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.   ...

Hi,   I have a collaborative playlist with a friend that we both like. However, we both want to share the playlist with other people BUT we don't want them to be able to edit it. The issue with a collaborative playlist ATM is that everyone has access.    My suggestion therefore is: Please make it so when you make a playlist collaborative, you can choose for everyone to be able to edit (like now) OR choose specific users that you give the rights to edit the playlist.    Spotify is an amazing program and I honestly cannot believe this has not yet been added.  ...

Spotify is a fantastic service and it's by far my favourite app. As a listener I love the simplicity of the interface, the various playlists and genres that allow me to discover music that I would never in a million years find on my own, the vast catalogue of artists, and just the ease with which it allows me to have access to almost any music I desire.   But Spotify could be so much more. Spotify could enable fans to connect with artists in ways that have never been available to them before. Spotify could be a service that allows artists, no matter how big or small, to grow and flourish. And Spotify could be the first streaming service to corner the live streaming music market.   I have a proposal that I think solves a number of problems that there currently are with the service and just improves the service in general.   Problems -It is widely believed that artists do not receive sufficient revenue relative to a)the number of people who listen to their music and b)Spotify and the big labels/distributors etc that facilitate the disseminating of their work -Besides buying merch, listeners currently have no means to financially support an artist directly through the Spotify service either as a donation or a small tip for them enjoying the music. -Spotify currently has no presence when it comes to live gigs.   Solution I believe a system somewhat similar to Twitch's 'bits' could solve all of these problems and allow Spotify, artists, and listeners to grow and come together.   Attached is a proposal of how I envision it could work (I've also included an imgur link as the attachment isn't large enough in my preview)(apologies for the photoshopping skills). I welcome any comments on improvements or just feedback in general. I truly believe implementing this or something very similar is a win win for all involved and could potentially revolutionise music for developing artists and listeners.   It's called 'Beats'.       Larger image: https://i.imgur.com/Gf4AcYp.png ...

Music is meant to be shared. However, one often receives a song or album suggestion at a time when they are unable to give it the listen it deserves. I propose Spotify creates a “Shared With Me” playlist that automatically detects any song that has been shared with you much like how Google Drive functions. Songs can be shared within the app and you’ll receive a notification that a new tune has been added to this playlist and serve as a queue created by fellow music enthusiasts. Please vote for this much needed Spotify feature to support more music getting more listens.   ... View more

Military men and women who are deployed often do not have access to internet.  Spotify will delete their playlists and music that is downloaded if they have gone 30 days without conntecting to the internet.  Most the time when they are deployed they do not have intenet connection for more than 30 days and are unable to redownload their music which means they spend a good portion of the time while deployed with no music.   Music is an essential vise while deployed and I know many people who would be extremely grateful if there was a way to keep music longer than 30 days without internet.  ...

In the past, I was able to select an artist radio, and then I could like or dislike songs based on my preference to slowly mold the station into these really awesome stations. Recently I have noticed that any artist station, song station, or any saved station I have made have lost the ability to like or dislike songs. The like and dislike functionality still appears in playlists like my discover weekly, but it is gone from the stations I have been molding for years. For example I had a Rage Against the Machine radio that had my preferences for over a year I would listen to at the gym. Now, the songs change each day, but there is no way for me to have a say in them. I know for a fact many songs I have disliked in the past have appeared in these playlists, and this was never an issue up until recently. The algorithm for editing these stations was fantastic, and I'm really bummed to see it disappear. I would love to see it come back.  ... View more

Holy moly this new update for the phone is horrendous. The recently played artist is no longer a scrollable list, it is pictures you need to swipe thru. Then they remove artists and everything else but Title and recently added as ways to search. Im giving them one week to fix this update and then I am looking for a new music platform. This is not user friendly anymore. ... View more

Unless I'm missing a feature in my Spotify app for iOS, I can no longer access my library. I have access to the playlists and "liked songs", but I can longer search through the artists/albums that I've previously downloaded. I am now left with the ability to add artists and albums, but I have to sift through EVERYTHING that comes with the artist, as well. I can go into my playlists to search for a specific artist, but if I want to listen to everything that I have from that artist, I now have to add it to the queue instead of just playing it all and leaving it to run on its own. This most recent update has become more of a nuisance than anything and has created several additional steps just for me to enjoy the music. While the discovery aspect of it sounds good on paper, the delivery was just off. You could add a fourth section at the bottom of the app to enable the discovery section AND the old library section. ... View more

The current maximum duration for student discount on Spotify is 4 years total. Unfortunately this does not fully cater for part time students, who can spend a minimum of 6 years completing their degree. It also does not cater for those studying Masters or PhDs. It would be great to be able to increase this duration by the number of years the student is actually studying, not just the 4 years currently allowed.  ... View more

My idea is to have a live number count on songs. Meaning,when we listen to a song we can see a number count of the amount of people listening to the same song from around the world at the same time. I feel like it would be very interesting to view. It would also be quite fun.  ... View more

I've been trying to figure out how to add Hulu to my family plan. I did the chat and was advised that this does not come with the family plan just the premium and student plan. Now I feel that is a little unfair. We pay 14.99 a month for this. We should be able to have the same incentive like the other plans. Your going to make us pay 20 bucks for Spotify and hu while people get that for free with the premium plan for 9.99 🤔 ... View more

I suggest a separate option to disable Canvas videos without the need to turn Data Saver on .   The only current way to disable Canvas videos is by turning the Data Saver mode on. Oddly, this option also prevents you from selecting Medium and High audio quality.   I choosec to give my money to Spotify because they are an audio service that provides high quality music. How stupid is it for a music service to add a video feature that can only be disabled by degrading the music quality?   Very counterintuitive. ... View more

My request is pretty straightforward and has been something I've wanted for years in music apps. It's the concept of a "true" shuffle mode, where nothing is determined ahead of time. At the end of a track, the next track has been randomly determined from the entire playlist. This makes it much better in cases where you're listening to large playlists (i.e. 100 tracks or more) over several sessions (i.e. driving to work).   The current shuffle mode seems to work in a way where it shuffles the order of your playlist ahead of time, and needs to wait to cycle through the entire playlist before you might hear a track again. You might have a couple of favourite songs which would usually take forever to cycle back around.   The UI for this would be pretty simple; in the same way you can hit "Repeat" twice to toggle on "Repeat All" or "Repeat One", you could hit "Shuffle" twice to toggle on "True Shuffle" (shown with a small "T" in a circle, like the 1 in "Repeat One").   I ran this idea across friends and family over the years, and they all said it would be something they would use. Sometimes it's too long to wait for 500 songs to play before you get a chance at hearing one of your favourites again. Even worse, you might hear a song within the first 10 tracks, wait 490 more, and then be placed at the end of the next randomly shuffled order (and wait 800 tracks or more). ... View more

The February 6th 2019 update has completely wrecked this app for me. Used to when I wanted to listen to my saved music all I had to do was hop on over to the music library, go to the artist tab, and boom anything I had saved and wanted to listen to was right there at my fingertips. Close to 1700 songs by various artists. However, Spotify thought it would be more convenient for the artist tab to take you to the artists page, which is completely inconvenient. The past few weeks has been very frustrating dealing with this, as I spend 3/4 of my day listening to music. Just want to know if they are planning on fixing this or not because it makes me seriously consider giving my money to a different music app. ... View more
