my issue was I was being harrrased by my ex.. a long time ago she kept reporting my albums with a lot of followers just to **bleep** me off.. I got like 50 emails from you guys taking my albums down and me emailing back to restore it cause it diddnt violate anything. Today she was able to hack into my account and change album titles and delete my albums with a lot of followers. I tried to change the password and recover my albums after a while I checked and it was all deleted song by song and title changed.. good thing your team was able to recover all the songs in my albums that she deleted.. I hope you add a block button soon as I know I’m not the only one having this problem of harassment.. she has bees trying to hack all my social media accounts.. the other day I woke up to 19 emails trying to hack my IG and email.. in IG you can turn off messaging and block the person so all she could do is try to add me with different accounts.. with viber there aren’t any laws here in the philippine regarding purchasing SIM cards so she just buys a ton of SIM cards and Harasses me by messaging me there and I just block her.. there are no laws here for men being harassed only for women.. which sucks cause I’m originally from California.. anyways.. thank you for all your help and hopefully we get that block button soon.. music should be shared and albums should not be on private to prevent harassment.. thank you again.. please do not add a message option as it will cause more problems.. you have other social media accounts for that.. Please keep this for music only.. thank you.. ... View more

This is not a new idea, but I haven't found any practical reply to it, so I think it needs to be repeated. I completely agree with  Rennestein  (screen capture below), we need to stop seeing suggestions for content we feel is offensive because it is annoying and abusive. Why can't it be possible to decide what we first see when we open Spotify on any device? (playlists, recently played, artists we're following, etc), and enjoy better our Spotify experience? Please Spotify, let us have the home screen as we'd like.    Let us hide what we do not want to be exposed to :)) Thank you! ... View more

I pay for my subscription. Every month for years now. The main reason I am a paid-for subscriber with Spotify is so I don't have to hear ads. As I have shifted my podcast listening from other providers to Spotify to bypass ads, both from the platform as well as integrated into the content.   I expect not to hear ads on Spotify. I understand there are ads woven into the actual content of the podcast itself, but for as big of a company and the amount of leverage Spotify has, I expect to not hear ads so long as I am paying for the service.   I reached out to Spotify and got this lazy, generic answer from Joy in Spotify Customer Support: “if you're hearing ads on podcasts using this Premium account. It's possible that the podcaster integrated that ads to their podcast content”. Thanks for breaking your back on that response.   I KNOW what the ads I’m hearing are. And I understand they can’t ask podcasters to export two versions, one with integrated ads and one without. What I expect from Spotify is to either implement metadata that tags the beginning and ending of ad segments and bypass them for us, Premium subscribers, or require podcasters to give metadata timecodes that Spotify can identify to bypass them AUTOMATICALLY.   Just to be clear, even if these identifiers are put into the content, I don’t want to have to pull my phone out to hit any sort of “skip ads” button. This is literally the ONLY reason users have Premium. So get rid of the ads. It’s actually very simple. And let’s not get started on how archaic it is to continually hit the “15sec forward” button to bypass the ads, first over shooting, then undershooting the duration of the integrated ad, only to have to make peace with hearing the last ten seconds of the ad. At that point it’s not servicing either party in the transaction.   It’s 2020. You are a huge company with a lot of leverage and a huge developer budget. I honestly can’t believe I’m even having to write this suggestion.   tl:dr - Spotify, I am a Premium member. You made a promise to me that if I became a Premium member, I wouldn’t hear ads. I’m hearing ads on podcasts. Integrated or not, I don’t care. You have the technology and power to fix it. So fix it. And make it automatic. It’s 2020. ... View more

You use terms like private and hidden in ways different than I’d expect so not sure what word to use except secret.  here’s the thing…..  I don’t want my playlist for intimate moments to be visible to anyone who happens to see my phone or Spotify recently played list in my car. The most embarrassing moment of my life was having a colleague see my “**bleep**” track pop up in my car. So inappropriate and potentially damning of someone ever thought I was using it as a sort of innuendo.  please give users the opportunity to set up private/hidden/secret playlists that must be specifically accessed and not visible in recents or in standard list of playlists. I really don’t pay much attention to your nomenclature and have spent any time so this might be libraries or something, but whatever it is you call them, there are really legitimate reasons for not wanting the casual observer to know some of the podcasts and music you listen to.  thank you!  ...

