November Ideas Review 2020

[Elena]

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

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

IMPLEMENTED:

1. [All Platforms][Podcasts] Downloaded podcasts should also play videos not just audio

We've now rolled out the ability to download video content for offline viewing for iOS and Android users.

This will be the new default setting, but you can easily toggle it off in the app settings to only save audio when downloading video podcasts.

2. [All Platforms][Podcasts] Download Audio Only

We're pleased to confirm that it's now possible to save audio-only when downloading video podcasts. Android and iOS users can toggle it off in the app settings

3. [All Platforms][Other] Allow SongShift and others to export songs again

Thanks for your feedback and suggestions on this one! This should now be implemented.

GOOD IDEA:

4. [Ads] Ads Filter

5. [Your Music] Add LOCAL FILES to Your Music

6. [Connect] Don’t automatically sync what I am playing across Devices

7. [Android] Remove the Shuffle / Play Button

CASE CLOSED:

8. [Playlists] Smart Playlists

9. [Playlists] Sort by Release Date

10. [Playlists] Statistics and Analytics for Playlists

NOT RIGHT
NOW:

11. [Your Music] Spotify Wrapped: Releases the Statistics weekly

12. [Playlists] Only selected Playlist Authors for Collaborative Playlist

13. [All Platforms] Customize Start Screen 

14. [Desktop] Allow an optional switch between desktop and web player look on desktop app

15. Make "Liked Songs" playlist shareable

16. [Discover Weekly] View previous Discover Weekly Playlists

I like to listen to different bands at the same time with the "Song radio" function on some of my favorite songs. But it seems that no matter what indie song I play, there's always That Foals Song and That Bombay Bicycle Club Song, even though they are not even my favorite songs . It would be super super good if these playlist could be a little different each time, maybe playing some other songs the most popular (?) ones. I'm getting tired of listening to music on Spotify really fast if this goes on.

Not sure how to submit ideas so giving this a try! I would really like it if Spotify would change adding a song to a playlist to show up at the top of the playlist, instead of at the bottom. Every time I add a song to a playlist, I then have to go and drag it from the very bottom to the very top, which is quite time consuming now that I have many songs in each playlist. I find new songs I add are the ones I want to listen to the most and so them being at the top of a playlist would be very helpful! Hopefully this can be changed. Thank you 🙂

I want to be able to organise my playlists better - selecting each song and adding it to a playlist takes too much time, I would like to be able to select multiple songs (that are already in one of my playlists) so I can add them to another playlist. 
On the desktop app I can make a playlist folder and shuffle play all song in that folder but on my mobile app I cant shuffle play the parent playlist folder, I can only play the individual playlists 😞

Hello,

 I come to support the words of @mergenc.

 It is true that Spotify has a considerable advantage when it comes to the interface, speed and podcast, moreover it is available on devices equipped with Google Assistant.

 Nevertheless, I think it is important to reconsider the possibility of a Hi-Fi subscription because it has taken a lot of popularity lately.

 You have a huge impact in the music industry and you have all the technical means to integrate high quality audio.

 It will only get you more subscriber and meet user demand and you will take a step ahead of digital continuity.

 I count on you.

 Thank you 🙂
