Firstly this new update is atrocious, not only is it ugly and so difficult to use there was literally no need for it!! please go back to a few years ago when in the artists tab it was all the artists you had a song of rather than just the ones you followed, that was back when Spotify was at its best. I’ve been using Spotify since around 2012/2013 and have had premium for about the same time and I have to say each major update has made it progressively worse. I’m tired. It genuinely feels like they’re trying to make it worse and force me off of the service for good. At the very least offer some sort of option where it allows you to pick the Spotify interface that best suits you.   Please get rid of this new update, at least the old one was somewhat useable ...

Why did you remove the artist column for the desktop app? My idea is to bring that back, as this is a main way that people sort and visualise their music. I know you can sort by artist, however the artist name is in smaller font below the song title. Why? Or another idea, allow people to customise the columns they want to view, without being forced into a specific view. ... View more

I thought the pervious update done to library was awesome. Very easy to swipe back and forth between playlists, artists, albums, and podcasts. Each could be sorted their own way which is great because I (and no one I know of) uses playlists the same way they use albums. Now, instead of an easy swipe I have to nail the little tiny button at the top of the screen because “your library” is completely unnavigable without filtering. It’s really not that big of a deal but the function is pretty much identical to how it was before, just harder to switch back and forth. Additionally, as I mentioned no one uses albums the same way they use playlists so it’s extremely annoying that the filter applies to your entire library rather than having one filter set for albums, one for playlists, etc. Playlists (at least for me and most people I know) are a continuously evolving list and generally it makes the most sense to have it sorted by recently played. But I like to listen through new albums when they come out so now I have to switch between the filters every time I want to switch from listening to new albums back to listening to a playlist. Again, ultimately not a massive deal but it makes the app more tedious to get to the music you want to listen to.   Ultimately I doubt it happens, but I really hope you go back to the previous version of “your library” because the UI is so much better. (And it has nothing to do with being use to one or the other, I use spotify all day every day and am already familiar with the update, it’s just less functional.) ... View more

you say that you think this new update is better organized and easier to navigate but in my opinion it's quite the opposite. You only give us the option to custom order our playlist on the desktop version and no other devices, when I go to add a song to a playlist the list of my playlists is completely out of order and all jumbled up, and if you're playlists are ordered in recently added - recovered playlists don't go back to where they were originally created they reappear next to your most recent playlists. I get where you guys were going with the library concept but having everything there like that is a little overbearing, and yes you give us the option to separate it by playlist, artist, album, etc. but that setting doesn't stay you have to choose it every time you open the app. I think you should give us the option to either continue using this new version or revert back to the old one - therefore people who find the new update better for them can keep it and the people that understand the old update more can go back to it. Please please please consider this, I have loved Spotify for years now but this new update makes me feel overwhelmed and I know I'm not the only one - there are hundreds of thousands reddit pages, YouTube videos, Spotify support pages, articles, etc. about how many people would like the old version back. Thank you for your time. ... View more

A serious Spotify problem, shared with other services, is how poorly duplicate versions of songs and albums are managed. There are many different (re)releases of what is apparently the same album. Also, the same song can appear in many different albums/compilations. Spotify largely fails to understand all these different versions of albums and songs as being duplicates. Meaning that:   Existing features do not work reliably Liking songs Disliking / Blocking songs Liking albums Exploring the music catalog Song popularity indicators Skipping duplicates when adding songs to playlists Proposed features will not work reliably Tagging songs and creating dynamic playlists Song play counts Alternate modes for Discover Weekly, Radios and other discovery features Show and play only not-played songs Show and play only not-liked songs Comparing libraries between friends More detailed problem descriptions: Songs I have liked are often not liked within any album with the same name on the artist page, nor within the list of top songs on the artist, nor radios I play, nor my own playlists. Making me add it again and again ending up with tons of duplicate liked songs. Albums I have liked are often not liked on the artist page (Same exact album name) Albums and Album-Songs that I liked on the Artist page are no longer liked when I look at the Artist page a(day, week, month, year) later because the album displayed on the Artist page has been replaced by a new version.   The same song turns up again and again in top songs for an artist Duplicates of disliked/blocked songs keep playing, turning disliking/blocking songs into a game of whack-a-mole. Often the songs in top songs, or radios/playlists, for an artist are not from any of the album versions visible on the artist, but rather links to some some sort of zombie album release not accessible in any way except through the link from the song. So I like a number of top songs or radio songs for an artist and minutes later view the same songs in an album with the same name as the song I liked but this one is not liked. Avoiding duplicates in playlists does not work reliably. So I have playlists full of duplicates. The above problems mean I end up with a ton of duplicates in my liked songs. And thus, when I add songs to playlists by selecting all liked songs from an album/artist or similar the playlist ends up with duplicate songs Spotify badly needs to implement a strategy for handling this, such as making one version per album and song preferred and making sure that their interface consistently use these preferred versions everywhere by default, automatically migrating all a users Liked songs and playlist songs to this version whenever it changes. The user should only need to see this horrible mess if they want some very specific version of an album/song. Then some way of opening the doors to this pandora's box can be provided. Like a "See all releases" link when you open the preferred version of an album or song. Combined, perhaps, with the option to lock liked songs and playlist songs to this specific version.   However, it is a huge burden for a company to manage this data and the choices made may be controversial. This is likely to be why it is still not fixed even though doubtlessly Spotify is well aware of just how big a problem this is.   For a single company managing this data is prohibitively expensive, for the community of tens of millions of users doing so is a trivially small amount of effort. So here's my suggested solution to all these problems:   Crowdsource it. Let the users mark different versions of albums and songs as duplicates of each other and possibly vote for which one should be the preferred version. The user would simply paste in the links to other songs or albums into a "Report duplicate" function on a song or album. This would remove the immense burden of managing this data from Spotify employees and, if voting is implemented, makes it very hard for users to complain about which version is preferred. It would be a democratic process among all the users.   I think that solving this problem first could be a huge competitive advantage. I have already posted this as a suggestion to Tidal as well. Please get moving on this Spotify if you think it a good idea, or you might miss the boat. ... View more

