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.   ...

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

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

The removal of the Android Widget is a substantial step back for the Spotify experience on Android devices. The lock screen and drop-down time out while paused, and the lock screen interface has a history of not appearing despite Spotify being active. Additionally, when using the cross-device control, neither of the "replacement" interfaces reliably function as desired. Take the hit on this one, acknowledge that not all angles were considered, and re-introduce the Android Widget. Sure, you can come out the other side just fine without it, but it significantly mars your consumer-focused reputation. Don't harm the Android experience because Apple has a back-*ssward deathgrip on its platform. ... 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

With this new update, the new location/functionality of the 'Recently Played' list has negatively impacted how I listen to music in a big way. I'm going to be more specific with this request since apparently the last time this was requested and got 600+ votes, it was closed for a dumb reason.   I'm suggesting back the OLD recently played list to the library page. I'm suggesting this with full knowledge that you've already implemented another (worse) recently played list on the home page. The new list involves massive photos with much less emphasis on the names of the items but the artwork instead, that scroll horizontally (only showing 2-3 items at a time), with no ability to hide items, and on top of ALL that garbage: it requires an internet connection (it's on the home page of course). There's also not even a guarantee that this horizontal list will be at the top of your Home page because Spotify likes to put promoted content up there and shift everything else down - even though you pay money and don't want ads getting in the way of using the app normally.   And if you don't move this back to the library page, then how about somewhere else? Make it require a button press on the library screen to get to my recently played list for all I care. I just want my vertical OFFLINE list of songs back.   I'm hoping this maybe has a different response. The last time someone posted this idea they didn't acknowledge the fact that there is a new location for recently played and Spotify simply responded: "we moved it". This post isn't suggesting that there isn't a recently played list, it's suggesting that in its current form it sucks. ... 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

It would be very cool if there was a 'roadtrip mode' where you could enter the usernames of the people in the car, and generate a playlist of the songs most people in the car like based on shared music taste. It can be editable so people could still queue up songs, but just a baseline to go off of.  ... View more

The ability to click on a song that you have added to your playlist and see from where you downloaded it. For example, if you search a for a song that you have already added to your playlist previously, you would be able to see where you added it to your playlist from.  Ex. Click on the song and a little message in the corner allows you to see from where you downloaded it. This way you can sort songs in a playlist by searching from where you found that song. Ex. Search among a private playlist: "This is Michael Jackson" and all songs that you have added from that playlist will appear. "This is Michael Jackson" is an arbitrary playlist created by Spotify. ...

So when are you going to roll back to the previous version of the mobile app? Honestly, this has to be one of the single most unpopular updates I've ever seen birthed into this world. Did nobody who designed this stop for even a second and think that, amongst other things, removing the recently played section from library was, in fact, NOT a good idea? Nobody reckoned that would be a bad move?   Honestly, I've been using premium for 4, probably nearly 5 years now. But if there's no reverting to the previous version, or at the very bare minimum, a reinstatement of the recently played, I'm gone. Done. C'est fini! And no, the 4 or 5 albums on the home page "recently played" section do not count in the slightest. Especially considering one of them is the naff video explaining this terrible update. ... View more
