I have used a big screen for years now, right now a 4K 50" with Ambilight which is great for a party feeling when I want that. I use Spotify daily and I have tested several third party apps but I really don't like any of them. Especially since I have to tab back and forth to change songs, see what is playing or what time a certain part of a song is, add songs, delete songs, see what artist is playing, and much more.    I have been a faithful premium subscriber for about 10 years now and this is the one thing I really would like to ask for in return. The new desktop update looks amazing on a big screen and the last thing to complete it would really be a built in visualiser.  Please, please, PLEASE Spotify. Add this feature and make me and so many more fans happy. It would really change the experience for the better. ... View more

This idea is not new. Actually it was suggested multiple times through the past years. But each time it was closed because of allegedly not gathering enough votes. BEFORE you close this one as well, let me guide you to one of the original suggestions, which has plenty (1000+) of votes, and is still receiving a lot of interest, but apparently is on the ignore list: https://community.spotify.com/t5/Live-Ideas/Browse-Allow-to-change-Country-Origin-Suggestions/idc-p/5212431 Please do some consolidation housework and check how many times this was already suggested but never acted upon. I guess I could come up with a dozen links in short time, but that's actually your job, not mine. tl;dr What I am getting: Content suggestions only in German language because my residence (IP address) is there. What I want: Content suggestions based on my chosen language preference because that's what I want to listen to. ... View more

It is asinine that I pay $10 a month and still have valuable space on my homepage taken up by advertisements for podcasts I could not care less about.   No, I don't want to learn about voter suppression or see the best of the Joe Rogan experience. Get this garbage off of of my homepage. I use the "jump back in" section regularly, and it is infuriating to have to scroll past a useless advertisement to get to something I actually find useful. This is not an acceptable way to treat paying customers  ... View more

I subscribed to the Premium Family plan for streaming music. It seems that more and more podcast content is being pushed. We do not want podcast content and would like an option to hide all podcast content from Made for You, searches, and other recommendations. ... View more

I add a lot of songs to my playlists and when I throw them on shuffle (one in particular that's 1.4k+ tracks) I often get the same songs that circulate, and others kind of go "stale" as they almost never appear in the queue. Was wondering if we could get an option to shuffle songs that we haven't listened to in a while within a certain playlist? ... View more

This idea has been posted and archived before, but there are no current ones out. I think it would be so helpful to be able to add notes to specific songs in your playlists or downloaded songs - whether to tell a friend why you added it to a shared playlist, denote why you like it or who it reminds you of, or add characteristics of the songs (bpm, good chorus, etc.). A small amount of text next to each song would be super handy and cool. I cannot find a third party that does this for Spotify, either. Thank you for reading! ... View more

Commenting from 2021. Shuffle algorithm still sucks. Despite it has being "fixed" back in 2016 and again in 2018. I have 2400+ songs on my list. And right now I am listening for songs I've listened two days ago in the same order they came then.   It seems that it is stuck in a same queue forever. It has being randomised at some point, but when I switch between desktop and mobile (multiple times a day) it starts the same queue again? Or it just runs the same 50 songs round and round again? There are songs I have not being seeng for months or longer. I expect shuffle to be truly random. When I am shuffling the playlist I expect the shuffle to cover whole playlist, not 5% of it to be repeated over and over again. If true random is too hard to implement (really?), sort the songs by last access date and pick something that has not being played for longest time. In a random order. PS Looks like a small issue? It is irritating as **bleep**. PSS No, I have no hard evidence on the matter, I hardly will log every song I listen to just to look for repetition patterns. It is enough that I remember I have heard that song while talking to my kid two days ago. And next one. And next one. PSSS IT SUCKS!  Sincerely yours, really **bleep** off paying client. ...

Ever wanted to send Spotify users a song directly through the app? Find the whole share via other messaging apps to be very tedious, inconvenient, and just much? Want to send chats to members of the Spotify community (whether online or on app) in order to talk about the common interest of music? Well, this post contains the solution! - Essentially, this Spotify Messaging feature would be accessible for all users, regardless of status, and the Spotify messages could be sent to anyone, but the person who receives the message has the option of reading/replying OR discarding if irrelevant. It would be a very convenient inclusion, so if you agree with me or even if you are skeptical, give this a vote and give it a shot! You might just like it in the end! :') ... View more

Yes, I'm aware that this is a duplicate issue from the litany of other requests by the same name. Please actually do listen to the community about this request rather than just filing it away and wiping your hands clean.   One of the most sought after functionalities with Spotify among these forums is the ability to download music for offline use to the Apple Watch. We have asked for this feature for years now. Your competitors (Pandora, Deezer, Apple Music) allow for offline listening on the Apple Watch.   We just want to be able to go on a run and not need cellular data. Please Spotify, any barebones functionality would do wonders for the community. ... View more

It's been many months since Apple opened 3rd party applications to the HomePod. Pandora has done this as well as many other services. Can Spotify please do this already? It's seriously thinking of switching streaming services. ... View more

I cannot listen to new music, particularly a new band here, since if I listen to one or two songs the algorithm thinks I love the band, and even if I ended up hating the music, I get fed those songs in daily playlists, and there is no way to stop it. A dislike button on all songs being played would help this. Pretty simple idea, all other music streaming companies have it. This actually applies to all platforms and all categories since the button should be every time a song is playing, just a like button should be present (and usually is). ... View more

You created Duo Plan & Family Plan. Yet Spotify hasn't implemented it fully. Netflix did.   It is too much of an effort to do a logout & login just to switch playlist for another family member on a single device. This will be my reason why I will cancel my family plan. It is also an insentive to create easy passwords, which also makes this a security risk.   So please create an easy way to switch accounts under the same subscription.   Without this feature, both plans will have a low adapt rate. Listen to your early adaptors, or new business models like these will never start working, and numbers will stay low. Closing this ticket because it wont get 50votes within 3 months, means you are not taking "early adaptors" in account. Search your own forum, and you will see its a topic since 2016.     PS: Or don't call it a family plan. Call it a group discount offer. ... View more

Here is an example from the same album. Apple music will show the localized song title depending on the users' language setting, while Spotify will always show the song titles in their original names, Japanese in this case. I think it will be great for Spotify to add the translated English song title after the original title, like 三日月サンセット (Mikazuki Sunset). Otherwise international users who know nothing about Japanese, Chinese etc. will have terrible experience finding songs that's not in their language.         ... View more

I believe there should be a way to link songs in a playlist so that even when shuffled, these songs would play back to back.  For example, I'm a big Beatles fan, and I have a giant playlist of all my favorite Beatles songs, and I'd love a way for the entire Abbey Road medley to play (if you haven't listened to Abbey Road's side 2 medley, I highly recommend it).  If two songs from an album fade into one another, I think there should be a way to link those songs in a playlist. ...
