I really want this feature to return, its a feature i used everyday as a music addict   [If you want to search for a song within any playlist, regardless if its your own or not, this is no longer possible the way we know. Currently we have to click on the three dots in the top right corner to open a new menu, select there "Search in Playlist" and after that, start typing in what we want to search. This is as bad as it can get! Please bring back the old search function where you just have to scroll at the top and select "Search"!]   Some quote i got from other thread, please have it return  ...

When I download a "This is [artist]" playlist, I want to be able to access that within the "Artists" section. When I want to listen to something, I sort by artist so looking thorugh them and seeing one I feel like listening to, then going out and into the "playlist" section to see if I've already followed their "This is" playlist is a real hack. It should be in the section of the artist themseleves.   Overall the navigation on mobile is too clunky and I have to go through way too many sub menu's to find anything. To me, it's not intuitive at all. ... View more

PLEASE VOTE THIS UP!! Sometimes you want to link a certain song in a playlist and then have it continue to play other songs from that playlist. Unfortunately in Spotify you can only link to a song from an artists page or link the playlist as a whole but then it always starts at the top song. I feel we should be able to link to a song inside the playlist and then have them checkout other great songs on that playlist. This would also help with gaining followers alsince they can check out more content. As a playlist creator who creates multiple playlist featuring up and coming artists this would allows us to promote all songs on the playlist equally versus the top slots getting most of the exposure. PLEASE VOTE THIS UP!! ... View more

Spotify to track your location  especially when go travel for a trip, track the songs you played  during your trip, then make a playlist featuring the songs hence giving you the good vibes and memories you had on your trip.    Example: "Paris June 2018"   Ideally it would make the playlist for you months after your trip, that you started to forget about what a great time you had there. ...

I would really like to listen to podcasts directly from Spotify on my new Samsung Galaxy Watch.  There is currently no way to access my podcasts or download them to listen to online.  This is such a critical feature for those of us who like to listen to pods while walking/exercising.  Please consider this update. ...

The option to “opt-out” of certain artists and/or content has been a recurrent need in the Spotify community – as evidenced from community posts dated 2012 requesting a feature that prevents unsubscribed artists from appearing on curated or trending playlists recommended to users by Spotify. In 2017, the “case was closed” after 4000+ up-votes with no action taken by Spotify.   As paid subscribers, Spotify users can direct their support to artists, allowing for accurate “streaming numbers” that credit the artists’ work. In the same metric, paid subscribers should be able to “opt-out” of artists that they do not want to support financially (for whatever reason).   I would not go out and buy a Chris Brown record because he is a misogynist abuser of women and I will not be involved in supporting his career. However, I have no way of ensuring that his content does not stream on my account when using Spotify features I pay for. If an artist get paid per stream – I require the freedom to opt-out of that artist.   This is not an “up-voting” issue, but more, a fundamental membership issue that contributes to an unsafe user experience. This is not simply a matter of “not wanting to hear artists who are against my views” but rather, not wanting to support artists who are criminal offenders. I just assume this would be a priority for Spotify.     It may not be a popular feature with artists, not based on the 4000+ community up-votes, it is essential to users. ... View more

So I had an idea last week having to do with comparing music taste with friends. I've already seen (and love) the idea of having an automatic mutual songs playlist you can connect with a friend's account, but a cool addition I also thought of would be to add what percentages your music taste is in common. This could either be individual or between the two. Individual might say I listen to 62% Indie Folk, 20% alternative rock and 18% pop (changes with what you play overtime). And I can compare it with my friend's percentages. The other option would be for it to calculate what percentage overall your music taste is similar. This might look like "you and --- share 78% taste in music based on genre" or something along those lines. (It could also list what artists you both listen to etc.) It could be played around with a bit to make it most interesting and accurate!  ... View more

If there were others interested, it would be great to provide a curated station run by a dj based on the different musical genres.   This is not a new concept for having internet radio stations but I wonder if it fits well in the spotify portfolio with the market saturation, library, application and subscription model.  WOXY was a great example of an internet radio station for alternative music years ago before it shut down.    I would suggest that this would only be available to premium members as to have a revenue stream to not rely on advertisements which would mess with the flow of the programming.    Discover Weekly is great and I am sure much work has been put into the algorithms for finding new music but having different people selecting and playing songs based on different focused shows would also be great.  Deep cuts from popular artists with minimal plays, new music highlights, top X format. These are all possibilities and would take advantage of the data already being collected across the platform.  Clearly a request based format is just what is available now, but there could always be suggestions submitted to the dj's. ...

