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. ...

Ok, 'Spotify for Artists’ is awesome, but what about all the Curators? Isn’t creating playlists also an art? This idea is about creating a brand new official Spotify dashboard where: (1) Curators can ‘claim' their Playlists (to see ‘audience insights, stats, growth,…) and where Curators can  (2) review submissions for playlist consideration sent by artists via a new ‘Spotify for Artists’ submission form.   At the moment Artists can send unreleased songs to the editorial Spotify team for playlist consideration, but with ‘Spotify for Curators’ you could create a direct and official network for Artists and Curators to connect!    If this is implemented properly, this could upgrade the Wild West of playlist hunting/placement companies to a whole new and official level. Goodbye Payola and welcome ‘Spotify for Curators’.   This is how I see it:   Firstly, there’s the ‘Spotify for Curators’ dashboard, where the Curator receives access to lot’s of interesting statistics about demographics, age, active listeners, growth over time, etc. about their playlist(s). There is also 'a compare function’, as with ‘Spotify for Artists’, to get an idea what similar playlists are doing: information to help the Curators build and understand their audience.   Secondly: artists can access their ‘Spotify for Artists’ dashboard and can select a song to be send to the Curator/Playlist of their choice (also older and released songs). The Curator will receive this notification in ‘Spotify for Curators’, and can listen to the song for playlist consideration.    Wait, there’s even more.   If Artists get paid by Spotify, so why not pay/reward curators as well?    You can do this in several ways:    (1) Artists could for example buy ‘Official Spotify Playlist Submission Credits’ to be able to send one or more songs to the Curators of their choice. Reasonably priced, with an option to choose for service exchange instead of money. Curators receive a reward/compensation for listening to the song, without any guarantee for playlist placement. The income generated by selling ‘Official Spotify Playlist Submission Credits’ can be split between Spotify, the Curators and a good cause of our choice 🙂 And of course, Curators can also choose to accept free submissions.   (2) when a Playlist reaches X amount of followers with X amount of unique monthly listeners, then the Curators only pays 50% for your monthly Spotify Premium fee, or when you reach X, then it’s 100 % free.   Main Advantage 1: With ’Spotify for Curators’ you give Curators the Spotify experience they deserve   This will be a huge incentive for (new) Curators to get an X amount of followers/listeners. They will start promoting their playlists far more actively! And existing successful Curators will be happy with this generous gesture from Spotify, building loyalty. And Spotify will attract new listeners as well. You can even reward curators with credits to share with friends and family; X months of free Spotify,… . And probably many things more!   Main Advantage 2: An Official Spotify Song Submission Platform   Artist don’t need to spend long days behind the computer anymore to hunt for contact details of interesting playlists. They can simply access ‘Spotify for Artists’ and submit music to the Curators of their choice! Easy peasy.   Curators can finally live stress-free: no more messages in their social media inboxes about artists wanting to get on their playlist. And no more shady payola practices.    —   What do you think? ... View more

It would be super cool if users could upload GIF playlist covers.

The Desktop app Podcasts page (both macOS and Windows) layout lists only podcasts series subscribed to. This is unlike the iOS app which lists podcast episodes by date episode was added (under the 'unplayed' section).   As a lot of the podcasts come out with episodes at a daily/weekly/monthly intervals and are consumed on an ad-hoc basis as they come out, a Podcasts page layout for Desktop apps which shows the episodes listed by data episode was added (reverse chronologically) is much needed. This would make it 10x easier to find which of the many podcasts a user subscribes to has come out with a new episode, instead of clicking through each podcast and checking.   (see comparison of iOS podcasts page vs. Desktop podcasts page) ...

Today the Ipad app was updated to change the layout to be the same as the Iphone app with the nav bar at the bottom. All i can say is why? Why would you do this? The Ipad app used to essentially use two halfs of the screen serepatly, the left side being the previouse pannel you were on and the right being the one you are on. This worked perfectly and meant you could swap between playlists and tracks easily and it meant there was NO wasted space. This previouse layout was clearly designed for Ipad and worked perfectly and was very userfriendly so WHY WHY WHY would you change it to this: (attachment)    Pretty much 80% of the screen is wasted blank space and there is no way to easily see what playlist you are playing. Basically each pannel seen in the image of the previous layout now fills the entire screen and you have to use a back arrow at the top left to go to other pannels. This NEEDS to change, it is not acceptable to change a perfectly good layout to one designed for a much smaller screen for seemingly no reason, the only update note is that they changed the layout to that of Iphones so this update was completely pointless and just ruined the layout. The nav bar being at the bottom is unnecissary, there was nothing wrong with it being at the side. Whats happened is a high up who has no idea about what people want or anything about thier own app have told thier team to bring out an update because one hasnt been out for a while even though thier is no need for one.    I seriously hope more people get on Spotifys **bleep** about this because this needs to be changed because frankly it less userfriendly then the previouse layout and ugly AF.   Once again we see a software provider updating thier software for no good reason only to make things worse, these companies need to understand that thiers nothing wrong with leaving something the way it is. If it aint broke dont fix it!    ... View more

