Hello everyone, I use spotify since my times in Sweden so this goes to like 3/4 years ago and I've been along for the ride and enjoying every single moment. Also I'm a UX/UI Designer and this is the reason why I'm making this suggestion, since I found it very useful for better defining what is what This said I found that  since early days, unless I missed something, there's something missing in what concerns Playlist.  The Problem / Issue: Public Playlists sort everything that the User makes Public , including those ones that are from other users or 'brands', mixing them up and if a specific User follows many Playlists it becomes, lets call it 'Hard', to explore that specific user's taste. I usually explore some users public music to better understand taste and discover new music, but when you encounter this problem, it becomes a 'waste of time' going through many Popular Playlists that I already know or that I have to click to see if its from that user, and with the new layout it becomes even harder due to the fact that the Playlist Creator isn't displayed directly under the playlist overview anymore (in older versions the layout had the 'owner' in plain sight).  Suggestion / Solution / Idea: So, there are several solutions for this, either finding a way to fit the username in the playlist 'face' again, add a 'sort by user' option or...    And this is my real suggestion:    Add a New Tab to the User Profile with the name "Self Playlists" or something similar ( "User Playlists" maybe ), and use the "Public Playlists" one, to display those that that specific user is following, or rename it to something like "Followed Playlists".   Example: ...

Pressing spacebar in an app scrolls the page (or does nothing). I know this behaviour comes from the fact that apps is built using web technogly and run in Chromium that's  embed into Spotify desktop , but almost everywhere else in Spotify spacebar is play/pause.   Also: Make cmd+L (OS X) focus the search input in apps/radio (as it is in the rest of the app) (I know that option+cmd+F works for this in apps/radio) ...

So hi,   I've got an idea how to slightly imporve UX:   1. History of search shows recent query data 2. If user picks one he sees the query result:   3. Now instead of you it would be much more better for user to see this soted by recently played.     The A/B testing would tell how many results should be displayed. I bet it would be around 3, up to five.  What do you think about that? ... View more

Hello,   Today, if you do a search by Label (see below screen shot), you get a random listing of Albums.  Instead, you should see a similar set of sort options like you now have in My Music - Albums.  This applies to all platforms, but let's start with the desktop client first...   This is a great example of User Unfriendliness.  Since you only display a very limited number of new albums each week, this would be a big help to find new albums by popular labels or genres like Jazz or Classical.   This is a no-brainer Spotify...oh, and making the Label a link would probably blow your mind...   Come on Community, let make this happen!  It's long overdue...   Thanks, Phil   ...

I want to pluck the Browser-style Back/Forward buttons that are available on Desktop version and drop them smack somewhere into mobile version.   i.e. I want the ability to hop Back to the previous song played when it was on a previous playlist- not just back to previous song on current album or playlist- and by extension, the ability to hop Back to that previous playlist.   This modest improvement to functionality could be effected by:   Adding the ubiquitous left/right back/fwd triangle buttons to edges of current area containing REW |<< and >>| FFW Adding said buttons as a transparent overlay that appears somewhere on top of the album cover Adding Back/Forward functionality to the options that get called up in dark grey overlay that shows when small i button is activated I prefer option 3. because it's least disruptive to current UI, the simplicity of which I really enjoy. If users howl for the function to be more front and center then someone on payroll can figure out a solution, I have no doubt.   Option 1. would have a crowding effect. One thing I love about Spotify mobile is the clean and simple feel of the design. Option 2. would look clunky, and some users may regard that album cover area as inviolable.   'Back' is a great way to not lose track of songs and artists that I haven't yet starred or added to a playlist while I'm discovering new music on desktop version, or just handy for general navigation. Not having this functionality on mobile results in a few additional, frustrating clicks and swipes to go Back when I want to. (Changed my mind about Chief Keef playlist, let's go back to A Day to Remember!) This is exacerbated when playlists are mysteriously cloning themsleves at night like Gremlins.   So...   GIMME.   P.S. If somehow this in there already and I'm just too daft to have noticed it... stellar! Point me in that direction and I'll gladly pipe down. ... View more
