Check out the LYIRCS section below for this.

And not only...

If you take a look at the OTHERS section, you'll find some more good surprises, including a major one about implementing something you've kept requesting for a long time.

Hello, my name is Nia Harley I am from Charlotte, North Carolina, I currently attend the University of Illinois Chicago and I play for their Women's Soccer team. I have a proposal that I thought about while me and my teammates were selecting music to play on our speaker. This was a challenge because while we workout we all love to hear current Rap and R&B but our coach requires us to play the Clean versions. Because of this our manager can't play her personal created playlists because most of the songs are explicit and spends her time looking each individual song up to find the clean version which becomes tedious. I believe it would be beneficial if there were a button that you could press on your personal created playlists that could switch all songs to clean versions. Essentially an on or off button that read "clean" If there was a song on the playlist that does not have a clean version on the app the user would be notified and the option would be to skip over this song while the playlist is going or play it anyways. This would be extremely beneficial for cases like mine, school functions, when you're in public places such as a neighborhood or public pool, the park, etc. I would love to hear what others think and what you all think as well. Thank you.

Spotify's Live Ideas forums are just lip service. They don't actually ever do anything with our ideas. They let these posts accumulate and then post a boilerplate about "Great idea, we'll look into it!" - but then they never do anything about it.

Have a look over at this 2 year old, 36 page long Shuffle Play Live Idea that Spotify hasn't done a thing about:

https://community.spotify.com/t5/Live-Ideas/All-Platforms-Option-to-have-a-true-shuffle/idc-p/535019...

They even went had a community guy come in and ask for more information. We obliged yet every single DM to him from multiple people has been ignored for 6 months now.

Again we're talking about a Shuffle Play that doesn't work properly. You know, Shuffle Play, that thing that randomly plays songs without grouping them or repeating them, just like your old car CD player or 20 year old MP3 player would do. The thing that any one with a passing knowledge of coding can do in probably 30 minutes. We've even had volunteers post the code on that Live Idea thread.

We're not trying to send a person to Mars with this or generate a new chain to mint Spotify NFTs. We just want the Shuffle Play fixed, but that seems a nigh impossibility for Spotify. Even basic communication with the dedicated forums members who request these changes seems to be an impossibility.

This is called a monthly ideas review. Why am I seeing a post from November?

The entire Spotify team is terrible. Why even pretend you care about these ideas when you ignore the ones your customers want most?

Don't worry, I'm not expecting an actual response since I know how terrible you all are at your jobs.

Can anyone give an update on "[iOS] Implement Native HomePod Support" => over 4000 votes.

But Spotify doesn't care.

Please give us a short update! Is it not planned to integrate this feature?
