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

"dislike" or "skip song" on the desktop app please.

If there's a song I don't like on an album I don't it to be auto-played.  Right now this is impossible and very frustrating since it can be done on most other platforms.

GOSPEL' GENRE IS MISSING!

We're confused as to why the genre of gospel music isn't included in the Browse 'Genre & Moods' front page section? 

Gospel has an array of vibrant & diverse styles such as, hip hop, rhythm, jazz, trap beast, UK grime/rap scene & contemporary, so many playlists exists however it would be easier to locate them under one section as seen when locating the new featured 'Black History is Happening Now' page.

So is anyone going to ignore the fact that they have all the times you listened to a song stored in their data and they won't show it to you? That's why the personal play counts shall be displayed. 

1. First of all, Last.fm barely, if ever scrobbles and has its lazy days of just plain not scrobbling AT ALL and is quite often not accurate to do its non-ability of tracking offline. 

2. When joining Last.fm, you CANNOT, see historical listening. Which should be a big problem for all of you. We MUST bug Spotify like crazy to show our personal listening reports!
