Remember before the update that got rid of the old Your Library tab? Yeah, bring that back. I want an artist's tab that shows every artist in my library, not just the followed ones and then a random list of all the other artists I have saved.  And the songs tab. None of this playlist with every possible song in it garbage. And please, most of all, PLEASE bring back the list view of recently played everything!  Albums, artists, playlists, whatever it be.  And if course, the ability to SAVE AN ALBUM.  I don't listen to track based artists. I LISTEN TO ALBUMS. So let me save that album with one click.  The new user interface is probably great for some people. I hate it. Reddit hates it. So, just give us a nice little button we can press in settings to select which UI we want to use. Please, it's been 1 day and I hate the new UI. It feels like I list a bunch of stuff for the podcasts tab. I don't listen to podcasts. So give me the option to change it.  Please spotify. I'm begging you.  I love the statistics I get through you guys, I love the end of year review, but this UI makes me want to check out Apple music or sound cloud go or something else.  ... View more

There should be an Equalizer for the Desktop version of Spotify. Since Spotify's mobile apps now have an EQ setting, this should be implemented on the desktop version, too! The EQ should come with various presets but also the ability to save your own custom settings. ... View more

In the most recent spotify update, any catagory of music except for "Albums" and "Artists" has been removed. "Artists" now only shows the artists you follow, and "Albums" now only show full albums that you have saved (so if you have one or two songs saved in that album, it won't show up there). There is currently no way to change this back to the old layout, and this is inconvenient if you would like to see your entire library under "albums" and "artists."    Spotify should, consequently, either return to the previous layout or add an option for these two tabs to organize your entire library. This will make it far more convenient for Spotify users to access their library, as well as listen to music from specific albums or artists without being forced to listen to the entire discography of an artist or an entire album if they do not wish to do so.   Attached belowis an image the new layout for reference.   ...

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

I never expected to have to post this but the new Spotify update has outraged me so much I'm forced to bring my issues up here, in the hope that Spotify will do something about it.    The new update has done nothing but send the app (both desktop and mobile) backwards and has just become less accessible as it no longer works in the way you expect a music player to do so.   Firstly, no longer being able to view your saved library songs by artists is something that baffles me. I've always got to the music I want to listen to this way and it was a great way to shuffle all saved songs of one particular artist. Now you choose which artists to follow and that only takes you through to the artist page.    Also now when you save an album to your library you can only access them through the albums section. All the songs within the album aren't added to the song section. Like, seriously. You save the album, but not the very songs that make up the album. Therefore if you want to access the album in both places you have to save it as an album, then save each song individually as well.   Don't fret though as the albums you saved before the update are still in both sections. But, wait... If you want to remove one of those albums from you library, the songs will remain and you are left to remove each one individually. Lovely.   This is all before I've got to the specific issues with the mobile app (for me Android). Another side-effect of the change to artists in your library you can no longer download all the saved music you have under a specific artists. So you have to download each album/song. It's also really hard to navigate to specific albums/songs you have downloaded - so there's that as well.    Want to filter your library down so you can get to exaclty what you listen to? Well you can't do that any more.    As much as I've ranted in this I really just want the old Spotify back. I used to use it everyday without fail: in work, at home, on the move. All the artists, albums and songs I love so much all easy to access on the app. I've been more reluctant to use it recently as it's just not accessible any more. It seems it's been angled more for those who create and listen to playlists - which is not everyone.    For the first time ever I started to look at what other options I have available in terms of accssing and playing music. I really hope I don't have to move elsewhere and that Spotify sort this out soon.      ... View more

Playlists that are based on a specific mood / vibe / setting / topic / instrument / etc, are pretty common, but what if you heard a new song that fits into multiple playlists, and you want to add it to all of them? You'd have to do it manually, one by one. This can get tedious very fast when you have many playlists for different occasions.   What I'm suggesting is the ability to add tags (that are only visible to the tagger, unless shared) to songs, and create playlists that would automatically be updated with songs that are tagged with a specific tag, or a specific set of tags, or at least one of several sets of tags.   To demonstrate, here's a toy example for a few playlists that could utilize this feature: 1. 80s pop - includes any song tagged with both "80s" and "pop" 2. 90s pop - includes any song tagged with both "90s" and "pop" 3. 90s rock - includes any song tagged with both "90s" and "rock" 4. 90s favorites - includes any song tagged with "90s" 5. fun songs - includes any song tagged with "fun" 6. Instrumental mellow rock - includes any song tagged with all three: "instrumental", "rock", "mellow" 7. Acoustic strings - includes any song tagged with "acoustic" and at least one of the following: "guitar", "violin", "cello", "ukulele" 8. Birthday party mix - songs tagged with "my all time favorites" and "fun" and "pop"   Now whenever I tag a song with "90s", it would be added to the "90s favorites" playlist automatically. Then if I tag it "rock", it would also be added to "90s rock".   I could go on with the examples, but hopefully the idea is clear by now. ... View more

This new updated library is terrible. There is nothing good about it, except mabye being able to filter playlists. Here's the main things which are causing an issue: All our artists are gone. They now have to be followed to appear in the library, which takes ages. Additionally, once followed it seems to save all songs from the albums - when I listen to an album I curate it and remove the songs I don't like from my library. So now I can't simply shuffle an artist without hearing ALL their songs!  There seems to be a similar problem with the Albums tab. I now essentially don't use the Artists or Albums tab as it shows all the songs from said album, including ones I'd previosuly unsaved. So thats great... The lovely alphabetical scroll bar is gone! Now I can't quickly scroll to the artist/song by alphabetical order, and have to search in the search bar. Waaaay more unecessarily complicated. The recently played section of my library is gone! I always used this to quickly access artists I'm listening to alot. Spotify claims that this is now on the home page - not really. Sure it has recently played artists, but if you select these it simply takes you to the artists home page - again not the curated artists page of your personal library. Please, please, I'm paying £10/month for this rubbish. Either change back to the old library, or have an option in settings whereby the user can decide which is best for them and choose accordingly. I've been a Spotify subscriber for 6 years, mabye its time to try Apple Music...   ... View more

