Please add a category for Indigenous Native American/Canadian music. There are so many talented artists that could use the platform for their music. Also, it would allow listeners to appreciate our culture. Thank you! ... View more

I love Spotify Wrapped! The only issue I see is that when you are like me and listen to music to help your sleep for example your wrapped is altered due to that. I think it would be awesome if they changed it next year so you could continue to listen to those but not have it change your wrapped so you can have a more accurate analysis of your listening patterns. ...

Hi Spotify,    I think it would be really neat to connect Fitbit and Spotify. That way, when I am listening to an audiobook, or anything, on Spotify as I'm going to sleep, there will be a note of where I was in my audiobook when I fell asleep. I know Fitbit doesn't track sleep under an hour but it will tell you what time you went to sleep once you sleep for more than an hour. So while it would be most ideal for the audiobook/music to stop playing as soon you fall asleep, the way that Fitbit works, the next best thing would be to note what time in a track I was in so I don't have to search what I last remember hearing of the story.   Also if I could look at my Fitbit to see what song is playing that would be cool.     ...

Am a Premium user, was told that Premium Users would be getting the use of their new idea for organization of the Your Library tab. Didn't really mind, don't see it as much needed. I have few qualms with it other than the fact that there is no longer a section for Recently Played albums/songs. This is a pretty major inconvenience for me, seeing as I have a human memory that likes to forget things on me. Having to create a Recently Played playlist for myself to update every time a new song comes on is pretty impractical and annoying. So, please bring back the Recently Played section/tab. Very useful.   Also, not extremely related, but the function to submit ideas seems hidden away in the tabs of the menu, itself hidden in a rabbit hole of non-expressive buttons (Help>Community>Menu>Ideas), and I was forbidden from posting on mobile (For not activating with my email? That's the first thing I did!). Not directly related to the app itself, but it felt like an issue I had worth mentioning. ... View more

You guys finally listened and implemented a sort-of lyrics system on Android now, Genius' "Behind the Lyrics" (BTL). Now, BTL sometimes shows lyrics, and sometimes shows Genius' explanations for why the lyrics that are being sung that moment are written. So the app can display the lyrics at the proper times already. Genius also already has the full lyrics to most songs in their database. Let us toggle it so it doesn't switch to the explanations. Just the lyrics. I like the explanations, don't get me wrong, but sometimes I want to see what they hear at a specific time, if I can't understand them the explanation won't help me. ... View more

Recently, Spotify has engaged in a streaming fraud purge that has gotten numerous songs removed, estimates range from 760k to 1m. Numerous artists have gotten their songs taken down for being included on fraudulent playlists that use streaming farms. Here's the thing, many of these artists did not ask to be included on these playlists, or had their songs put on their due to the actions of a PR agency, or other party. Artists will then have their song taken down, and their distributor will say that they cannot reupload with their service. Please 1) Provide artists more advance warning so they can rectify fraud situations, as not all cases are deliberate   2) Develop alternative corrective actions (ie, discount fraudulent streams from royalty payments) 3) crack down harder on the actual perpetrators here, the shady playlisters. On Twitter, i have seen several cases in which an artist will have their music taken down from a shady playlist, but the playlist is still up! Please consider 1) Manual authentication once playlists hit certain follower/listener thresholds 2) capcha's on listener accounts to stop bot farms. 3) focusing on detecting fraud accounts more so than artists using them ...

similar to the like button on Facebook, but like a thumbs up that expands to a small message box, next to your friends list, and the songs they are playing in real time. to say, Hey, I like the song you're listening to :thumbs UP, and hey, here's one you might like' message. onboard chatroom would be pretty sick! ...

Melancholia is the band of the moment in Italy. Their song "Lèon" is a hit and the new album "What are you afraid of?" is one of th emost sold album at the moment...BUT they are completely ignored by Spotify Italia that decide to not include any of their song in any Spotify playlist. What is the ratio behind this choice? We ask to include "Leon" and "Alone" in Spotify playlist such as "Italia in Alta Rotazione" and "Top hits Italia". Thank you ... View more

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

Spotify should tell you how many people on the app are playing to the same song you are while you are listening to it. So I'm listening to Ruby Tuesday by The Rolling Stones right now and somewhere on your Spotify app should tell you like "5,000 people are listening to this right now." Thought this would be a cool feature and could build a community if you see similar people with similar music taste.  ... View more

