Dear Spotify   staff, Many fans including myself feel disappointed by boy group BTS' name being brought up in K-pop girl group BlackPink's spotify   profile. I am sure the writer of BlackPink's spotify profile description meant no harm, but mentioning one artist's name in another's profile description is something we found quite out of context and disrespectful.   -BTS and  BlackPink  are both talented groups   in their own authentic ways   and associating them with eachother for a fact as trivial as the one that they're in the same music industry isn't fair because they're   completely different and hard working artists who   deserve to   be loved for themselves, their concepts and their own music, not because they 'resemble'  eachother . By associating them, that is likely to damage the artists' sense of authenticity and ruin it especially for the people who don't know them yet.   -This could and has led to new listeners concluding that 'BlackPink is the girl version of BTS' which is undeniably wrong and unfair on both groups. They are both unique and should be known as such.   -BlackPink is consisted of 4 artists who we respect. I will repeat it :  we BTS fans completely respect BlackPink and every hard working artist who is under YG Entertainment. But, their company YG Entertainment has been known for not being very kind to BTS back when they were underground artists. So I hope you understand that that's the biggest reason why we do not want YG to be given the chance of using BTS for their own promotion.   As one of the biggest music platforms in the world, I am sure you do not only want your listeners to be satisfied but also your artists to shine under the best light possible. Please take both groups' authenticity and hard work into consideration because saying that they sound that much alike is not the right way to do it. All we ask is for you to simply remove those 3 letters from BlackPink's  Spotify   profile description. Thank you for reading. ... View more

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

Hi, it is possible to put a dislike button everywhere on spotify and not only on daily mix playlists? (as in other apps like google music) Because the problem is some artists are presented even if you hate them and you can't dislike because the button doesn't exists. The button for exemple can be presented when we are looking for some musics directly on the album of an artist. It's like prevention in the face of music that we would not like to listen to later. ... View more

I'd very much like to be able to mark an artist as "Never play songs from this artist".   It really subtracts from the radio feature that i get some artists over and over again, no matter how much i thumb them down. Some artists i just NEVER!!! want to appear on my radios, i mean every damned thing that artist has ever done and ever will do, solo, in a band or whatever else thinkable way they could could possibly create music.   Yes, i truly, truly dislike Rihannas music. ...

Allow listeners of playlists and albums to provide feedback through an open commenting system of those playlists and albums. This is beneficial to both the creators and the listeners, improving the playlist quality as well as creating a connection between creators and their followers.   To help prevent the spread of unwanted profanity, a profanity filter could be implemented with a toggle setting under "Explicit Content", or somewhere else in the settings.   To prevent bots from spamming, I'd recommend implementing dual-factor authentication or restrict this feature to premium accounts. ...

Whenever I download an album, it automatically saves the entire album. But with the update, I have to also manually save every song on the album because by downloading the entire album, it now only goes to the Albums area but not the Liked Songs anymore. This is a problem because sometimes whenever I want to only save a few songs from an album, it only goes to the Liked Songs playlist, not to the Album area like what happens prior to the update. The ‘Recently Played’ is also removed from ‘Your Library’ , adding inconvenience to my listening experience. For example, I save 2 songs from the same album. Before the update, I could access these 2 songs from both the ‘Your Saved Songs’ and ‘Albums’ section. After the update, I could only access the 2 songs from the ‘Liked Songs’ playlist but not the ‘Albums’ section.  Please @__spo__ fix this!!!! ... View more

Having to follow all the artists that I ever added a song of in order for them to appear in my library under artists so I can browse them alphabetically is mindboggelingly stupid. I have many hunderds of artists of which many I don't remember the name. This will take me hours and I'll lose many cool songs which I discovered through playlists because of this.   You know what is wrong with the update (and it's more than I've written here but I can't be bothereed to list more things), just have look online, on this forum, on your twitter. Realise you made a bad, bad move and fix it. Quickly. I bet quite some subscribers are gone already, and many more, including me, will leave is this will not be adressed.   Realise you've made a mistake. Admit it. Revert / Fix it. Apologise to the people that pay you (the users) for the inconvenience. ... 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.   ...

