It would be nice to add a time machine or something similar, where you can select a specific year and you will find just songs from for example 2016 or / and before. And this should work for every artist, like: when you select some artists and whenever you go on their pages you will see just the music that they created for the year that you selected.   Update: When I set for example "year: 2016 label: monstercat" on my phone (I have the last version for iPhone) and I search for all the songs, then I can't play all them like a playlist, instead spotify allows me to play just one song without setting all the other songs that I found in the queue...on computer works fine, but I think it's quite annoying to set everytime the conditions and then play from the "songs" section.   I tried this "tag" for some days, and at the end I found some points that I think would be nice to improve: - opportunity to add multiple songs at once in a playlist when you open the "songs" selection after searching with tags (see first image) - Directly import all the songs from the research into a playlist. - Add a play button like on all the others artist pages.   But I'm still thinking that setting a "time machine," where when you go to an artist page you see just all the songs before a date that you set is still valid, even if there is this "search with tag" option. ...

Greetings people all over the world!  First time posting here, kinda nervous! I think that something that is missing on Spotify is a really good search engine. It is very frustrating when you do not get the artist or song for a typo. Also, please add a new search bar for the ¨liked songs¨ on the top of the screen, the current one is not really helpful where it is right now. Thank you, have an awesome day or night whichever comes first! ... 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  ...

Could you add a way to search a specific song and have it return all playlists in your library that include that song? (In the same search bar where you would search for playlists in your library.) Especially for people like me who have a lot of playlists/regularly make new ones, it would be very helpful. (Sometimes I remember a specific song, especially an old one/one that I used to listen to some time ago, and I know I have one or more playlists I've made that include it. So I want to find that playlist because it contains other songs from that specific time period of my life or a similar mood or whatnot. But I can't remember which playlist. So then I try to go through every playlist and get sad).  ... View more

Hello! Time and time again, just because there aren’t enough likes, this idea is ignored and it makes me really annoyed.   Bring a search bar inside of podcasts (mobile) so we can find topics in podcasts WE ACTUALLY LIKE. There are so many with good content and scrolling is just so ineffective. How can you turn your efforts to podcast without having a feature that apple podcast had for years.   Sure, there is a search tab. But it stinks, really. I want to see it improve. I can’t use advance search (and frankly I don’t know how) to look up a single Podcast Episode. I have to make my way through endless scrolling.    Can’t AI also give us helpful search topica within a podcast that we wanna hear? Like Ted talks- Social change, science, society etc.   Come on Spotify, I know you can do better.    PS And create an idea label for podcasts.  ... View more

With the most recent update, I find that I no longer have the ease of access in searching for a particular playlist in my library. I'm sure I'm not alone in this -- I literally have hundreds of playlists on my account. It's hard to scroll through my sidebar or library to find the exact one that I want, so instead I use the search function.  In the past, once I found the playlist through the search function, the sidebar would automatically scroll to the position where that particular playlist is located (e.g. 60th name down from the top of the list). From here, I was able to easily drag and drop songs from a different playlist (e.g. a radio), either individually or all at once, to this playlist via the sidebar.    Now, however, this automatic function no longer exists. Once I search for a playlist, it'll only bring me to the playlist page but the sidebar doesn't change at all. It doesn't scroll to where my playlist is, and it makes me scroll all by myself to search through this sea of a hundred playlist names. It's incredibly inefficient and annoying, especially since this problem was easily taken care of before with your previous algorithm. Now, I can't just drag and drop new songs and use spotify with the ease that I was able to before in curating my own playlists. Please bring it back. ... 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. ...

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? ...

It would be great if you could search for let's say George Gershwin and find Interpretations of his songs where he is listed only as composer. This would be great for people listening to jazz, because jazz standards are often written by musical-composers and then performed by all kind of jazz artists. Also if you could click on the composer who is listed in the song information. I think TIDAL has that feature ... I hope my point is coming across. Thanks and all the best! ... View more

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 ...
