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

Só queria dizer que esta ideia de mandar email informando shows dos artistas que nós ouvimos foi genial!

Widget is back, yey! Can't get my thoughts around why it was deleted in the first place.

to add to @blasferrari's comment, maybe add a live queue feature. a host of a party/dj can create a live queue of songs that others can send suggestions to and they would have control over what songs play and in what order.

the app should start showing artist's music videos. a lot of people go to youtube to watch music videos when they could just stay on the app and watch them there.

My first time out here. I love seeing businesses that are listening to their community. As a business person myself it's very important.

I'm a long-time Spotify user. I am also a Baby Boomer so the jump from buying my music was a huge step for me. Thanks for making that move so easy. What decided for me was I saved money, but I got access to so much more music that I would have never found.
