Am a Premium user, was told that Premium Users would be getting the use of their new idea for organization of the Your Library tab. Didn't really mind, don't see it as much needed. I have few qualms with it other than the fact that there is no longer a section for Recently Played albums/songs. This is a pretty major inconvenience for me, seeing as I have a human memory that likes to forget things on me. Having to create a Recently Played playlist for myself to update every time a new song comes on is pretty impractical and annoying. So, please bring back the Recently Played section/tab. Very useful.   Also, not extremely related, but the function to submit ideas seems hidden away in the tabs of the menu, itself hidden in a rabbit hole of non-expressive buttons (Help>Community>Menu>Ideas), and I was forbidden from posting on mobile (For not activating with my email? That's the first thing I did!). Not directly related to the app itself, but it felt like an issue I had worth mentioning. ... View more

So Spotify for whatever reason decided to make the app as inconvenient as possible. The previous set up before this new update was so easy to navigate, find the artist, songs, radio stations, and podcasts whenever I hit the library icon. Now I have to search for and add all these artists basically all over again and frankly I'm pretty mad about it to the point where I want to cancel my subscription. Whats even more frustrating is trying to contact Spotify themselves so I can complain in hopes of actually getting something done about this is like a game and seemingly impossible to get a direct hold of. I'm sure I'm not the only one who feels this way. Can someone please help fix this? I just want the old spotify back. ... View more

    I've been using Spotify consistantly for probably almost four years at this point, and have over 5500 songs saved/liked across over 1000 different artists, so you can imagine my frustration with finding music that I'ved saved/liked by a specific artist who I've not followed under the recent update. I would love for some way to easily find saved songs by artists that I am not following, as currently the only way to do that is to search for the artist, follow them, find them in my follows, then unfollow them, or to scroll through the list of "Recommended artists" underneath my followed artists which is over 900 artists long. Now, I have a couple of ideas on how to fix this, and I would love to see all of them implemented, but even just one would make browsing my saved/liked songs so much easier.     Firstly, the main artist page itself. A way to toggle between the current way of sorting artists and something closer to the old way would be nice; for example, displaying all saved artists by default, but having a way to filter to just follewed artists, much like the "Filter downloaded songs" found on mobile, or a switch that says "Show only followed artists" which would show the current view (of course, this can be enabled by default so as not to overwhelm users). Barring that, a way to sort the "Recommended artists" section would be nice (I believe currently it sorts by recently added, but I may be mistaken). Adding a way to sort that list alphabetically or by recently played would be wonderful (speaking of, sorting followed artists by recently played in addition to recently added and alphabetically would also be wonderful). Lastly, a button on an artist's profile to the effect of "View liked songs" as a way to view the same page that you would get by clicking on them under the Artists tab would go a long way.     I understand if Spotify would not wish to implement changes such as these, but implementing even just one of them would greatly help myself, and probably many others. I would love to see all of these functions added (that last one is one I've wanted for a while, even before the update), and believe they would make for a better browsing and curating experience.     (P.S. I'm sure it'll come up somewhere, but the reason I'm not following every artist whose music I'ved liked is because some of them I like a couple of their songs, but not enough of them to warrent following, or they're something like a classical composer, where there's many many vesions of the same songs that I already have saved.)           --Cheers, Narpas ...

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 @spotify fix this!!!! ... View more