There could be a option to navigate through last playlists like the last 5 or even the last one. There are a lot of times where I can't list to all the playlist in the 7 days or I forgot to save some music and I just can't find them again. Or there could be a button to update this playlists when we don't need them anymore.  ... View more

So, I saw similar closed posts and I cannot believe this idea hasn't been implemented. It would be so good to have a section on the home screen to easily acess new content from favourite artists and based on my activity. Also, to have customized notifications (mobile app) to know when an artist that I follow releases new music. ... View more

I think there should be something along the lines of a night mode where a listener can listen to music and it won’t track it or keep record of it, this may sound weird but my reasoning is because I listen to piano music every night to help me sleep, I listen to it on a 2 hour timer but what happens is then a lot of my new music selections are piano music which is nice but I don’t listen to piano music in the day time I only listen to it to sleep, so most of not all of my weekly discover and quite a few of my daily mixes are piano. I think some things that could be added to this “night mode” are things like a timer built into the app and maybe all the playlists that are ment to aid in sleeping could be found in the night mode to make them easier to find, you could even add podcasts about things like how to better your sleep or even things like meditation or something like that. I think my main issue is that my doses of new music are mostly all piano music when I only use it to sleep, but someone who struggles with sleeping or meditation might find a new feature like this really helpful.  ...

Hello!    I'm reaching out because I found that the shuffle function within Spotify isn't randomizing songs enough. I'll find when listening to playlists that the same artist will be listed somes up to 4 songs in a row. So I'm wanting to bring this to awareness to possibly add in more complexity to the shuffle function and what it considers random.    Thank you for taking the time to go over this and I hope you have a great rest of your day! ...

With the release of WatchOS 7, it should now be possible for Spotify to add offline listening capabilities to the Spotify Apple Watch app (see Apple’s new AVFoundation: “Users can play locally-synced playlists or podcasts while on the go”). Please allow subscribers to download playlists to the watch itself so non-LTE watch owners can use the service solely with an Apple Watch and Bluetooth headphones.  ... View more

Please stop the rollout of your Stories feature. I learnt of this from a thread on Reddit with a report of you working on such implementation. In same thread there were thousands of people expressing dissatisfaction in the social media coming to their music app. The comments were extremely oppose to this feature.    The thradd is here    https://www.reddit.com/r/Android/comments/k2omj8/spotify_is_publicly_testing_its_own_version_of/gdviqun   After seeing nearly 10000 negative feedback before it's even finished, you should reevaluate such idea as not all people want social media in their music app. We don't want every app to be social. Please at least allow us to disable all of the social media element.  ... View more

Oh Spotify, you are a diamond in the rough, but you’re turning Spotify Wrapped into a lump of coal by releasing it prematurely!! All good things take time, sure, so taking a few days to prep stories and statistics makes sense. However, releasing wrapped on December 1st takes that argument away. A few ideas for your horizon brought to you by a hard thinking woman...   - Release Spotify Wrapped on the 1st of the next year, collecting statistics from part of or (wishfully, hopefully, prayerfully) the entire month of December, covering more of the year. New Years and Christmas are heavy music centered holidays, they must be counted!  - Spotify Wrapped released on Christmas (renamed Spotify Unwrapped? maybe not, that’s corny). This takes from the NYE music but if you all are set on releasing prior to January 1st of the next year this is just another baby idea. (we the people prefer the first idea, it is just mature to bring multiple ideas to a table)   Though these are my only ideas thus far, I stand strong. I stand united with my people who want an entire year of representation! We the people see too many false statistics in our media — be better than the rest Spotify, give us the truth we need.    In America we count every vote and every stream.  ... View more

Hello, It'd be great to drag a song up on a longer playlist and then have the playlist scroll up to accommodate the song being re-ordered higher on the playlist. This used to be available on the Desktop version of Spotify, but as of the latest update to the user interface, no longer works. Songs that are being re-ordered on a playlist can only be dragged to the top of a screen before it must be selected and dragged again. I have a playlist of my top 500 favorite songs ranked in order, so it's difficult when I discover a new favorite song that belongs in my top 100--I can't drag it all the way up like I used to be able to.   Interestingly enough, dragging a song downwards through a longer playlist still works, so hopefully this isn't too much of a hassle to implement.   Thank you! ...
