Spotify has AAC-encoded versions of all songs, but they are only served by the Web Player. Because of the Vorbis encoding used by desktop and mobile applications, I seriously consider switching to other music streaming services. Please give us an encoding option to choose between AAC or Vorbis. ... View more

  I am aware that this idea isn’t exactly new but bear with me for a second.    I have an iPhone and I  enjoy discovering new music  on Spotify when I’m on the go.  Unfortunately it is not always safe for me to unlock my phone so I can like a song I want to listen to again later, for example when I’m driving or riding my bike.   It is understandable that if you take the “go back to the previous song” button away to make  room for the “ like this song” button , there will be some people complaining about it.  However, my suggestion is that you  could make it an option in the settings to either have the “go back to the previous song” button OR the “like the song” button.     Maybe this could be the solution?  Or maybe somebody else has an even better idea, either way  I hope it’ll be an option to like a song from the home screen on iPhone’s in the future.    Thank you for taking the time to read this,  and I hope you will consider my suggestion. ...

I've got Google Home and I've got Sonos. I'd like to be able to say, "Hey Google, play some Jazz music on my Sonos devices"   At the moment, I can get Google Home to play music on my tiny Google Home speaker. I can then go to Spotify on my PC or phone, and then change the device. But if I'm doing that, I might as well do that to begin with and not bother with voice commands. ... View more

I’d like to be able to see which devices are logged on to my account and see where they originate (Country, City, IP, Device Type) in order to easier see if an account has been compromised.   You should then be able to log off individual connections or possibly block the IP for further logins. ...

It was such a disappointment to lose playlists on Roku. I would like it restored. Now I got a new Roku and see that Spotify isn't even on it now. Such a  disappointment. Please bring it back and improve Roku platform functionality. That's what made me a premium subscriber in the first place. Thanks! ... View more

I know I’m not the first to say this, but I really hope you implement gapless playback in the chromecast version of Spotify . The ~1 second gap between songs makes things like Abbey Road, Dark Side of the Moon, Beach Boys’ Smile Sessions and various classical releases very unpleasant to listen to. It completely breaks the flow of the music. ... View more

I noticed recently that for some songs by certain artists, if I play their song I see video footage of the artist instead of album artwork. It appears to only be for some artists (for example, when playing "Sorry Not Sorry" by Demi Lovato, there is video of Demi that starts playing, and it says "uploaded by Demi Lovato".) I spoke to support about this, and they told me there is currently no way to turn this off. I would really appreciate an option to turn this autoplay video off.  ... View more

I always wonder what other people around me listening to, especially on train or bus. It could be a nice idea to be able to share what you are listening to anonymously or publicly to the people around you. I know it requires new permission for location but it could provide a good user experience feature. ... View more

I really cannot understand why on earth Spotify refuses just to implement fast forward and rewind buttons/functionatlity in the Android Auto app. This seems very easy to do and would not take time at all to implement. Instead I see in this community because poeple not "giving kudos" enough it is being dissmissed. Just do it! ... View more

Now that windows on arm devices are out in the wild I'd like to see a Spotify windows app compiled for ARM64. This would drastically increase battery life for these devices and Microsoft let's you port exisitng code to arm64 as well.    You could also take advantage of other features such as LTE connectivity and instant on for these devices. ...

So I got a Spotify gift card from my friend. I am already on a Family Premium plan and so when I try to redeem the gift care, it tells me that I cannot.   Why? Gift cards are supposed to be used for anything related to a service. Why can't I use the gift card to pay for my subscription?   This feels so dishonest and strange for a company to not honor their gift cards in such a strange way. ... View more

Can you find a way to let users see a full title and we can tell each tracks quicker and not by playing it?   One way is to roll the title. It is how Volumio is doing.   Another way is to ask the tracks providers to input specific info on the title instead of everything like full name of artists or composers. There should be other place for them. For classical music, the composer is as critical as the player and lots of tracks on Spotify mix them up. It makes searching more difficult. ... View more
