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

The new search bar is hidden behind the search button, so to search you now have to click on search first. I can clearly see there is available space for the search field on the home page, and i want it back there! I also wanna see, when i go into an artists page, the newest release (that has been showing at the top), and the whole discography showing as i scroll down, with all the songs listed for each album. Actually, the changes i want are already in the old UI, so i guess what i really want is just the old UI back. If not, i think im gonna have to find a different and better service for my music, because the new UI is useless and a HUGE step backwards. Also, let people chose if they wanna use new UI or old UI until you have fixed the new UI to be good enough, don't just force the new UI on everyone.

Idea to solve the new desktop release issue:

In the industry i work in, a lot of the software companies when they make major changes release what they call either a classic or legacy version which doesn't get any new features but continues to be updated to work with the newest operating systems.  This would be something cheap and easy Spotify could do to make a lot of people happy.

Please bring back the dates songs were added to playlists! I like using my playlists as a way of tracking and documenting my life, as I'm sure many others do as well, and it's really sad to see this feature go : (

SOLUCION... PARCIAL... /// SOLO PARCIALMENTE SOLUCIONADO

Esta claro que debería de arreglarlo la plataforma revisando la aplicación y poniendo solución, pero mientras tanto... una cosa que a mi me a funcionado es:

Tener la app en el móvil y en el PC. Ordeno las carpetas como quiero, y dentro pongo las listas que quiero...

Las listas que quiero tener en el móvil descargadas, las duplico desde el PC... por ej:

• Música 06/2021 (en el PC)
• Música 06/2021 (para el móvil)

Voy al movil... le doy a descargar a "Musica 06/2021 (para el movil)" y la otra lista me sigue apareciendo, y con las canciones descargadas... (el truco es no darle a descargar a esta).

Y cuando las quieras borrar, como no salen en el móvil, te vas al Pc y eliminas esa lista.

Stop adding things and revert desktop spotify to the previous UI versions. Everything worked better and was actually a usable experience. This latest update has done nothing but ruin the desktop client. Mobile and desktop are completely different platforms with vastly different user operation/functions. STOP MAKING DESKTOP CLIENTS MORE LIKE THE MOBILE ONES.
