I agree with the privacy suggestion, being able to keep the 'Private Listening' constantly ON would be great, because

having to manual switch it every time is obnoxious . 

Other suggestions:

Be able to vouch out or thumbs down a song . I had to listen to a song I hated for a project, now spotify thinks i'm obsessed with that song and puts it on all my playlists. 

Bring Lyrics back. (apple music has lyrics and it's great) 

Improve offline listening. it takes way too long for features to start working if there's no data connection. Also a better way to navigate offline music . 

New Release section geared more to me. I don't listen to top 40 so not sure why it only shows that content. Release Radar is great but misses a lot of new releases that interest me. 

Thanks for hearing me out!

I've been trying to find a place to put this idea that I randomly thought of, so I'll just put it here.

So there are some songs with ridiculously long intros and outros, and there are songs that have like 1 'good part' but that good part is really good. So I was thinking if Spotify can make a "snipping" option where you can just crop some part of the sound out, such as just clicking edit, then on the song, then moving the sliders to adjust what portion you want to listen to. After you slide it to your liking, such as snipping that outro from "Runaway" by Kanye right, you just exit from the whole snipping and it plays your snippet of the song whenever the song gets played. Like I mentioned "Runaway" earlier, some people would want to just listen to the outro because they like that or something, they can just move the far left slider towards the outro. Vice versa they can slide the right slider to the beginning of the outro to end the song before the outro begins. That way if you ever listen to songs that are good but when they get to that point you don't like, you won't have to skip, it'll just end for you if you preset it to.
