Ideas Review

Hey Folks!

Sorry for the silence over the past couple with the Ideas Review - we've had a busy few months having our annual Rock Star Jam where we flew out our top Community Rock Stars to check out the office in New York. 

Interested in what it takes to be a Rock Star? Just click here.

Now let's check out the latest updates...

IMPLEMENTED:

1. Android Widget

We’re excited to let you know the Android Widget is back. To get listening, make sure you’re on the latest version of the app and Spotify will show in the widget menu on your device.

The widget is now resizable and some stability issues have been fixed. 

2. Screen always on Option when driving

3. Compatibility with Garmin Vivoactive 3 Music

4. Folders for playlists in the Web Player

5. Share Spotify on Snapchat

6 . Adding indivdual Podcasts to Playlists

 

GOOD IDEA:

7. Friendship Playlists

Thanks for adding your vote to this idea. We're marking this as a 'Good Idea'!

As a heads up, Family Mix is available to users on the Premium Family. It's a playlist that combines the music you and other members on your plan listen to. 

8. Voice Control

9. Bring Back Mobile Playlist Sorting/Searching

10. Music Videos

CASE CLOSED:

11. Remove specific Artists from Discover Page

Whilst it's not possible to remove an artist directly from your Home page, there are several ways to give feedback to the app that you don't like certain Songs or Artists. 

- In your Discover Weekly, Release Radar and Daily Mix playlists you can click the 'Hide' button and select either 'Don't play this song' or 'Don't play this artist'.

- You can head direct to an Artist Page, click the three dots and select 'Don't Play This'.

12. Music sharing with people nearby

NOT RIGHT
NOW:

13. Alphabet scroll bar

The A-Z scroll bar is back on iOS, under the Artist tab on Your Library. 

We can see that there are users requesting this feature on Android too. We'll keep the status as 'Not Right Now', so you can keep adding your votes. 

14. Show own Cover Art of shared Playlist

15. View & Shuffle all Tracks in Playlist Folders

16. Remove individual track from saved album

17. Songs changes in OSX Notifications

18. Spotify for KaiOS

19. Support Crossfade on Spotify Connect

20. Personal Song Counter

21. Ability to search within all playlists

22. TV Shows & Movies

Seriously, y'all. I'm about to debate whether or not to switch to Apple Music. After all, they show play counts. And y'all could be TEN TIMES BETTER than Apple Music because, in order for it to track, you have to sync and download. While on Spotify, you shouldn't have to sync. If y'all really wanna compete with them, show play counts and do it ten times better. 

I'm a Spotify Loyal User. I LOVE this service but SERIOUSLY consider this or I'll make a decision on whether or not to abandon this service. I'm not the type of customer to be ignored. I have encountered terrifically annoying problems on this service but have let them slide, pushed them away and forgot about it. But not this time, Spotify!!

Hello, 

My name is Isaiah Milfort. I had the oppurtunity to particpate in your Internship recruitment session at SCAD Atlanta. I pitched idea during the event: AR/VR in studios sessions with artist. Take some of the top streaming artist and have them record there song live. Allow the viewer to be within the studio and see the process. A fully immersive experince. Have them recording the hook, verse and even listening to instrumentals. Showing the artists process while developing the hit song.

I would like to call attention to this thread https://community.spotify.com/t5/Live-Ideas/All-Platforms-Your-Library-Increase-maximum-Songs-allowe...

It has been 5 years since this was posted and still nothing from Spotify on how they plan to fix it.  Please include this in one of your monthly reviews this year!! It would be a great thing to fix by the Holidays!!

Will this be the last monthly ideas review now that Tom left?

Hey @Primenay

If you are interested I suggest yyou create a new idea stating how it hasn't been looked at in a while. That way it brings more attention to the idea!

Best
