Update 17/2/14 - Almost 2 years ago I submitted this idea, and in the last few weeks, the number of Kudos email notifcations I receive daily is getting even more frequent. Thanks to everyone who keep's voting it up, I didn't think it would get 10 votes let alone over 1,000! Clearly it's popular but not as straight forward to develop hence the 'Not Right Now' status from Spotify, but keep the voting! The most rated ideas are getting developed and it's just a matter of time before this one does too.    Thanks!   ------------------   I'd like to see a miniplayer and mini controls for Spotify that could sit in the taskbar (Windows and Mac!)   The idea came about, after I kept maximising and minimising Spotify just to see my play queue and sometimes jump down a few . This is my solution making it a less obtrusive way of seeing what's coming up and track jumping.      ... View more

Over the last few weeks more and more users are getting a random string of characters as usernames, even if they specified a normal one during sign up. No one on the community website is getting any info from Spotify as to what is going on. During a chat with support I was told: "As part of the long-term plans to remove the username from the sign-up flow, we started rolling out the new sign-up option, with display name instead of a username on the Web page." This does not really answer why we are expected to give people gibberish if we want to connect to our friends, nor why this major change has been implemented without any information going to the public. So my idea is: Don't Do That. Don't make us use gibberish to connect to people, don't make us use gibberish to sign in, don't ask us to choose a username then ignore our requests and replace them with gibberish, and don't make these kinds of changes without informing us as to what you are doing, why you are doing it, and what benifit it may have for us.   ...

The new change from the "Songs" playlist to "Favorite Songs" is not only pointless but really confuses the original purpose of the "Songs" library. Many users used the "+" icon to save songs they were interested in, but not all of the songs users saved were "Favorite Songs". My system, for one, was to save songs I kind of liked, then go through them later. The songs I thought were the best, I removed the "+" and put those songs into another playlist entirely. So, none of the songs on that playlist are actually my favorite song and now I'm going to have difficulty returning to this system when all of these songs have hearts on them and are labeled "Favorite Songs".   Just go back to the way it was. Honestly Spotify, there are so many more important changes to implement and you do this? ... View more

The Playlist is a very special collection to base a Radio on, unlike Song, Artist or Album, since none of these represent a personal music choice the way a Playlist do. The Playlist Radio is therefore unique among Radios in Spotify, and it's removal from the Android app took away a combination of personalization, situation and variation that no other option provides.    It has been there, and should be easy to bring back. I'm sure a lot of loyal users would be happy to get this back.  ... View more

The idea for Spotify Groups is one premium member can host a queue. Other members would be able to join by putting in a code given to the hosting member. After the code is entered, the new members will be able to add songs to the queue. The host would be able to change the order of the queue and remove songs. The host would also be able to give permission to change the order and remove songs to other individual members who have joined the group. Spotify Groups would be perfect for a party or just a casual get together with friends. Imagine you and a couple of your friends all hanging out and no one person is responsible for the music, you all just add to the queue whenever you think of a good song. ... View more

Hi there community, I would like it if there was a way to not only use the like and dislike buttons in Spotify Radio, but also being able to indicate whether you just don't like a particular song or if it's the artist you don't like. I would love to see it implemented. ... View more

Hi guys,   I've been using the Android app for a bit. To be honest, the UI feels a bit dated and doesn't really fit the Holo design guidelines which you can find here. One example of a really nice redesign is attached to this post.   Thanks for considering this.   EDIT: Now that Lollipop has been released along with the Material Design Guidelines, I think it would be a good idea to update the UI to fit these guidelines. A nice redesign is now attached to this post. ... View more

So I had an idea last week having to do with comparing music taste with friends. I've already seen (and love) the idea of having an automatic mutual songs playlist you can connect with a friend's account, but a cool addition I also thought of would be to add what percentages your music taste is in common. This could either be individual or between the two. Individual might say I listen to 62% Indie Folk, 20% alternative rock and 18% pop (changes with what you play overtime). And I can compare it with my friend's percentages. The other option would be for it to calculate what percentage overall your music taste is similar. This might look like "you and --- share 78% taste in music based on genre" or something along those lines. (It could also list what artists you both listen to etc.) It could be played around with a bit to make it most interesting and accurate!  ... View more

