When looking for a song by searching it via the Spotify Search Field, I am missing my playlists in the results that contain this specific song. This would be valuable, as sometimes, only one song of a playlist is on my mind, but I would like to access the whole playlist that contains this song.  ... View more

I was thinking about how me and my sister can't decide on what music to play when we are together so what if there was a feature where you can intertwine playlists. Basically, you play two (or more if possible) playlists at once and they play in turns. So, lets say there are 3 playlists, it would go, song from Playlist A, song from Playlist B, song from Playlist C, song from Playlist A, song from Playlist B and so on. This would make it so everyone gets a bit of music that they enjoy without having to mix playlists or anything.  ... View more

I know this is gonna sound like I'm calling for a new streaming service entirely, but hear me out. The idea boils down to rather than downloading songs via playlists, download them/ save them into just a user's song "vault". Then the user can create labels that they can attach to whatever song. Say that I have the song "Back in Black", I'd attach the labels "Classic Rock", "70's", and "Harley Drives".  Instead of picking a playlist to listen to, I could select a label to add to the queue and listen to. (to get even more fancy it would be nice to have folders of labels within labels such as "Rock" but within that you have "classic rock", "punk rock", "2000's rock", etc. and you could choose to either play all of the "Rock" Label or one (or more) of the specific labels.) This is just a rough idea but I've thought about this since I was on grooveshark and it's been my dream to have a music service this flexible. ... View more

1/ It’s annoying that I have to google the lyrics 2/ If there’s a filter for my "liked" it would be great like by genre for example OR you can see each song's genre generally. 3/ It would be great if there was an "option" to make my likes public, so friends could see for example. 4/ Friends Listening activity is not available on phone.   These are the main points that I’ve been struggling with since I started using Spotify  Thank you. ...

As we know, lots of us just listen a song and like it, but a big percent of that group don’t like/have time to creat ur own playlist. So sometimes u want to listen one kind of genre of ur liked songs but u can’t, cause u don’t created an playlist of that musical style. So if the platform creat an option for us select to sort by genre it would help everyone a lot. I imagine that artists should have to put the genre of their music that will be placed on the platform, so this information already helps a lot in the development of this function. ...

There are some songs or pieces that are meant to be listened to back to back. This would be similar to an "album shuffle" feature except you would link these songs to always be played together. So perhaps it's an intro to a first song and a first song on an album OR a piece with multiple movements. You can't truly listen to things on shuffle with multiple components or movements without adding them to the queue which defeats one big purpose of the shuffle. ... View more

All the functions available on mobile should be available on desktop. I'm not really sure why both platforms wouldn't be the same but it would be nice to have consistency across all of them. Features currently not on desktop that I've noticed: 1. Find within playlist 2. Hide from playlist 3. Remove from playlist- by using the album art right click - (currently you have to find the song in the playlist by scrolling through then remove it)     ... View more

Dear Spotify, here are a few requests to make it better 1)why dont you show the release date of the song after the song title 2)why dont you add a button to show the full lyrics of a song if it's available in your database. If not available just gray out the button. Thanks ... View more

I am proposing an idea that would bring multi-layered playlist functionality. Basically a playlist can be divided into smaller playlist-parts as you wish.  So example: Playlist A - English Songs  Playlist A.1 - Pop 2020  Playlist A.2 - Drake 2020 Playlist B - French   This provides multiple advantages :  1) Multiple layers allow you to share smaller chunks of music with people and allow more people to modify on a smaller playlist in collaboration while not touching your major playlist collections. 2) Searching and customizing music playlists to your tastes, language, likes, and sharing them. 3) Allow DJ's and other to have more control over playlists ( As mentioned in a previous post) 4) Stop duplication of songs over playlists (unless you explicitly add it in two different playlists)   Feature request : 1) Treat each sub-playlist as an individual playlist 2) Share, parent-child playlist with different permissions. 3) Ability to move playlist around to different parents 4) Play multiple playlists by playing the parent.   ...

When you like albums or add them to your library, they appear on your "Albums" section. Where you can order them by artist, so you can have all the albums from the same artist together. But then the albums within a same artist are arranged alphabetically like the artists. Instead i'd like for the albums of a same artist to be arranged by release date. So what im saying is that the albums i save to my library be arranged by artist and then within each artist by release date, so as to have the order the albums came out in. Or at least have the option. Thanks ... View more

Many of my playlists that I have made have 100, 300 or even 1000 songs in them and I constantly add and remove songs from them. Its really annoying to scroll through all of those songs to find the one that's currently playing so that I can remove it if I desire. This problem could also be solved by adding a "remove from playlist" button to the song menu when the player is brought up on screen on mobile or when right clicking the song at the bottom left of the screen in the web player. ...