The old mobile UI so many of us loved had our own beloved libraries and collections front and center by using the whole screen to show playlists, albums or podcasts.   The new update introduces two design UI/UX decisions that I absolutely can't get behind.   The huge titlebar   You know that in design big=important, right? The biggest thing now is the titlebar where we can switch between podcasts and music.   But the decision if a user wants to listen to podcasts or music is made even before she/he launches the app.   I leave the house, take my phone out of my pocket knowing that I want to listen to that new abum or playlist on the bus ride. I go to: Library -> Playlists and stay there until I unplug my headphones.   I'm cooking or washing the dishes and I want to listen to that new podcast episode? I choose: Library -> Podcasts and listen until I'm finished. We do not switch back and forth between music and podcasts multiple times. We don't want this huge titlebar to push our own content further down.   If you absolutely want to keep it, please at least don't let it show everytime there is just a slight scrolling upwards.    Huge Icons   This would not be such a big problem If you didn't choose to color playlist folders and the "add playlist" button in this "Mockup Gray" shade.   This just does not look nice.    When I open the app I do not see my awesome music collection, I see gray mockup icons that make me feel like I use an 0.0.1 version of Spotify.   You also chose to force usage of this "Favorite Songs" playlist by placing it on top with no option to hide it. I don't want to use it because the concept of "liked songs" together in a playlist musically makes no sense to me. I like different songs, I like happy ones, sad ones, neutral ones. Listening to this playlist would be an emotional rollercoaster.    Now for the "new idea" part:   Bring back full screen content views. Let us navigate to them by choosing if we want to see albums, artists, podcasts or singles on a seperate screen. Our own collections are the most important part of your app. Make the icons smaller again OR move the "Add Playlist" Button to the top right, allow hiding of "Liked Songs" and make playlist folders visually appealing by setting colors or cover art.   Spotify please, at least gives us 1 good and thought out response to our massive criticism.  Please don't close this idea (like the other one about the new UI) by giving one of those Copy-Paste responses telling us how to use the interface correctly.  We understand how to use the interface. We just don't like it because you made design mistakes. If you close this idea again everyone visiting this thread will see how bad your communication with your users really is.     ... View more

The newest update is just terrible. PLEASE bring back the alpabetical scroll bar, the ability to look at all of my artists of all of my saved songs, just put everything back the way it was! The newest update literally just made Spotify less accessible. Why is Create A Playlist above all of my saved songs and playlists? That is not the first thing people want to see, we go on Spotify to listen to our music and we want to be able to access it easily.  ... View more

Dear Spotify,   Believe it or not most of us don't scour the forum every day and vote on everything we like. Good ideas abound, and Spotify should just evaluate each one themselves, using the expertise they have in the music streaming area.   Many obviously good ideas here that I see have not reached some arbitrary kudos threshold are just dropped. It's senseless behavior,  and Spotify should re-assess it imho, for it's own benefit and that of us users.   Go ahead and close this, when it fails the kudos test, and feel the irony.   Cheers, Paul ...

Remember before the update that got rid of the old Your Library tab? Yeah, bring that back. I want an artist's tab that shows every artist in my library, not just the followed ones and then a random list of all the other artists I have saved.  And the songs tab. None of this playlist with every possible song in it garbage. And please, most of all, PLEASE bring back the list view of recently played everything!  Albums, artists, playlists, whatever it be.  And if course, the ability to SAVE AN ALBUM.  I don't listen to track based artists. I LISTEN TO ALBUMS. So let me save that album with one click.  The new user interface is probably great for some people. I hate it. Reddit hates it. So, just give us a nice little button we can press in settings to select which UI we want to use. Please, it's been 1 day and I hate the new UI. It feels like I list a bunch of stuff for the podcasts tab. I don't listen to podcasts. So give me the option to change it.  Please spotify. I'm begging you.  I love the statistics I get through you guys, I love the end of year review, but this UI makes me want to check out Apple music or sound cloud go or something else.  ... View more

Hello There,   I have been using your service for many years now. When I began it was very simple. Search an artist, find a song/album you want, add it to your "library". I would go to my library and could scroll through my artists (i particularly loved the letters on the side of the screen that made it even faster to scroll around).    I am not here to criticize the changes that have been made lately (to the mobile app, specifically for iOS), but I personally do not find the changes to be beneficial, nor are they very user friendly. They do not really make sense to me, and I am getting frustrated with the current set up. I believe it would be very cool to offer a legacy format to the application which would make my library act more like a windows media/itunes library. I find it far more intuitive, easier to navigate and I do not believe that it would interfere with your current algorithms that provide recommendations and the discover weekly (both of which are amazing and beautiful tools).    I want to reitterate that I love your service and hope to continue being a patron, but I am very frustrated personally with the few latest big patches (last 9 months or so). Current layout is far from intuitive, I do not wish to follow most of the groups that I enjoy. The "your release radar" was perfectly fine for knowing when new albums came out. Maybe adding that as a listed playlist in "playlist" section of my "library" would be a more effective place for it to be. I am not a programmer, or developer, but I do spend a lot of time using various app and program interfaces and have been in the music scene since the early (glory) days of Napster. Not that that makes me anyone special.    Hope this helps. I really would apreciate a Legacy option, I think it would be particularly helpful to an older crowd, i could imagine them having a lot of difficulty with the current interface.   Thank you for your time, Brennan (54rc45m) ...

