The Spotify program should not distinguish between traditional and simplified characters in search functions. I.e. a search for "我的爱" should turn up results for "我的愛" and "我的爱" (assuming Spotify eventually labels songs in simplified characters. Regardless of whether it does or does not, searches should be conductible in either). Of course, there will be some ambiguity every now and then, but surely in our modern day of technology we can simply find a way to show all potential results, eg... "我的头发" would find "我的頭髮" as well as "我的頭發" and, should Spotify start using simplified characters as a display option (though even if it doesn't simplified characters should still be searchable), "我的头发." It is really annoying to have to change my input method editor just to search for music and then change it back for regular use.

Add a new metod to find song by genre, not playlist, add category "genre".

Seriously, when I search for music - I type in things like "trance", "dubstep", "symphonic rock", "instrumental", "meditation", etc. The results however are anything but usable: it seems that the whole search engine ONLY looks a Artist name, Album names and Track names.... That way I can't find ANYTHING! Sure, results pop up: there is always an album called "The Best Of Trance" when you look for trance, but what about the awesome trance music that was released two days ago by a totally unknown artist and who would be more than willing to label or tag his songs for spotify with "trance", so people can find him? This system as it is, is not working for me - I am seriously contemplating to cancel my subscription because all I've been doing the past months is listening to the same music over and over that I "found" in the meantime, while what I really want is to get an endless stream of good, new music that all fall in the genre that I am interested in (non-vocal electronic music, preferably dubstep, dance or trance). The way to achieve this is by using tags (or labels) that people can give to songs; hopefull the artists themselves will do this - but it would be nice if tags would also be added to music because someone added it to a playlist - and gave that playlist a tag (you can probably just use the playlist name that people use -- though it would be better to explicitely ask people to add tags to their playlists). I know that in the Browse section there is a "Genre & Moods" tab with a few categories to choose from, but those are way too limited to be useful (I'm sure you'll understand that none of them contains exclusively "non-vocal electronic dubstep" for example).

How it is now: - open large playlist - you want to select a specific song to listen to - you filter your playlist by typing it in the filterbar this is the annoying part.. - you see the actual song you want, sitting on top of your filtered list - you want to press enter, but instead you have to grab your mouse and click the song - now you want to continue playing the rest of your playlist, not just the filtered content - you have to click again, in the filterbar - hand of off mouse, to remove typed letters - hand back to mouse to continue using pc How it should be - you filter your playlist by typing it in the filterbar - you see the song you want to listen you sitting on top of the list - PRESS ENTER TO PLAY THE TOP MOST SONG - PRESS BACKSPACE to remove typed letters and continue listening to everything old way: mouse, keyboard, mouse, keyboard, mouse new way: mouse, keyboard, mouse

Ever since the new update, i'm are not capable of searching for songs/artist/albums on my Android device if I am offline. This is incredibly frustrating because this means I have to scroll through me playlist (containing over 700 songs on each playlist) to find one indivisual track,arist, or album. Spotify needs to bring this feature back to android devices.

How nice would it be if you are in the window of a specific artist and you know the name of a song: No matter if there are albums, singles, compilations and so on. If you fill in one letter - for example an a - then songs with other letters disappear. If you fill in another c and yet another c again, so you have 'acc'. With the artist Jubei probably the only song that would not disappear is "accidental note". This system would greatly advance the way you could search for a song in the database of a specific artist. Some lists in the windows of artists have become so long you need to search for specific song a very long time.
