May 2020 Ideas Review

[Katerina]

Every month the Community Team reviews our Ideas Board and highlights the statuses we’ve updated recently.

Below you can find the statuses changed last month. For more information read: Idea Exchange: How does my feedback reach Spotify?

IMPLEMENTED:

1. [All Platforms][Playlists] Skipping songs in a playlist that you are not the creator of

It's now possible to hide tracks within any playlist on mobile.

Just head to the context menu (three dots), and tap "Hide song". The song will be marked as "Hidden", meaning it'll no longer play in that playlist. This can be undone at any time too.

2. [Music] Block / Hide / Blacklist Tracks or Artists

The option 'Don't play this artist' is now available on iOS and Android.

If we have any information about this on other platforms in the future, we'll report back!

3. [Browse] Hide song in Premium

We're marking this as implemented, as this feature is now available on mobile.

If we have any info regarding this on desktop in the future, we'll head back here with an update.

4. [All Platforms] Sleep Timer

We can confirm this is available on both iOS & Android!

You can check out this idea, if you'd like to vote for a sleep timer on desktop too.

5. Increase maximum Songs allowed in Your Music

We're excited to be marking this idea as implemented!

We've now removed the limit on saved items in Your Library, making it possible to save songs, and albums on Spotify to your heart's content.

As the app has changed quite a bit since this idea was submitted, please be aware that some functionality is now different. This change does not impact the limit on the number of songs in a playlist other than your Liked Songs.

For more info, check out this blog post.

GOOD IDEA:

6. [All Platforms][Your Library] Delete Songs from Account History

7. [All Platforms] "Don't Like Button" should be added to all sections

8. [Podcasts] Push Notification for new Episodes

9. [Social] Real Time "Listen with Friend(s)"

 

CASE CLOSED:

10. [Running] Bring back Running

 

UNDER CONSIDERATION

11. [Mobile] Listening History On Mobile

 

NOT RIGHT
NOW:

12. [iOS][Other] Spotify Alarm on iOS

I don't know where to drop my idea's but this is my idea.

Make the option to make maps so you can sort out your playlists.

For example, I have 50 electronic music playlists, 20 Mood playlists, 30 albums that I like to listen, 20 playlists I follow and 30 playlists/albums that I want to check out.

Most of the time I listen to the same playlists. The other +/- 140 playlists I don't use a lot but I don't want them to throw away because sometimes I still use them.

That makes my Spotify a incredible mess and I can't clean it.

Do you have ideas to fix this?

Why doesn't your "Ideas Board" link actually link to the ideas board?  It just loops back to this article.

It will be very useful to have a button/tag at the start of the albums section to go directly to the singles section instead to have to scroll the entire album list before to see the singles section.

Thank you

Could you mark audiobooks in a similar way as podcasts? Currently audio books are handeled the same way as normal songs. So after listening to one book similar books occur in my automatically created playlists...

I have the Student bundle and I have noticed that I only have access to only certain shows on Hulu and I think it would be a good idea to be able to and upgrade option in order to access more shows or all shows on Hulu.