Hello Spotify, very annoyed with your new update. I spent years trimming down albums, removing songs I didn't like so I could play the album just as I liked. With your new update, all removed songs have been added back to the albums, now instead I have to go searching through a huge playlist to attempt to play the album as I originally setup. Very annoying and find the whole update and new system has ruined the app. So much so I'm currently looking at other options.  Can you return the original options, or let me know how I can restore the previous version so I can listen back as I spent years setting up. Not good at all!!!   ... View more

Spotify so far does not send confirmation email to change email address, and hackers can easily change the email address without clicking the confirmation link from original email inbox.   The original owner cannot reset the password because the email address is already changed to a fake one.   Please send a confirmation link to the original email address, in order to change the email address to a new one. ...

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 new update is awful. The artists tab should include saved artists, not just those we follow. The albums tab should show albums that just have a few songs saved again. And the recently played should be more prominent. Give us the option to view the whole album art on screen and only that. Stop removing features!   The more complicated options we have as users to organize and view our library, the better. I signed up for spotify because it felt designed for people who are serious about listening to and organizing music. The most recent update, along with smaller changes over the last year, are ruining the experience.   PLEASE undo the changes to this last update, particularly how artists and albums are grouped. I have never considered Apple Music previously but I am looking into it after this. There are so many benefits to Spotify but it feels like they are slowly being lost to dumb “silicon valley” type trends in app design.    Feels like Spotify is waging a war on the idea of keeping a music library at all. Please stop. ... View more

The new update is terrible.    Problems:   1. The artist page is not in alphabetical order 2. Liked songs playlist holds only liked songs, not albums saved.      It should be understood that if I save an album I like those songs. I do not need to go and like each song individually.  3. Recently played should be brought back 4. There is a lot of glitches with not downloading music I requested to download. 5. It is way too hard to find the music you just downloaded.    Please return to the old version or find a way to fix these problems.            ... View more

Hello Spotify,   My app interface just changed a few days ago, and the whole "albums" management system happend to change at the same time. A lot of people are browsing the songs they listen to by albums, and i honestly think that removing non-fully saved albums from this library was not the greatest idea since every one of them are now only available somewhere lost deep in the "Titles/tracks" library. Are you considering keeping that change ? Thanks a lot for reading :).   Aleqs ... View more

Let me say that I think much of the new UI update is fine, and includes some good ideas! Unlike other posts here, I’m not advocating Spotify just “go back” to the old UI.    Allowing people to *filter* their artists into just those they follow is a great idea! Having just songs that are directly liked go into the liked songs playlist is a good idea!   But those should be *separate* from the way you access the songs you save to your library. Almost everyone I know who uses Spotify used it the same way iTunes, iPods, google play, Apple Music, basically any digital form of listening to music has ever worked: you save songs or albums or part of an album to your music collection, and then you can access those same set of songs by the artists’ names, albums’ names, song titles etc. The new update ruined this experience for many, many users, and effectively destroyed my library as I had grown it.    The goal of the new additions, in giving users new ways to group their music, is fine! Great even, but there was no need to take away other functionality. The old way and the new way didn’t have to be mutually exclusive. Saving a song could be differientiated from liking it! More options are better, removing functionality is bad.    I have no problem with the aesthetic changes to the UI, or the other changes to the way certain functions have been regrouped. The podcast changes seem positive! I do miss the way recently played was previously listed vertically, but could live without that.    But for the love of music, PLEASE re-integrate the library as it’s own saved collection you can access via artist name, song name, and album name, separate from liked songs or followed artists. Allowing these options to exist side by side would truly make spotify better than it has ever been.  ... View more

Hello There,   I have been using your service for many years now. When I began it was very simple. Search an artist, find a song/album you want, add it to your "library". I would go to my library and could scroll through my artists (i particularly loved the letters on the side of the screen that made it even faster to scroll around).    I am not here to criticize the changes that have been made lately (to the mobile app, specifically for iOS), but I personally do not find the changes to be beneficial, nor are they very user friendly. They do not really make sense to me, and I am getting frustrated with the current set up. I believe it would be very cool to offer a legacy format to the application which would make my library act more like a windows media/itunes library. I find it far more intuitive, easier to navigate and I do not believe that it would interfere with your current algorithms that provide recommendations and the discover weekly (both of which are amazing and beautiful tools).    I want to reitterate that I love your service and hope to continue being a patron, but I am very frustrated personally with the few latest big patches (last 9 months or so). Current layout is far from intuitive, I do not wish to follow most of the groups that I enjoy. The "your release radar" was perfectly fine for knowing when new albums came out. Maybe adding that as a listed playlist in "playlist" section of my "library" would be a more effective place for it to be. I am not a programmer, or developer, but I do spend a lot of time using various app and program interfaces and have been in the music scene since the early (glory) days of Napster. Not that that makes me anyone special.    Hope this helps. I really would apreciate a Legacy option, I think it would be particularly helpful to an older crowd, i could imagine them having a lot of difficulty with the current interface.   Thank you for your time, Brennan (54rc45m) ...

I'm really surprised about the removal of the "recently played" feature. This was a huge part of how I use the mobile app, and a standout feature for Spotify. The update to the Your Library page has a number of problems, but the loss of the "recently played" list is close to a deal breaker. I'd love to move my entire family plan to an app that has a useful UI. ... View more
