Just like iTunes, it would be great if Spotify could show the currently playing track as an iChat status (and even a Skype status). That's all. Nice and easy. Not a deal-breaker, but a nice touch. ... View more

This is a minor niggle of mine.    I would like to be able to hide the "User" column on playlists which are not collaborative (or have never been collaborative) since the column will always say the same name the whole way down the playlist, and that users name will be at the top anyways!      This is not such a problem on a widescreen computer like my laptop above, but on my desktop with its extra little 15" screen the User column just takes up unneccessary space which introduces horizontal scrolling.    In my eyes the duplicated data is just not needed!  Peter ...

Hey   I haven't seen an idea about this so I'll go ahead and write it down to see if its just me that would like this. I've been thinking about an idea for Spotify, I have a pretty big playlist that has about 1000 songs with 1000+ subscribers. And I bet that there is a lot of ideas of songs that could fit into this to make it better among the subscribers. There are probably also general opinions about the content in the list.   My idea is to make a "newsfeed/guestbook" for the playlist an available choice for the "playlist-author". This could be some sort of drop down menu that isn't always visible. That way it wouldn't "disturb" the typical spotify look but still be another useful function.   So this is just something for you to get an understanding for what i mean:                                           This could make it even easier to share music and explore new music, I think that is one of the great things about Spotify, that you explore so much new music and talented artists. Why not make it even easier to share that with people that have the same taste in music (that subscribes to the same playlist/playlists).   What do you think? ... View more

Tumblr is built on people posting things, and when people post things, they (should) tag them appropriately so that they may be indexed/easily/categorised etc.   At the moment, posts made to Tumblr by Spotify are only tagged with: #music #spotify I believe that they should be tagged with #music #spotify #<artist> #<album> #<track name> #<genre> This makes a lot more sense and is a lot more in-line with the way Tumblr posts are supposed to be tagged, simply tagging 'music' and 'spotify' are way too broad.   Perhaps this could be user configurable so the user can actually choose which details to tag their posts with? ...

I have often found myself wanting to share a radio station I have made, but there is no ability to specifically share the station instead of only the song/album/etc. that the station is based off of.  This should be added ... View more

I have 2 concerns regarding Spotify that in my opinion qualifies as privacy breaches, and I therefore have some suggestions.   1. When I press "Delete" playlist on one of the playlists created and composed by myself in my left column the playlist is NOT in reality deleted. The playlist lives on by itself in the cloud for anyone who subscribed to that list or knows the url even after I have "deleted" it. I think the concept and the wording is really misleading and it takes away my control of my own data: Either the wording in the right-click menu should be changed to "Unlink" OR the "Delete" option should have an additional tickbox named "Flush Playlist content before deletion". 2. If I share one of the playlists created by myself with one of my friends and that playlist is NOT set to "Published" in my profile it still becomes a "Published" playlist in the profile of my friend (if he/she has the autopublish preference turned on I believe and maybe regardless of the option as well). I think I myself should be in control of my own data and therefore decide if my playlist should be a "Published" playlist or not, even when my playlist is available to others via my friends. It is still MY playlist.   Is this a conscious blurring of privacy concerns because ultimately Spotify only cares about increasing clicks and not so much about respecting the privacy of its users?   ...

  I like the fact that my Spotify and Facebook accounts are linked. However, I would prefer it if Facebook didn't notify my friends each time I update a playlist on Spotify. Even when I only have 'Listened To' ticked (and have 'Playlists Created', 'Top Artists' etc. unticked), Facebook still puts each time I update a playlist on my timeline.      I have been able to get around this by manually ticking 'Hidden from timeline' each time I update a playlist. But this is time consuming for me (because I update my playlists often).   Can there be a new option for 'Playlists updated' which can be either ticked or unticked?    ... View more

I get that this is a licensing thing. There's an argument to be won here and it's not mine to make. I'm asking Spotify to fight for it.   When premium users share songs with non-premium users, those people get the page for the album it's on, and are required to shuffle the album. If we send out a playlist, the playlist is shuffled. This is actually not so bad and kind of surprising, and Spotify deserves credit for making it possible. But sharing a song and having your friends forced to hear a different song? What's the point?   Yes, this is what the recording and publishing industries have insisted on since the early days of Pandora - and God help us, Live365 - but somebody needs to make the case to these people that we who share a few times a week aren't trying to game the system so our friends can have free music. Free music is everywhere anyway.   We share songs so our friends will find out about music they otherwise would never hear. And buy it.   We want them to join Premium, we want them to buy records; and we know these people infinitely better than the recording industry does. If we want them to hear "Valley Girl" and Spotify makes them listen to "Drowning Witch," that helps nobody anywhere. If we want them to hear "Drowning Witch" instead, we have our reasons.   Premium users should be able to send single tracks and ordered playlists to friends twice a day without hassle; and if we manage to form some kind of satanic daisy-chain of share posts that allow our friends to enjoy the same semi-random selection of free music they can have by derping around YouTube? We'll cross that bridge when we come to it.   Then again, if the current policy was designed to make me add a family account for my wife, it worked. ... View more

Currently a "share" by a friend in the activity feed essentially has the exact same styling as a "[person x] listened to [song y]".   Considering the ratio of listens to actual shares will be quite high, shouldn't a curated "share" stand out way more in some way? I share once in a while, but I'm sure most of these highly-curated actions are just lost to the noise of consecutive "listening" updates. ... View more
