Ideas Review

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 wanted to post additional information wrt to topic: https://community.spotify.com/t5/Desktop-Linux/Linux-client-barely-usable-on-HiDPI-displays/td-p/106...

 

 

I don't see a way to reply to the current thread, so I'm posting here. Probably the wrong place but oh well. 


The thread notes that on 4K displays in linux, the text is way too small even if display scaling is on. The solutions in the thread are good, but they require manual work. Manually opening and editing files sucks. I have a bash script that performs the appropriate actions.

    # Set to 1 to see what changes would be made without making them

    # Break multiline output into an array
    CANDIDATES=($(locate $FNAME))
    for IDX in "${!CANDIDATES[@]}"
    do
        FPATH=${CANDIDATES[$IDX]}
        echo "---"
        echo "IDX=$IDX"
        echo "FPATH=$FPATH"

        # This pattern will either add the scale factor or change an existing scale factor
        SED_PATTERN='s|spotify *\(--force-device-scale-factor=[^ ]*\)* *%U|spotify --force-device-scale-factor=1.5 %U|'
        sed "${SED_PATTERN}" $FPATH | colordiff $FPATH -
        if [ "$DRY_RUN" == "0" ]; then
            sudo sed -i "${SED_PATTERN}" $FPATH
        fi
    done

It would be nice if the create radio from playlist feature was improved. Every radio from playlist I have created has the same repetitive songs in it. I created a new playlist today with all new songs across multiple genres and the radio playlist created from it still includes many of the same songs from prior playlists. Radio from playlist seems broken.

I really miss the yearly email we would get saying how many minutes we listened to on spotify and what our top tracks/songs were. Bringing that back would be AMAZING.

Love this article @Katerina! Great to see so many new things implemented. 🙂

A option where on cromebooks or the web player where you can sort playlists after their name or date added to a playlist like you can do on desktop on mobile would be great.
