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 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

I would love to see a small filter/quick search function within an artist page, much like the feature you find within your own playlists. I often find myself browsing an artist page and wanting to find a specific song and it seems inconvenient having to type out the entire artist name (again) + song title in the main search bar. Other times I may not know the exact wording of the song, and having a filter function filtering only the available songs from that specific artist matching any search term entered would make it easier to find the song I am searching for. I added 2 photos of what this could look like ... 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? ...

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.             ...

Would be super useful if I could select 'see all my playlists' when searching, or for the search result to return 'my playlist' matches above general matches after artist and songs.   I may have created e.g. a 'best of' for an artist and can't remeber where I filled it (as I use folders within folders) or can't be bothered to scroll. The ability to prioritise searching my playlists rather than all the playlists on spotify first would be great.    #myplaylist #playlist #search ... View more

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 ...

I came up with this idea because I listen to many Japanese songs and, as I don't understand hiragana and katakana (japanese writing), when I find songs that I would love to have repeating all day, I can't find the song. Last month I tried Apple Music and in there, they have all those Japanese song titles translated to Romaji so...My idea is to have those titles translated at least for people who use English or Spanish as their Spotify language. ...

Can you implement a way to simply view all songs involved with a searched artist. The way it is now, it seems very difficult to find songs as we can only see popular songs or go through individual albums. It would make it easier to discover new or not as popular songs and a lot of times I find myself going to YouTube to find new music.  ... View more

I use Spotify on an iPhone. When I am in the "Playlists" tab of my library and I search for something from the search bar at the top, it seems to only search within the playlist names. It would be great if it would search for the names of the songs and artists within the playlists. Often times I want to find a playlist that has a certain song but I can't, and checking all of them individually is not feasible. Please like if you agree this is a good enhancement! 🙂 ... View more

Hello,   I think that a nice feature should be a play button from the search menu, I've created a mockup so you can get the idea. I find myself frustrated at times that I have to go to the album and find the song and then click play, would be nice if you could play it straight from the search thingy.   Let me know what you think, thanks. ...

Currently, when you search for a song and play it, the next song to be played is the next result in the list of resulsts.  But most people searching, for example, for "rockstar" by Post Malone will not be looking to hear "rockstar" by Nickleback and then hear "rockstar" by Hannah Montana, since those are different genres of music. ...