Spotify used to be a platform for music for everyone to equally enjoy. However, spotify follows the general societal trend of politicizing and polarising every aspect of our daily lives despite being a music platform. The creators force their views on the community by applying controversial rules or simply putting political messages on their main pages that not everyone might agree on. They also promote musicians they prefer because of their political views, but suppress musicians with differing political views - even if they are part of the general democratic spectrum.   Spotify should be about music, and it should include the whole political spectrum - not only the preferred viewpoint of the creator.   Furthermore, it should try to take a mostly neutral stance and provide music, not politics. It should not be an amplifier or instrumentalized for political messaging, it should be a platform dedicated to music. It should never suppress any artist from expressing his art, with the sole exception of direct calls for violence or persecution of a group.   Note that I am german and this has nothing to do with US politics. I am speaking in a general sense.   ... View more

The podcast „Lagebesprechung“ is made by Ein Prozent e.V., a society investigated by the German Verfassungsschutz (the „secret service“ to protect the constitution against threads). It calls itself „patriotic“, but it's part of the far right movement that does not respect people if not German.   As long as this Podcast is free to collect donations for an actually blacks-hating society, Spotify's statement for Black Lives Matter was nothing but hypocrisy. Instead, you help nationalist make feel black Germans feel being strangers in their own home country.   I subscribed to Spotify thinking it was a company with values. But instead, we get protests against Spotify here in Germany due to it working together with fascists. Now you can show those values you state to havr by following this idea and limit the damage you've caused:   Ban hate-speech! Ban „Ein Prozent e.V.“! ... View more

As I am sure you are aware, the band formerly known as “Lady Antebellum” has changed their name to “Lady A” the same name as a Seattle Blues, Gospel, and Funk singer who has been using the name for decades. In an attempt to break connotations of slavery, they have taken the name of a black woman who has worked hard for her name. A is still an abbreviation for Antebellum. They have not really changed their name, and their actions are pure examples of that. They are the example of white privilege and I believe Spotify should promote artists that are inclusive. Lady Antebellum is not. They should no longer be available for streaming or at the very least appear 2nd to the real Lady A on the search prompt. Thank you 😊   ... View more

With the protests happening yesterday and today in response to police brutality and the senseless murders of several unarmed black people, I think that Spotify should donate a portion or all of the profits they make from people streaming the Black Lives Matter playlist under Black History is Now in discover. There are many avenues to donate, but the simplest would be to Black Lives Matter movement. This is a way for people who can't afford to donate to still support the movement financially and could be a limited action on behalf of Spotify. Here's the donation tab for BLM if any other users want to donate directly  ...

In light of the BLM movement, I think that Spotify should enable an in-app notification (similar to those we already receive regarding new music, etc.) that can redirect users to the Black Lives Matter website linked with loads of ways to contribute to the movement (petitions, donations, and more) when a user goes to stream a Black artist’s songs, view their profile, or listen to their playlists. Personally, Black artists make up a large percentage of my streaming on the app and I feel that is the same case for other users. This in-app notification would contribute greatly to the movement by creating an easy way to access the BLM site and by reaching a large number of people worldwide.  ... View more

I believe that Spotify should allow artists the option of directing a percentage, or all, of their stream revenue to the funds or charities of their choice. Public demonstration is great, but money is also needed to bring about change. I think a system such as this would be a great help.    Thanks!   Austin ... View more

There are currently three navigation buttons at the bottom of the app, Home, Search, and Your Library. In order to get to my podcasts, which is what I primarily use Spotify for, I must first click Your Library then Podcasts then Shows to first see a list of what I'm subscribed to and who has a new episode released.   If you want Spotify to be a hub for podcasts and podcast listeners, you need to make this a main part of the app and more accessible. I propose adding a Podcast button directly to the bottom navigation. That button takes you to a page with two tabs at the top: Shows and Episodes. ... View more

Spotify is great but I still miss the physicality of listening to music.  What if..... you could make mix tapes and mail them to people for a few bucks.  It would be a laser cut piece of plastic with either a chip or a scan bar that you could place on your phone....and the mix would start.  Personally I think it'd be amazing if cassette rules applied i.e. no skipping tracks....just rewind and fast forward, and flipping the tape over for the other side.  **all this should be recyclable  ...