Spotify so far does not send confirmation email to change email address, and hackers can easily change the email address without clicking the confirmation link from original email inbox.   The original owner cannot reset the password because the email address is already changed to a fake one.   Please send a confirmation link to the original email address, in order to change the email address to a new one. ...

My car player does not have Bluetooth integrated into its media player, I'm sure plenty of old cars don't either. I find that I always struggle to navigate through songs while I drive since everything is small. I've used Car View in another car with Bluetooth and I absolutely love it! I find it quite funny how it can't be activated manually, since it is able to work over Bluetooth. I hope Car View is available to be activated manually for safety on the road please!    I don't know if someone has already posted this idea, but I did see someone asking a question about it, not suggesting an idea.    Many thanks! ...

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

I use Spotify mainly to organize and play my playlists for my fitness classes.  I need to know my total song count, and the total run time for a full playlist so I know I am finishing class on time-- not early, and not running over.  These options exist on my PC version, but I'm on the fly so often it would really be beneficial to have it available on mobile (both apple and android platforms).  I realize song count on playlists used to be an option-- I relied on it heavily and had to estimate my time frame, but it has disappeared with the most recent update.  I need it back, and would love to just have a spot underneath the title of my playlist that showed my total time like the PC version: Playlist name, created by USER, # songs, XX minutes. Thank you. ... View more

You guys finally listened and implemented a sort-of lyrics system on Android now, Genius' "Behind the Lyrics" (BTL). Now, BTL sometimes shows lyrics, and sometimes shows Genius' explanations for why the lyrics that are being sung that moment are written. So the app can display the lyrics at the proper times already. Genius also already has the full lyrics to most songs in their database. Let us toggle it so it doesn't switch to the explanations. Just the lyrics. I like the explanations, don't get me wrong, but sometimes I want to see what they hear at a specific time, if I can't understand them the explanation won't help me. ... View more

As a Spotify member since beta and a Premium member for who knows how long, I'd like to see a change to Favorited Songs from Radio that was recently changed for the new update.   Problems with Update: I favorite a lot of songs on radio/stations and usually don't immediately remember the name of the band or song. But, I almost ALWAYS remember the album cover. So when I want to return back to that song I saved and check out the album/artist, I know I can go to my Saved Albums and sort by recently added to find what I need. The recent update really hinders this, as throwing them all in a playlist will almost make favoriting songs a hassle, as you would have to scroll through text and text to find what you are looking for. Not to mention, this is a step backwards, as this is how Saving songs from radio used to work years ago.    To fix this issue, I am presenting a few options to make me and probably some other Spotify users happy!   1. Moved Saved Songs back to Saved Albums - This is probably the easiest solution, and I honestly do not know why it got removed in the first place.   2. Make it a Setting Users can opt in/out of - If someone really doesn't want favorited songs saved as an album, why not make this an option instead of forcing it on everyone?    3. If You Don't Change it Back, Add Album Covers to the left of the song on the playlist - This way, you get your way, but also users do not lose the visual reference to a song they saved.   Additional Feedback: So, right now, if I favorite a song from a station, it doesn't get saved as an album, it only lives in a playlist, right? But if I favorite a whole album, I saved the album, and then all the songs get added into the playlist anyway? What's the difference?   I can live with the Recently Added being removed (not really, but I could adjust), but in my opinion, removing Favorited Songs from the Saved Albums Library literally erases years of history from my own account and will change how I favorite and listen to songs moving forward. Please reconsider this recent update.   thanks, rccx ... View more
