Genuinely happy to share that this amazing feature, which allows you to have the same exact audio for the left and right headphone/speaker, is now becoming available🎉

Another super-popular one 🙂 

Yes, Spotify HiFi is coming!

Exciting stuff! The 2021 Spotify feature release feast continues...

[abbynormalities]

this is all well and good, but when is blocking users finally going to be prioritized? it's absolutely baffling to believe that this basic social media function has been tabled for almost three years now, meanwhile we've been begging for -- again -- a BASIC function for nearly a decade. this isn't just a small thing to ignore, and I refuse to believe it's so difficult to implement that it's taken this long just to figure out how to make it happen & roll it out.

this is a matter of user safety, as can be well enough seen in the hundreds of comments on the idea submission page (which has received over 12k votes since being submitted in 2013, and last saw any sort of status update in 2018. I mean, seriously, it's being treated as some fun addition to consider rather than what it actually is). there isn't any reason that this feature has been missing since making it possible to follow other users, and it's flat-out disgraceful that it's been put on the backburner for so long. truly unconscionable.

SIMPLE THINGS WILL MAKE SPOTIFY EXPERIENCE (ANDROID) WHOLEEE LOT BETTER

- SWIPE SONG TO ADD TO QUEUE.

- SWIPE DOWN ON PLAYLISTS FOR SEARCH SONG BAR.

-SWIPE UP/DOWN ON PLAYER TO OPEN/HIDE.

ALL THIS IDEAS ARE SIMPLE SWIPE COMMAND AND FEATURES F**KI*G APPLE IOS HAVE AND ANDROID USERS DONT!

JUST ASKING FOR THE SAME FEATURES IOS ALREADY HAVE ON ANDROID, NOT A BIG DEAL!

Want an idea?

Bring back the liked songs by artist. Why did you even remove that????? It sucks

[hristo3874]

Hello Guys,

One thing that might be worth considering - provide users with the ability to customize their Spotify look and feel (especially for the Desktop version). I see that it has been recently updated, but some of the UX is not as good as it was in the previous version.

After all, design, coloring, styling, all of those are mostly up to personal taste and habits, so I think this should be included as a potential idea - customizing Spotify UX per profile/device.

Shoot me an email if you need any additional details, feedback or whatever helps making this possible.

Much appreciated,

Hristo

Please give us back the ability to view an artists discography page by song?

It was taken away on this last update to desktop and it seriously hinders the time spent switching songs while I am working on things. It was such a great feature, now I just have to click through albums trying to find the song I want to hear. I do like the look of the new layout though. Maybe you can have it show songs inside Artist/Discography/Albums or put another page inside that displays all songs.

Just some suggestions, please add some which way to look at all songs again, I hope I am not the only one that feels this way.

Would be fantastic if spotify develops a "Guess the lyrics" or "Guess the song from lyrics" or "Guess the song from the music" etc. for different music genres. Best if it has a party mode

Who the **bleep** thought it would be nice if we just make the Cover as small as possible and take the back panel picture as background. Please let me switch to the old design or adjust it or whatever but I cant live with such**bleep**.

The title bar in the new UX is massive compared to the older version. 'Liked Songs' now takes up a quarter of the page header. This is ugly and unnecessary, the older version felt far more compacted. 

The new UX looks like it was designed for children, massive text everywhere as if we can't see/read.

Bring back Artist column and be able to remove album artwork beside songs. It needs to feel far more compact than it currently does. I've reverted to the older version for now.