Hello! So, I just need to tell you that over the years, both on the app and the PC client, the UI has gotten worse and worse, and it's usually because there are changes to designs that are made just for the sake of it. Like the newest update that changed the PC client. Instead of having a search bar constantly visible and easily accessible, it's now a button you have to press to get into the search section, and it's just such a weird and unnecessary design that clutters up the sidebar more than it already was. Similar thing happened to the android app a few years back. Instead of having the search bar readily available by pulling down as far as possible in any playlist, liked songs and artist page, now you have to tap the tree dots and the 'Find in <insert list name>' option. This not only breaks the flow of using the app, but is also very user unfriendly... I'm not sure who's in charge of these designs, but they are not good, I must say. Year after year, update after update, the app just gets more annoying to use and cluttery, and there has to be an end to it. There's something called "don't fix what's not broken". A few years back, can't remember the exact version, you had a GREAT design, both on the app and the client. Yet, you still changed it, like just because you wanted a "fresh" look. I just noticed that you changed the android app too, so we'll see how much I like that. I cannot be the only one with these opinions, surely... And hopefully someone with a bit more reference photos or details can give you a better idea of what the problems are, cause sadly I don't have the brain capacity to remember such details. Anyway, please just try not to change things and fix things that aren't broken. I would love to see the more intuitive search system back instead of having to go to the "three dot" menu all the time... Guess that's my biggest problem. UPDATE: The new android app, I gotta say, I'm happily surprised with the search button now being easily available. Very good design choice. Have barely used the app so far, so can't yet say that I like it completely, but looking promising. ... View more

The UI is ruined, it makes everything difficult. The search bar was moved when literally no one had an issue with where it was positioned. The search history holds less results, with big icons that are ugly, useless, and don't need to be there as opposed to a list of searches like a browser history with MANY results that were sleek, thin, easy to click... Furthermore, you click on an artist and it doesn't allow you to see all songs from all albums and singles in a single playlist, instead it makes you have to click on each album! The organization of playlists on the left is atrocious, not to even mention your library which is now an utter mess... Connect with Facebook? And how long is that gonna stay in my way until I actually connect my Facebook? Huh?! That's a LOT of wasted space, FORCING you to connect your Facebook. This update was FORCED to users, with no warning, no heads up, it automatically does it itself and does not have a setting or ask for permission to update, and now I have asked Spotify to help me rollback, and they couldn't get me the original version I liked, instead they gave me an ancient version of Spotify. And removing the visualizer and visuals on songs, I LOVED that and they took it away. Like one song I used to listen to called "Easy" would make butterflies flutter across screen with nice lightshows, streams of colours, and multiple angles, etc... It was a BEAUTIFUL touch back then, what happened?! Now it's gone and it makes me sad they keep downgrading this application. They need to add those visuals back WITH THE ABILITY TO TURN IT ON AND OFF MIND YOU!! Devs, If you would, please take a moment to read your forums, and reddit about the Apr-Mar 2021 update and witness the frustrations, instead of experimenting on us like Guinea pigs how about they add more USEFUL instead of useLESS features, song visuals/gifs that are high quality, a visualizer, custom skins and themes, equalizers, settings for Surround sound, more device support. PLEAASSSEEE stop touching the UI! No touchy, or whackity smack! Do not touch that, no!! Stop, please stop doing this to people...  NONE OF US USE A 1990 COMPUTER THAT CANNOT HANDLE IT!! So why are we trying to make the desktop lighter on resources?! You're talking 2021, we all use good computers. At least good enough to handle this app LOL!!!!!!!! Now, with how much research and study they do, you'd think they'd know better than this, what are they doing though? Having middle school script kiddies work on this??? Anyone here know how to make websites and script, make things PROFESSIONALLY that have a brain, were taught in school with highest degrees, and are capable or making people cry at their perfect craftsmanship, please go help these guys out... Spotify team doesn't know what they're doing... You will have to excuse me being royally angry, and blunt as a blow to the head, but it's needed... Who is in charge of all this?! ... View more

We need all songs to have the lyrics in their original language i.e korean, spanish, italian. As well as having the option to see them translated in the users native language and having the option to view the romanized lyrics.

A couple of years ago Spotify removed the feature that tells you how many songs are in your playlists. This was a very useful and simple feature that I don’t know why was ever removed.  As far as I can see there is literally no way to see how many songs are in your playlists unless you go through and count each and every one.  I think Spotify is the best so I’m probably going to stick with it but I don’t know why this feature was ever removed.  Why was this removed? This should be added back, it’s so simple.  ... View more

I would like to be able to share multiple playlists with people, but without having to send multiple links.   It would be beneficial for both parties. An example of how this would be good for the receiving party is, if this had already been implemented, my friend could have received the two playlists that I made for him in one easy to get to place. Since users would receive the folders to their libraries, it would also be a pre-made way that people can organize playlists (by person).   The recipients should have the ability to add more playlists to it (Ex., more playlists by the sender), but only have the ability to delete what they (recipients) added, and not have the ability to delete what was already there.   Also not affecting the senders' folders, what was added by the recipients should also only show up in the recipients' folders. Although, the recipients should be able to remove the folders, from their libraries, by way of the three dots, which should have other options, like playlists do.   Removing the folder should not "unfollow" the playlists; they should automatically go into the library, like any other playlists. That may be the goal of people removing the folder, so "unfollowing" should be done separately. ... View more