The Star feature should be complemented with a way to mark tracks as excluded. Those tracks would then be skipped even when included in the current playlist. This way the enjoyment of a good album wouldn't be disrupted by tracks you don't like, while the album in its entirety can still be kept in the playlist. The Anti-star can easily be implemented as a flipside to the regular star as they are mutually exclusive. Click the star once, the track becomes a favorite. Click again, the star icon changes to the anti-star and click a third time and either flag is gone. A no-brainer to me. ... View more

 Playlist Organization! Users should be allowed to organize their playlists (followed/created) in whatever order they want. Or even add an alphabetical order feature for playlists so it is easier for users with a lot of playlists to find the one they want to play. ... View more

I´m using Spotify when I study, because of the great selection of music to focus with. But I´m really getting tired of this affecting my discover weekly and release radar-playlists, since I only listen to classic/instrumental music when I´m studying, and not in my everyday life. I was thinking about making a "studysession" alternative, that would work almost like a private session, except that the songs you listen to when your studysession is active dont effect your discover weekly or release radar. If you want them to be effected, you simply dont turn on studysession.  ... View more

Their should be an option to shuffle play MULTIPLE selected playlists at once. A lot of my friends and I sort our playlist by genre and a lot of times I want to listen to multiple genres mixed in a shuffle. I think it'd be a great feature and I hope others agree. ... View more

My Dear and beloved Spotify users upvote this as much as you can. Spotify you need to reconsider your premium family subscription address restriction removal as a not right now to a an immediate yes I can say for sure you didn’t get my money because the issue, it is an inconvienece for service members and those alike and other hard working mobile families where home isn’t always in one place I garuantee if you made family plans to be world wide, Apple Music  and Pandora  would be shaking in their boots they would lose so much money and customers but right now you have hundreds if not thousands of customers whom are holding off on your family premium plan because the address restriction this is a serious issue. Please work on this and don’t give it a band-aid Solution as a not right now think of your valued customers and their family’s and your cooperations future. It would be a shame to see these articles catch heat and other competitors notice and beat you to the punch and you lose customers also money and to the ideas we’ve been asking you to implement. RISK AND FAILURE IS THE PATH TO SUCCESS. This is something your valued customers know we took a risk with Spotify when it first became a platform competing with other companies please understand we are asking as apart of the Spotify family and community to grow, enhance, and  better our Spotify community and family.  A Very concerned Service Member and loyal Spotify Customer.  People upvote so we can get this changed !!!!   ...

A common situation:   1) You love Spotify so much, you use it every single day.   2) You find a good song and you save it to Your Music, where you already have zillions of songs   3) So you also want this song into your playlists, which you kinda sort songs by a personal criteria that works for you   3) But this song happens to fit several of your playlists.. and you wonder:   Q1: Is this song already in my playlists? Q2: If so, in which one/ones?   Here's a simple solution:      1 ) right-click any song    2 ) show ✔ next to the playlists that contain that song         Extra features (1):  Add how many times a song is repeated in the playlist:       Extra features (2): Show  ♫ if a song is in your playlists :     With this feature you could browse any user playlist or any search result and figure out which songs are in your playlists at once, without checking each of your playlists manually.   Do you like the idea? Give it some kudos! =) Thanks, Albert ... View more

Hey all,   I have noticed that my eyes strain to see Spotify during the day and in dark area's because of the dark theme. My proposal is that Spotify can make a light theme for those android users who cannot invert colors easily. It would definitely boost people's usage of Spotify if we could have a light theme. (Yes, I know there is an idea posted 5 years ago, please just give this a chance.)    Thanks, -J ... View more

As soon as the number of Spotify playlists I created started to grow, I realized that I could use folders to organize them more comfortably. I loved to see all of my different playlist personalized covers appear in my computer or phone as soon as I opened the app. However, now that I use folders, all I see are grey squares until I get to the actual playlists. I wonder if an option for folders could be added where we are able to add an image to them. This would be useful but also pretty logical, since this option is already available for playlists. ...