Spotify should be natively accessable via the Audi MMI head unit, I know that this has been proposed previously but as the interfaces become more technically savvy and you can now have inexpensive sims in the cars, this is becoming a far more relevant topic!    I love Spotify and don’t want to swap to Napster or Amazon Music, so can you be awesome and take a look at a partnership to make this interface?!  ...

It's really frustrating when you just want to hear your music and then the next item that comes on is a podcast.  From that point, in order to continue listening to your music you have to remove all the podcasts you added from the queue and then continue.  If you want to listen to podcasts again, you have to re-add the ones you wanted back to the queue.  Again, VERY FRUSTRATING!  I would love to use Spotify for both, but for now I will continue using a separate app for my podcasts. ...

Seeing the only way to pay for Spotify in Romania is via credit or debit card I think for more people to enjoy Spotify and it's content they should add more payments options. Services like PayPal, PaySafeCard or mobile payments should be added because a large proportion of people, especially teenagers don't have access to a credit or debit card. ... View more

This could go two ways depending on Spotify's thoughtrs. You could allow users to switch between alternate main menu setups or have them be able to customize their own by resizing or removing current fields on Spotify's design.

This functionality recently appeared in some playlists. I am talking about the small pictures next to each track, the artworks.   I have a visual memory, and the artworks are a very efficient way to find the music I'm looking for.   Deezer always made them appear in their app, but Spotify didn't. Now it is available in some specific playlists, I would really like to see it in every single playlist (and also in the saved songs).   See on the screenshots, there's a big difference between only letters and letters + images.     ...

This kudos system is obviously failing. I've seen hundreds of posts suggesting Spotify implement a digital booklet/liner notes option and they all end up "inactive" because of insufficient kudos. I don't even know how to give kudos! Liner notes or a digital booklet are a "must" for any serious music listener. I'm listening to a Monkeys tribute by several artists and I can't see who is is performing the song, it all says The Monkeys. I know there is a guest guitar player on a particular song and I have no idea who he is. I know this sounds like a Ryan Adams song but I can't confirm it because I can't see who frikkin' wrote it! Liner notes would solve all of these problems, and it sure as **bleep** doesn't cost that much.   Bottom line is, artist recognition (writers, producers, musicians) should not be subject to "kudos" if you really have respect for a musician's work. This should have been available from the very beginning.   As a Premium Spotify listener and Spotify Artist I am begging you guys to make this happen. ... View more

It's time for Spotify to add some new search filtering of it's music catalog.  It would be great to search new & old music by album type: full or single.  It can be quite annoying to start listening to some new music only to realize that you have selected a single of which plays over and over again.    I believe that Spotify should A/B test this functionality to see if their customer base wishes to use search and use their database more efficiently.   Again, all we are asking is for a better way to filter Albums from Singles.   No doubt Spotify was built on risk taking, so what do they have to lose?  Just test it and I'm sure the data will support it.   ** Please note this Idea has a short shelf life.  If it does not get enough  Upvotes, Spotify will close the Idea.  Please UPVOTE to make this change a reality  ...

I would like the phone app to automatically download all songs in my saved albums. And to stop the songs from being downloaded when I unsave albums.   This was possible before the recent change to libraries by setting the songs section of the library to download. This way of managing downloads is well documented on the internet. I particularly liked that I could add or remove albums from the desktop client and the downloaded tracks would be managed on my phone without me having to do anything else.   With the songs section of libraries gone, I now have to manually manage this. I either have to go through all of my saved albums and individually set them to download, which is tedious. Or I have to laboriously manage a downloading playlist of all of the tracks in all of my saved albums, adding to and removing from it as I save and unsave albums. This would be easier if there was still a way to see a complete list of saved album songs, which could be dragged into a playlist as a single action, but that is also no longer possible.   Maybe this could be achieved with an option to have saved albums default to download?   I have to add that the primary reason I have a premium subscription is so I can access all the songs in my library while I'm offline by having them downloaded. This feature has suddenly become much more effort to manage. ... View more
