Is it just me, or does Spotify not update playlists and local files from iTunes automatically as you add more tracks? This is so annoying. I use iTunes to add and organize my local files, which Spotify is not able to do. But the least Spotify could do was to do a check up once in a while to see if i added new local tracks or changed my playlists in iTunes. As it is now i have to import playlists and local files everytime i add new music. So i first need to add it to iTunes and then again to Spotify. Toooo much work.

When one of your friends is listening to Spotify Radio, it would be really cool if you could "tune in" to their station and listen to the same things they are. It could even go so far as to sync the playhead so that you're listening to the same thing at the same time. Sort of like Soundrop without the democracy. 🙂

Hello! I would like to see an option to "Sync all folders and playlists" on mobile devices. I recently had to reinstall Spotify on my iPhone, and it would save me a lot of time and annoyance if it was possible to simply sync everything at once. The way it works now I have to enter each folder, then enter each list and enable "Available Offline" one at a time. As if waiting for it to sync up once this job is done wasn't bad enough. And I say job, because that's what it feels like. It would be great if you could add this feature, it would fit nicely in under "Settings" someplace. It would be easier to just turn off "Available Offline" on the folders or lists you didn't want after this is done. Thanx for an otherwise awesome service! 🙂 ZneyPhinx ~Music Lover~

I have several playlists that are labeled "pending", presumably because I've hit my ridiculous 3,333 song limit on my iPhone. I see no easy way of knowing which songs have not successfully synced and I have a large number of local files that are pretty important to have available in offline mode (the entire AC/DC catalouge. grumble.). It would be great if spotify could flag or highlight tracks that are still pending so I can more easily determine how to manage my playlists.

The idea: be able to limit the number of tracks downloaded/synced for an offline playlist. Example: suppose a followed playlist containing three hundred tracks. The idea would give the option to limit the number of tracks downloaded/synced offline: "Limit download to first 25/50/100 tracks" or "Limit download to 100 random tracks." Reasoning: (1) following a longer playlist (i.e., 300 tracks) that is updated frequently and marked for download results or may result in near constant downloading/syncing on a mobile device, and (2) a 300 track playlist limited to the first or random 25/50/100 tracks would permit more space for other playlists while still offering the listener a substantial taster of what that playlist has to offer. Kudos appreciated if you appreciate this idea.

It would be great to be able to scan our Spotify collections through Tunewiki or musiXmatch or even click to access the lyrics like you can on the computer. As far as I can see, this is not possible on my iPhone 4S despite having Spotify Premium and both lyrics apps. Then the lyrics could be synced like they are on the computer. MusiXmatch seems to scan your music library but as I only use Spotify, this is no good. Please try to sort this out, Spotify! Then we'll love you even more than we already do! xxx

I can see that others have requested these features, but there is a few more I would like to suggest. - Synced History across all devices. Regardless of where you listen it shows on history tab. - Notifications when someone adds a song to a collaborative playlist. (and older post/request with no resolution) - Check the histories of others if they have it toggled on. If there is options for thee above, please feel free to mention it. Would be nice to be able to do.

Today i got a new brilliant update of Spotify to my Android, however i became a bit sad and upset when i realised that all my offline lists i had synced was gone. I became sad because my laptop is in on service and i can't sync and play about 500 local songs that i have on my computer. Spotify is really limited in that way i would like to see that either spotify implements its own cloud service within every premium user or that you can sync your mobile devices with another cloud service e.g Dropbox or any other Cloud service because the limitation of syncing your local files when both your computer and mobile devices is connected to the same network isn't really great in my opinion. In fact it bothers me everytime it comes a new update and i need to resync my offline lists and i can't sync because i'm always on the go and i don't have both devices with me and it keeps bothering me each time when it comes a new update and i have to resync my offline playlist at the same local network as my computer to be able to play my local files . So please Spotify fix this annoying First world problem that i'm having and probably a few more other users other there.

Here's the deal: on my Android, somestimes I save all the tracks from a favorite album under de Your Music section, but don't wanna sync all of its tracks offline. Unfortunately, you have no option but to download the album on its entirety even if you just wanted to sync a few of its songs. I would like to be able to download only a few tracks for offline play despite saving the whole album on the Your Music section. Could that be made possible?

Make "Your Music" Searchable - Songs, Albums, and Artists sub sections of Your Music should have drag down serachability. - My thumb gets tired from scrolling..... Make an "Offline" Switch for "Songs" section - It's been done for the Albums and Artists and really needs to be done for the Songs section. - If you have the space it allows you to add tracks to your music and have them be offiline when you need them (missed this about the "Starred" feature). Thanks for this great app! - Joe

How about a cloud-like feature that 'pushes' your most recent song to devices connecting to Spotify? Say you're listening to the new Arcade Fire on your iPhone. You get home, boot up your Mac and start Spotify. Bam, there is the song you were listening to on your iPhone. You click 'Play', it starts playing from exactly where you left off. No hassle, no searching for that one song you were listening to.

Got spotify premium and loving the offline playlists. Unfortunately, at home I only have a Bluetooth PAN to my computer, to provide wireless internet over Bluetooth. Spotify will stream all the music I want over the PAN, and will then save the track I stream offline, and that's okay. However, it won't sync. I can set playlists to be offline, but if I'm on bluetooth the sync never starts; I can only play through the tracks, one by one. This means I have to play through all my music at home before I can take it elsewhere, which is time-consuming and pretty frustrating. Is there any chance of making the iOS Spotify app sync over a Bluetooth connection?
