I think a great feature on Spotify would be if you could send songs that you like directly to one of your friends that you follow within the app on all platforms. Then, when your friend/follower receives the song suggestion:   1. It pops up as a notification on their phone/desktop 2. It gives the user a choice to 'add to queue' or to 'play now' or 'ignore' 3. The user can then 'thumbs up' or 'thumbs down' so that the original sender can see what their friend thought of the suggestion.  4. If the original notification is dismissed or the song suggested is 'thumbed up', the suggested song moves into a 'Suggested by XYZ' playlist which the user can come back to and access later.   I realise that there was an inbox feature previously that was discontinued, however this is because people don't need to send messages within Spotify. This suggestion is more simplistic and beneficial in that:  - It's easy to receive a song suggestion. - It's easy to access the song suggestion. - Users don't have to leave the app or try to remember song titles from screenshots their friends have sent them.   It will be more beneficial to, and enhance the social aspect of Spotify which currently is very limited in that you can only follow users and/or their playlists.      ...

It’d be awesome if the Spotify Stats website showed more information. I just reviewed my 2020 wrapped and wanted to compare my minutes to previous years, but I didn’t save them. Itd be cool if users had their total minutes listened displayed and broken down by year. There could even be different levels based on the amount of minutes listened.  ... View more

Spotify should tell you how many people on the app are playing to the same song you are while you are listening to it. So I'm listening to Ruby Tuesday by The Rolling Stones right now and somewhere on your Spotify app should tell you like "5,000 people are listening to this right now." Thought this would be a cool feature and could build a community if you see similar people with similar music taste.  ... View more

A karaoke mode where the text is being shown and highlighted at which point it is. This would be perfect for showing on a chrome cast for a party!!   Maybe not the best explanation but the typical karaoke experience.   Please share if you would like this feature!!! ... View more

I would very much like to see the option of creating a  personalised  "Vanity URL" for my Spotify Profile page link.   EG:  Instead of my profile being at this URL, with random numbers and letters: https://open.spotify.com/user/22za5pzhploojrcaukgxeoahq   I would like it at a custom  personalized  link, chosen by me: https://open.spotify.com/user/my-chosen-name    I understand that changing the 'username' for Facebook-created accounts is not an easy task, however this could be implemented differently, as an 'overlay' URL alias, rather than changing the underlying username data structure.   This not only is a feature for users that almost every other social platform offers, it also has the potential to create more 'shares', thus driving more traffic to the service, thus increasing your bottom line.    In short - Done right, this would not be a huge lift to implement, and would have a direct financial return in the way of more visitors, listeners, and customer satisfaction. There are already 12 threads I found here, and probably several more I did not find, asking for this ability to change the URL of a person's profile page, in order to more easily share their link to their profile on social media.  When I compile all the votes for those posts, including the original posters, there are already 43.  But because they are not on a single post, and due to the lack of curation on this forum, limitations of this search and differences in language, they are not compiled and falling under the radar.    If we can have everyone on the other threads to vote together on this one, hopefully this can get implemented.   Please consider this.   Terrance Orletsky Software Developer and Music Lover ----     Here are all the other related threads I could find: [All Platforms][Other] Change profile URL of old a... - The Spotify Community   Sptfy.com - Short spotify URLs - The Spotify Community   Solved: Change custom url - The Spotify Community   Brandable short url - The Spotify Community   My username/profile URL is random numbers/letters ... - The Spotify Community   [All Platforms][Social] Change Username (Not Displ... - The Spotify Community   Brand your own short url! - The Spotify Community   My username/profile URL is random numbers/letters ... - The Spotify Community   Why does my profile url has to be random letters n... - The Spotify Community   Solved: Facebook-linked profile showing as numbers - The Spotify Community   Profile Naming - The Spotify Community   Solved: Direct link to Spotify account? - The Spotify Community ...

Hey Spotify Cares, wild idea, allow other users to communicate amongst one another on your platform. For example, if I put a new song on a playlist and want to let people know who follow the playlist I can just message the followers in a group chat or something and tell them to check out the song. We already have profiles and things for people to look through so what would be the harm in adding in a messaging system? Thank you for hearing me out and Happy New Year! ... View more

As a user, the content played during private sessions should be excluded from Spotify Wrapped.   I use sleep sounds to study and would not want these to alter my statistics for Spotify Wrapped. When I listen to sleep sounds, I put the app in 'private mode' so that it does not alter recommendations. I would appreciate it if 'private mode' content is also excluded from Spotify Wrapped. ...

