick layout of artist page and adjust settings for search bar. Also, why did you get rid of the artist column?! It makes looking for an artist hard because you are reading the song column. Please consider these Spotify. And anyone who agrees with me, please support this. Updates are nice and all but this recent update really made me want to check out other music streaming platforms. It's not good to update for the sake of change. People who use and love Spotify love it for the simplicity and ease of use, but now you're just making it harder. ... View more

The new desktop update sucks. Please unhide the search bar (seriously, why would you hide it?) and order discography chronoligically (you know, the way that would make the most sense). Please also keep discography split into albums and singles, rather than merging them like you have now. It was way better the old way.   Really though, the search bar thing is absolutely disgraceful.   ... View more
