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.

I want to select my preference for soca music. This genre of music is unrecognized by Spotify while "Gaming" and "Ellen" are. There is a substantial number of soca artists from the Caribbean putting music on Spotify and I hope to see Spotify being made available in more areas of the world. In particular, my island, Barbados is a top producer of Caribbean music, but Spotify is unavailable. I do not know the details of making a music app, however, the recognition of soca as a genre has had small steps some Spotify made playlits and appropriate music suggestions so I wonder why there is not something more significant? Please recognize soca as a music genre and make Spotify be made available in more countries of the Caribbean.

Removing our saved stations with our saved thumbs up and down preferences for each station is a SERIOUSLY BAD move and hit. Many people have spent a very long time fine tuning those stations and really enjoy those, they are different from playlists entirely. 

 

Trying to do a separate app just for that is just bad user experience, one stop shop is the goal here, no one ever wants to install any more extra stuff or have yet another app on their phones. Especially for something they already had before. This is taking away from people, not adding to an experience positively. 

 

Please at least look into adding a tab into the Library section at the top, next to albums, that's labeled 'Stations' which has our saved radio data back in.

I think Spotify should have playlists much like BBC have, where artists, actors, athletes, famous doc persons aka theroux, and all round interesting people list their favourite tracks old and new .

I have to say my favorite change is the separation between tracks and albums in the library. I can now mark albums to listen to them later, without the individual tracks landing in my favorites before I even listen to them. I can stop creating playlists for each album.
