June Monthly Ideas Review

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.  Sorting Options for List of Playlists

With the recent update to Your Library on mobile, it's now possible to sort and filter your Playlists, Artists and Albums in more ways. 

To find the filters, just pull down on the tab you're on, select filters and then choose the one you'd like. The 'Custom Order' filter on the Playlist section will mirror the order you have on Desktop - which means it's now possible to maintain the way your organise your tunes on Desktop across to Mobile. 

2. Bring Back Albums' Length

3. Add & Remove Content separately (Artist, Album, Songs)

4. Car View

5. Bring back the old Web Player

 

GOOD IDEA:

6. Spotify in Ukraine

Spotify is launching regularly in countries around the world. Please keep an eye on the Spotify blog or signup here to be first to hear if we reach Ukraine.

 

NOT RIGHT NOW:

7. Add complete Playlists to the Queue

We just wanted to update this to say it's possible to add all tracks from a playlist to your queue on Desktop. To do so, just head to your playlist > select all tracks using 'Ctrl/Cmd + A' > right click and select 'Add to Queue'. 

There aren't currently plans to implement this on Mobile,  but if anything changes we'll update you here. 

 

CASE CLOSED:

8. Bring back Recently Played to Your Library

With the new update you can now find your Recently Played tunes section on the home screen. Additionally, it's also possible to sort your Albums, Artists and Playlist by Recently Added. To do so, pull down to reveal the search bar, click the 'filters' options and then select 'Recently Played'. You'll also spot some other filter options too, like 'Name' so you can sort your playlists alphabetically.

9. Bring Spotify's old UI back

10. Option to show Lyrics only

New update is trash. You guys really need to be humbled and reminded that the customer comes first. Forget all your parent companies requests to impose what YOU want us to listen to. This new layout isnt worth a **bleep** and you know it. Trying to explain to us how we need to use this new format should be a red flag that you have created new unnecessary and unwanted complications. You’re a big time sell out in my book. Currently transferring all my music onto Apple Music. Going to make the most of their three month free trial. Know that y’all leaving a bad last impression on all the loyal customers that have been with you for years.

Salve,

avrei due idee che potrebbero essere implementate...

La prima, come scritto sopra, potrebbe essere di implementare un'opzione che permette di aggiungere una playlist alla coda di ascolto anche nella versione mobile...

Questo potrebbe essere utile se per esempio, come me, avete due playlist (una composta da musiche del momento e una di musiche storiche 70s-80s), e volessi sentire tutti e due i generi senza però modificare le playlist ma solo la coda di ascolto.

La seconda idea, invece, consiste nell'inserire una barra di ricerca subito nella home della playlist, e non passando dalle impostazioni della playlist.

Playlist archives would be amazing

I no longer have a Facebook account nor want one but in order for me to "Find friend" I need one. I understand why Spotify probably took this approach (existing social API) but it creates a challenge for those who do not want a Facebook account. The challenge is not being able to "Find friends" and follow them as well as friends not being able to follow you. Spotify is not just a music platform it is also a social platform, I would suggest Spotify develop a system that gives its members the ability to find and follow people without having to rely on a Facebook account.

Not impressed with the update... 

There needs to be a seperation between liking and adding to library. It's so confusing the way it is currenty set up. Especially now that the songs tab has been removed??? why would that be taken away???

I don't want to 'like' every song in my library. I want the option to add a whole album or even partial album and like the songs that are my favorite from that album.