I realize there are all kinds of GDPR hurdles that would need to be overcome, but it would be SO cool to have an option to opt in to be connected with your music twin i.e. a spotify user that listsens to and likes the most similar amount of music to you. And then you could be notified when they like a new song, or listen to a new album and you could even chat with them.    Just a shot in the dark. But thought it could be fun!   Thanks! ... View more

Our objective is to create successful Spotify Community Engagement Group where we are able to message each other and share Playlists, Musical Artist and New Music.  The importance of engagement is of epic proportions. What I have noticed is that this Spotify Community platform is a huge untapped resource for people looking to increase reach and engagement through the Spotify platform. What I have also noticed is that a lot of individuals do not have any followers on this this community platform. Yes there are a lot of replies and a generous amount of likes but it is definitely unbalanced.  If there is no engagement and no following basically everything a community member likes or post will remain virtually undiscovered. This is mostly due to lack of post engagement. We would like to basically create a community group where we could message people, start topics, share ideas on how to grow, participate in a movement that actually helps playlist and artist kickstart a new release, support artist by helping them get legitimate followers from the Spotify Community. It takes a lot more than just great music to increase your reach as an artist. You need a great support team that is willing to exchange ideas and deliver results that will indefinitely deliver a response and most importantly a call to action. It is of up most importance individuals that wish to participate have a wide variety of genres that they are willing to listen to and engage with. Lets grow together  Thank you for taking the time to read this idea.  ... View more

I would love to be able to choose a parson and to be able to see what artists we both like. For example you could choose your new/old friend and see that in your playlists (you can choose which ones to compare) you share 70 songs with Avicii and 40 with Bruce spingsteen. And you share 10 of your top-100 played songs this year. And you discovered Kygo in the same moth at the same year.    The possibilities with this is endless and could really be a conversation thing if done in the right way, to be able to scan someones profile-link with your phone in the club and start chatting about your comparable music.   Come on Spotify, this idea have been up before but is inactive now, do something good with it! 🙂 ...

Greetings, everyone! I'm not going to paint this idea too much, because one name makes sense. But I want to highlight that sometimes I want to share the track with my buddy, so that he could open it either by the beautiful cover or right in the app. However, you can only copy the link, or share it in applications that my friends do not use. It's much more convenient when Spotify itself has a built-in messenger, where you can discuss songs and share them with your friends. ... View more

Spotify has not taken much action or initiative to protect the privacy or safety of users. Here is a proposal for: Spotify ID codes that can be changed at anytime by the user so that people who want to find/follow the user will have to directly ask them. (This is useful if someone wants to share their profiles and listening only with their followers). Hidden/Private Profiles. This should allow for users to have the option to keep ALL information on listening habits as well as followers and playlists hidden from people they do not know. Follower Requests. There should be a notification where when a user's profile is found through the Spotify ID code, the user gets a notification that a person wants to follow them, and can choose whether they will allow this person to follow them or not. Block Users. Block people who are unfamiliar to the user and will be unable to find the user's profile (followers and following) as well as playlists entirely. ... View more

I believe that it would be a great addition to Spotify on Xbox, to allow for there to be a communal menu on the Xbox party tab (identical to the one that shows up on the Xbox menu) to allow for anyone in the party to change the song and pause and play it.    Members of the party can choose the exit the Spotify party, while remaining in the Xbox party (they wouldn't hear the music).   I  also believe that it would be best if the leader of the party can stop people from changing and/or pausing the music, and stop people from adding certain songs to the playlist queue. They would do this by selecting the person's account and selecting a tab that would say "Spotify options", where they can kick them from the Spotify party or restrict the capabilities they have to affect the Spotify party.    I think that this addition would be great for all gamers, for those nights when you're listening to music and you wish that your friends who are there with you could also hear it and sing along. It would help create an atmosphere and help make Spotify and parties more enjoyable. ... View more

It is very good and useful that we can share music in Instagram stories. These stories came with default background, they are in different colours and can look nice, but in my opinion, it would be nicer if we can post songs with custom backgrounds. I will add an example picture. Feel free to share your opinions 🙂 (sorry if there is another post with the same idea, I couldn't find anything about this) (I'm not much into editing pictures, sorry for that ugly look:))  ...
