March 2017 Ideas Review

Every month the Community Team reviews our Ideas Board and present the ones we’ve updated in the past 31 days.

We're here to take a look at the ideas we updated for you all in March. Curious what we implemented last year? Well check out our Yearly Ideas Review: 2016 here. 

IMPLEMENTED:

1. Option to Disable 'Behind the Lyrics'.

WATCH THIS SPACE:

2. Integrate HTML5 with play.spotify.com.

We're currently rolling out an udpated version of the web player that fully supports HTML5. Keep an eye on this idea for more updates.

GOOD IDEA:

3. Bring back "Year in Music" on demand.

4. Sleep Timer.

5. [Amazon Echo] Alexa controls via Spotify Connect.

6. Voice control Spotify for mobiles. 

NOT RIGHT NOW

7. Organize 'Your Music' by genre.

8. Headless client for Linux servers. 

9. Spotify for Uconnect.

10. Decreasing subscription price for long-term subscribers.

11. Allow recommedations to be removed from Discover.

12. Rearrange playlists on the mobile app. 

13. Ability to link together tracks in a playlist. 

14. Create a "Recently Added" tab to Your Music.

15. Real Time Listen With Feature

16. Your Music "Check It Out Later" Section. 

17. Ultimate Shuffle Button: Play Random Song from Spotify Library.

18. [Chromecast] Support wallpaper and screensaver.

19. Allow Family Members with a different address. 

20. Pin a Playlist to the top of the list.

21. Separate personal Playlists from Followed Playlists.

CASE CLOSED: 

24. Spotify Connect for Windows Phone.

25. Add Local Files Syncing to Windows Phone App.

26. Windows Phone - Support for Cortana.

27. Last.fm Scrobbling for Windows Phone.

28. Spotify Connect for Windows Phone.

Spotify for Windows Phone has been placed into maintenance mode. Thus, we will only be making critical security updates to the current Spotify app and not releasing any new features nor improving support for old devices going forward. Users can continue to use Spotify on previously supported Windows Phones and Spotify will remain on the Windows Store.

We will continue to work closely with Microsoft to ensure the best experience on Windows platforms and are constantly evaluating the most effective path going forward.

We thrive on Ideas

When will you guys solve the crashing Spotify issue with Samsung TVs?

[LukeJamail]

I have a crazy idea for a new feature, where would be best to suggest it?

[Easy_Walk]

Easy Walk Gospel Band is played by quite a few folks from Norway and Dallas Tx. Y'all seem to like the same gospel music style. What makes Easy Walk Gospel Band appeal to these two very different regions?
