January 2021 Ideas Review

[Elena]

Every month the Community Team reviews our Ideas Board and highlights the statuses we’ve updated in the past 30 days.

Below you can find the statuses changed last month. For more information read: Idea Exchange: How does my feedback reach Spotify?

IMPLEMENTED:

1. [Partnership] Add Sign-in with Google 

You should now be able to sign up for an account using Google Sign-in so we'll mark this idea as Implemented.

2. [Connect] Show Chromecast on Desktop's Device List

We're pleased to confirm that this feature should now be available to all Desktop users, as pointed out by @MattSuda here.

3. [Web Player] Change Playlist Covers

You'll be happy to know that you can now edit your playlist covers and descriptions in the web player.

4. [Web Player][Discover] Possibility to block artist/songs so they do'nt appear on e.g. release radar

We're eager to confirm that feedback buttons on Discover Weekly and Release Radar have now been added in the web player and you should see the option to “dislike” tracks or artists in those playlists.

5. [Web Player][Other] Add option to Change profile picture on spotify browser (open.spotify.com)

You can now update your profile picture and name in the web player ✨

6. [All Platforms][Subscription] Share playlist with Spotify Kids

Along the lines of what you'll find here, this should now be implemented.

 

CASE CLOSED:

7. [Subscription] Pay yearly for Family & Student

8. [Android] Swipe to Queue a Track

The status Case Closed doesn't mean the door is completely closed for implementing the idea. Even in a Closed state we'll still be tracking this idea and its votes.

If anything changes we'll be sure to check back in.

when can we see who follows our playlists? id really like that feature added

[ClaireMac]

Why can't users rate and review podcasts? I find the Spotify recommendations, charts and browsing categories really stagnant. User ratings and reviews would really help to find podcasts.

[Merisu]

There should be a feature that shows how many times we listen to a song.

[Dalibor]

"[Partnership] Add Sign-in with Google" is implemented with 56 votes. Much older [Desktop][Podcasts] Sort by Unplayed/Recently Added  with 683 votes is NOT? This whole "Community Ideas" thing is one big joke. Spotify is not able to develop decent app UI, that's no new thing.  But looks like they're not even able to sort the ideas by age and votes.

Including the filter and the ability to sort a playlist by songs that I like (marked heart) or that I don't like (unmarked heart) is a fantastic idea.
Including this idea is useful since when they pass us a new playlist it is easier to detect which songs we already have in our favorite songs list and go directly to listen to the new songs and see if we want to add them to our playlist.