A member of spotify team said to separate the FLAC idea post, into FLAC local playback and FLAC streaming. Someone else can create a FLAC streaming post, as I'm only after local playback. The original post with the 2 ideas in one post is here. http://community.spotify.com/t5/Spotify-Ideas/Flac-on-Spotify-at-least-playback-of-your-own-flac/idi-p/8555   Vote for this post if you want LOCAL PLAYBACK OF FLAC FILES ONLY.   WHY WE NEED SPOTIFY TO PLAY OUR FLAC COLLECTION Spotify already plays ALAC, all be it with stability problems, but what we really need is local FLAC playback because FLAC is the defacto standard for lossless audio encoding. 7digital has recently started selling FLAC yet spotify can't play them. Why not??? http://www.7digital.com/find-music/7digital-recommends/flac   The most commercially successful band on the planet (The Beatles), have released official remastered versions of all albums in 24bitFLAC format on a usb device. http://www.everythingusb.com/the-beatles-stereo-usb-limited-edition-17961.html Numerous bands have sold albums in FLAC format through their websites. FLAC is the defacto standard for lossless encoding, so please start supporting local playback of FLAC.   Another idea that is important to me is fixing the appalling "set the same volume level for all tracks", which doesn't take into account the subtle volume transients of an album that audio engineers spend hours working on. The following volume normalization method retains the intended volume differences as part of the album. http://community.spotify.com/t5/Spotify-Ideas/VOLUME-NORMALIZATION-IN-SPOTIFY-DAMAGES-INTEGRITY-OF-THE-ALBUM/idi-p/220712 ...

I used to be able to "Save" an album and go through and remove the tracks I didn't want, like live songs on a deluxe album.  Now that "Save" has been replaced with "Like", all the albums I had saved now include every song from the album with no way to remove them and even though "Like" is not selected for the songs I don't want it still plays everything on the album, not just the likes songs.  This is so frustrating.  I didn't have the songs saved for a reason, now I have no choice unless I want to turn all of my saved albums into seperate playlists.  Frustrating. ...

The app is very complete in every its part, but maybe something that is missing is the option to click on a button and know the name of the song that you are hearing on the radio, on the tv, or wherever you want. It is like the “Shazam” option, in order to know which is the name of the song and of the artist quickly while using Spotify Aiolo Alberto.  ... View more

Recently, my account email was accessed and changed by an unknown party. I get it, could have been my fault (password phishing, breaking, etc.). But, I think it could have been prevented with another factor of authentication.    I only noticed the change because I check my email quite frequently. I'm afraid that if I hadn't caught the change quickly, then I would have lost all authority on my account.   The email that replaced MY email was very obviously a throwaway email (unpopular/unknown host site, as well as a obvious random identifying name). I think that there an be some location (IP) based authentication system that checks if you have ever logged on Spotify at that IP or in that geographical location before.   ALSO, you could also have some cross reference database with known host sites or some algorithm that predicts the likeliness of an email account being real (data on the account, date created, etc.). Not sure how plausible this solution is, but it seems that there would be an easier way to identify these fraudulent changes. ... View more

I used to use Spotify a few years ago, and I want to use it again. However, it seems the feature to view all songs added to my library is gone. It is ridiculous to have to go through and like every song to create a playlist with all of my music. What happened to the feature allowing me to scroll through all of my songs and shuffle all? I want to come back to Spotify from Apple Music, but I refuse to use a platform that doesn't allow me to view and shuffle all of my music. I won't spend my time liking every song on every one of my playlists to put it in a playlist when there should already be a section dedicated to this. ... View more

This of course could be referenced to PS3 and Wii as well, but as a primarily 360 user I'm biased 😉 I'm hoping that something is in the works to bring Spotify to 360. Being that so many people have their gaming consoles setup through their home audio, it would really up the ante on the sound experience. As a premium user I use Spotify all the time but my living room is begging for it!   Heres to hopin! ... View more
