Monthly Ideas Review


Every month the Community Team reviews our Ideas Board. In this blog we'll present some of the ones we’ve updated in the past month!

 

IMPLEMENTED:

1. Spotify Lite

We just wanted to give you a heads up that a lite version of the Spotify app has been released on Android. 

 

You can check out more information about the app and its availability here.

 

2. Adjust Audio Speed of Podcasts

3. Last.fm Support for Playstation

4. Scrobble Tracks played offline

 

GOOD IDEA:

5. Snapchat Spotify Filter

 

Please know your feedback is reaching the internal teams at Spotify, and they're aware of the votes around this idea. We'll continue to check out the comments here too.

 

WATCH THIS SPACE:

6. Adding indivdual Podcasts to Playlists

 

We also think this is a great idea and we're looking into it further. We've changed this idea to 'Watch This Space' and we'll post here when we get an update.

 

 

CASE CLOSED:

7. 432 Hz Tuning

 

As many of you have pointed out below, there are tunes on Spotify already in 432 Hz.

 

Spotify presents tracks as they are meant to be heard by the Artist. As such, we can't implement a feature that would change the tuning of a song for them - as this would go against how they intended their music to be presented.

 

 

NOT RIGHT
NOW:

8. SDK for Video Game Integration

 

We're setting this idea to 'Not Right Now', as this isn't something we have any immediate plans to implement. We appreciate you sharing your thoughts.

 

As a heads up, you can follow these links to find out how to listen to Spotify while you play on Xbox and Playstation.

 

9. Traktor Integration (DJ)

10. Remove current Song from Playlist

11. Send a Receipt to Premium Users Each Month

 

We thrive on Ideas

 

We're actively bringing your comments and feedback to the teams here so they know which features are important to you. If you've got a good idea, you can submit it here.

These ideas boards and blogs are a joke. Twitter and the boards have been blowing up with users taking issue with the new UI and Spotify has not made a single genuine comment addressing them. Ignoring the loyal customer base and force feeding scripted response is a great way to get those customers to explore other options.

The removal of the Songs tab was a backwards step, now there is no option to shuffle all songs in the library offline or online.

Cannot understand the thinking behind removing this feature it really limits the userability of spotify when I want to listen to music for long periods.

 

Currently testing Google music, Amazon and Deezer all of which have this feature making it a far superior platform at the moment.

Can you please bring back the old UI?! As many people have said for months, one of the best features of Spotify was being able to shuffle the entire library. Why are you not listening?

Hie I propose my thoughts for the future of spotify!
1- Genius lyrics
It would be nice if the lyrics are displayed in full and we have the option to choose whether we want to display the genius or not
2- White mode
Spotify has always been dark and green, why not add customization, change the color green, put a brighter mode
3- Background
The background used behind the cover of the albums / single, is too "discreet" not enough light, something more colorful would be better
4- discovery
It would be nice to add a "Discovery" tab that would allow each day to discover new music instead of a single playlist and a "daily mix".
That’s all tell me what you think!

So you're yet again going to totally ignore all the negative feedback you've received since February about the new changes you made to the Library? You removed a basic functionality that music programs have had since basically forever, rather than just ADD a useful functionality, like being able to sort or filter artists and songs by artists.

 

There have been plenty of detailed posts by users, myself included, about what is wrong with this update, as well as how you could implement the same ideas without removing such a basic feature.

 

The canned responses from your customer service department, @SpotifyCares on twitter, and your "Rock Stars" here only cement in the idea that you don't actually care about paying customers. By pointing to the "Here's how the new Library works" page/video, you're basically implying that we're idiots who don't know how to use a new UI, completely missing the point that it's not about using a new interface, it's about the removal of basic music library functions.

 

These are just some of the reasons why I cancelled my premium subscription. To everyone else, if you're angry at Spotify for forcing this cluelessly bad update, I encourage you to cancel your Premium subscription and move services.

 

Speak with your wallet, they have zero incentive to change if they're still getting paid.
