In Apple Carplay there is no option to sort the songs as on the iPhone.

The songs are all sorted alphabetically.
Its very annoying to scroll down to the newest songs.

How long does it take for an idea to have the status changed? For example a post I've been watching finally got 500+ votes in the beginning of January, does this mean it will not be decided on until the end of January? When is each month's idea review posted?

[Deadjim]

@bananaslug I wouldn't hold my breath. I've seen ideas with many thousands of votes get ignored by them for months. Then when they did finally get around to viewing it, they just shut it down for reasons that had nothing to do with the idea.

The whole "idea" thing is a complete joke and time waster.

Spotify wants to hear your ideas but that pretty much as far as it goes especially if it'll cost them money but imagine if you start losing all your subscribers Spotify since you refused to listen.....

hey there! How about an implementation of time functions such as alarm clock and timer off? It’d be amazing and it seems an easy update. Cheers!