In early May of 2021, Spotify added a new feature to the app called Enhance. This feature was found in user-created playlists’ title, and tapping Enhance would add songs to the playlist that are of similar genre. Songs added to the playlist would have a special icon, denoting it was added by the feature and the playlist would be tagged as “Enhanced”. From there, you could keep any of the songs added to your playlist permanently. Those that weren’t added could easily be removed all at once by tapping Enhance again.  What made the feature captivating was the ease of use and how the feature used artists, both known and sometimes unknown, for a diverse selection. This opened up a fast and very easy method of listening to other artists in your favorite genre you may not have heard of or listened to yet. The feature was completely voluntary to the user and presented no risks: songs were as easy to remove as they were added. As Spotify aims for the best user experience and often curates playlists for its users’ tastes, why not reconsider a feature that achieved that objective in a much more streamlined and quick manner? ...

I think it's no secret, that many people, myself included, don't really like the way "Your Library" works now. However, just force reverting it for everyone will not solve the problem, because : A: Some people may actually prefer it the new way. B: Spotify probably has a reason, why they made the change in the first place. C: As soon as Spotify tries again to change up "Your Library", which, let's be honest, will happen at some point. This whole discussion will start all over again (look no further than 2019).   So wouldn't it be best if users had the option in the settings to revert "Their Library" to the way it was before?   Or maybe even go one step further and give users the option to freely customize "Their Library" (f.E. let them decide if they want to see the artist page or their liked songs from that artist when they click on them).   That way people can test new features if they want so without being forced to somehow get along with them.   ...

     Good  Morning/ E vening/Night        As someone who frequently organizes and cleans through their Spotify playlists, I find myself holding many playlists with the same songs on them. So in my automatic attempt to drag a playlist over onto another like it were a layer in Paint Tool Sai on the side bar, I realized quickly that Spotify didn't have a merge feature.  I got to thinking found myself upon this website with my proposition.      What I am suggesting is an ease of access tool on Spotify for the main sidebar and playlist menu. This feature would allow a user to hold click on a playlist, drag it onto another playlist, and merge the two together. A menu would pop up ensuring that the user wishes to do this, and then a second menu popping up asking to delete all duplicates. Once both menus are confirmed, the playlist would merge, and delete any duplicates if decided so.      In addition to the merge feature, and certainly useful, I believe having a selection option for playlists would aid in merging, in case the user wanted to merge multiple playlists. This could also allow for mass deleting and moving of playlists as well. [I wrote this mostly as a joke but also as a serious suggestion. If you read through all the way then Thank you! Spotify Ideas Team, if you're reading, I think allowing for the option would make your organization features the one above all other applications. Again, thank you for reading through, and enjoy your day/night!] ... View more

Yes, I'm aware that this is a duplicate issue from the litany of other requests by the same name. Please actually do listen to the community about this request rather than just filing it away and wiping your hands clean.   One of the most sought after functionalities with Spotify among these forums is the ability to download music for offline use to the Apple Watch. We have asked for this feature for years now. Your competitors (Pandora, Deezer, Apple Music) allow for offline listening on the Apple Watch.   We just want to be able to go on a run and not need cellular data. Please Spotify, any barebones functionality would do wonders for the community. ... View more

Please change the app back to its old layout. I am instantly regretting updating my app today. I don’t like that music and podcasts are together. I prefer to order my music by “recently played,“ but order my podcasts by “recently downloaded.“ So now, if I want to find a podcast that I just downloaded, I need to change the ordering, select “podcasts,” select “downloaded,” and then I can find it. Then when I want to listen to music I have to undo all that.  I am very disappointed with this update. Spotify isn’t worth the hassle if it’s going to stay like this.  ... View more

Hey! So I really like the new “search by downloaded” feature in the new library layout. I was thinking though, it would be great if I could also filter or search by genre.

It would be really handy to get to filter by genre to rediscover friend recommendations when i’m in the mood for a certain genre  ... View more

Seems simple enough, give me an option to flag a song as "Do Not Play"....ever (until I choose to unflag)!  Let's say I am listening to an album and I just detest a song on it, I would love that song to be automatically skipped every time I listen to that album.  While I do understand I can make a custom playlist, alter queue....etc, a simple right click and choice of "Do Not Play" would be really really nice, assuming it sticks forever.