I'm often frustrated by the many useless entries that pollute the "back button" navigation history. For instance:   1. I search for something and get a search result 2. Click one of the matches, an artist 3. Click the artist and reach their overview page 4. Go to the artist's bio 5. Go to the "fans also like" page 6. Go to the overview page again   Here comes the frustrating part: 7. Now I feel I'm done with this artist and want to go back to my search results. But clicking the "back" button takes me back to the previous location only , and to get back to the search results, I must keep clicking all the way through steps 6, 5, 4, 3...   Of course, a direct link back to the search results would solve this particular problem. But I think some smart deletion of navigation history entries would spare the user many frustrations in many situations.   In this example, I would want all the navigation within the Artist sub-pages deleted once I return to the artist overview page. There are only four pages in this space and it does not serve me to re-live how I went back and forth between them.   Thanks, Mattias ... View more

You can tell the system the artists and songs you like, but telling the system you don't like artists is much less intuitive. I love Bryce Vine, so I press the like button. I know I don't like Cardi-B (Don't hate on me), so why can't I search her up and "dislike" her? I think this is a necessary feature to implement. You are selling a personalized music experience, and it is very annoying to get songs or artists in my auto-play I could very easily mark as not wanted.  Thank you! ... View more

When i'm adding a song to a playlist. The playlist order should be sorted by the date the last song added to the playlist was. I was adding songs to an old playlist of mine and I had to scroll down my lists for each addition. Not a dealbreaker for me, but it's tedious.  ... View more

Hi there community, I would like it if there was a way to not only use the like and dislike buttons, but also being able to indicate whether you just don't like a particular song or if it's the artist you don't like. I know Apple Music does have this feature and I would love to see it implemented in Spotify. ... View more

There should be a feature that lets you search through your OWN playlists. Whether (some) your own playlists will show up in search is currently pure luck.   You could, for instance, expand the "Spotify:user:[username]" operator to be used as a normal search operator just like "track:[trackname]" and any other search operator.   That would, for an example let me search for "Christmas spotify:user:Marium0505" and have all playlists which include "Christmas" in the playlist name and that are made by me.   Of course, this search should only show public playlists when you're searching for another Spotify user, but both public and private playlists when you're searching for your own playlists. ...

Don't know why it does this now, but the old way was much better when it just default named playlists as "Artist - Album Name" like how it does on desktop platforms. Would really like to see it implented again for quality of life reasons. Thanks. ... View more

I follow a bunch of users [not artists] because I am interested in their musical tastes.   Why can I not view a list of those people so I can check their playlists? I'd like to browse the playlists these people create, but there doesn't seem to be a simple way to view them without also viewing the artists I follow, which I don't want to do. ... View more

Other media player apps such as Kodi / XBMC / Musicbee / VLC can perform a Stereo Upmix which is an idea feature if you're playing through a receiver via HDMI.  Spotify does take advantage of hardware acceleration, so DTS/Dolby or even just mechanically upmixing should be possible.   Please implement a stereo upmix to 5.1 / 7.1 surround within the app (i.e., all channels stereo). ...

Spotify used to have thumbs up and thumbs down buttons.  I really liked that Spotify offered that great feature which, I believe, worked.  Those buttons never worked on Pandora so I left Pandora for Spotify.   Since then, Spotify got rid of the thumbs down button and replaced it with (what looked like) a "do not enter" button that, when I hit it, it stopped playing the song and moved onto the next song.  I used it just two days ago. Now the "do not enter" button is gone.  Why?  (And the songs that were playing when I hit the "do not enter" button are back on the Play Queue...like bad seafood.)   I mostly use the Radio function to listen to songs.   Why must I listen to songs I don't want to ever hear or from artists (the term is used loosely) from whom I don't want to ever hear?   What is the point of me paying for music that depresses or upsets me? ...

Spotify is great.    It's my most used app by far. As far as aesthetic goes, I am totally in love with the green and black scheme that has been Spotify's trademark for years now. But you know what could make Spotify even better? A social tab.   Yes, there is a live feed of what your friends are listening to on the desktop version. But you can't really interact with it.    If Spotify could add a new "Social" tab (along with the current Home, Search, and Your Library pages), interacting with friends would become so much easier.   The tab would include whatever your friends are listening to, but also an area where you and your friends can add a "Highlight" section. In the Highlight section, you can post any song/playlist/album/artist that you are currently listening to. Whenever a friend visits your profile, they'll be introduced to your newest hits!   This new social tab would also make it much easier to navigate to friend's pages, especially on the mobile version (which most users have).    And there are so many more ideas that can be added to a social aspect! This is just the tip of the iceberg!    Your fellow Spotifier, SJJBuckeye ... View more
