March 2019 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!

Want to know what's been going on in the Ideas Board in the last 30 days? Let's take a look...

 

IMPLEMENTED:

1. [Desktop] View larger Album Art

On Desktop it's now possible to expand album artwork to full screen by clicking the two diagonal arrows in the bottom right of the screen (next to the volume bar).

2. Wikpedia Link for Artists

3. Show Credits also on Mobile

4. Google Home for Family Subscriptions outside US (Deal currently availble in UK and France now)

5. Disable Video Loop Cover Art

6. Offline radio stations

7. [Android] Bring back Double-Tap Search

 

Case Closed:

8. Change BlackPink's Biography on Profile

It looks like BLACKPINK have edited their bio and it now doesn't mention BTS. As a heads up, Artist Bio's are controled by the artist themselves so we wouldn't edit what's written in them.

9. Add Playlist or Album to Queue

I wish they would also. I can honestly say I have not listened to Spotify for about 2 weeks. My favorite songs are buried in albums and not just listed as before. Apple Music is looking good about now.

I have a Canadian premium account for more than two years and I tried to register for the new Spotify offer for Google home mini.

Once you check in to the google store it says that the product is unavailable!

This offer is valid till May9, 2019 and this happened on April 10, is that a false advertisement??

Adding the free Hulu deal to Premium Family accounts seems like a no brainer, not to mention that there are a lot of users asking for it. If you give the deal to those who pay less, why not give the deal to those who pay more? I already have Hulu, and I am interested in a Spotify Premium account, but only if my family can use it too. Fix this issue and you'll see more users signing up for Premium. Ignore it and you'll probably watch some users cancel their subscription to join other music services.

I can’t get over the disappearance of a way to dislike a song from a radio station. Why would I keep listening if I can’t ensure it won’t play a song I hate? The ability to customize radio stations would make Spotify almost perfect. Let us at least create stations out of multiple songs/artists like Pandora.... but being able to remove songs from radio is essential.

There are so many things broken by the last update around how the library works that I'm still finding things. Cannot see artists not followed. Artist page on phone now makes it hard to find music that's downloaded. Cannot save all songs when saving an album so they auto-download on a phone. Artists with only one or two songs saved are now pretty much impossible to find. It just goes on.

Please roll this back, it's discouraging me from using Spotify and I'm just listening to less now. This isn't a case of "getting used to it", it's just difficult to use.
