Bring back the 'Songs' tab which would contain all tracks saved to the library (not just Liked songs) - Bringing back the 'Songs' Tab will make it possible to shuffle play through all songs that have been saved to the library. - It will also make it easy to see all downloaded songs when in Offline mode.   I enjoy an eclectic mix of music, and one of my favourite things to do pre-update was to go to the 'Songs' tab and select Shuffle play, and just randomly play through all the music saved to my library. Because it was just all songs, this would include songs from saved albums, songs saved into playlists etc.   Another benefit was that in offline mode it meant I could easily see what downloaded songs I had available to play. Especially useful if I wanted to play music in the car but not use data.   Unfortunately Spotify's new UI has removed this (very basic) feature, and attempted to replace it with a 'Liked Songs' playlist. My problem is that I don't usually 'like' a song to add it to my library. I either save a whole album, or I add an individual track to an existing playlist. It seems silly to me to have to add another step of 'liking' a song to this process, just so that it can be added to the 'Liked songs' playlist. I'm going to end up having to 'Like' every single song in my library- and what will be the point of that?   I currently have a premium subscription, and I definitely find it frustrating to have the main way that I use Spotify now impossible! Hope others with a similar issue find this Idea helpful, cheers. ... View more

Ok we get it, Spotify doesn't want us to have a music library, we're supposed to be doing thumbs up or thumbs down on stations... K except one problem Spotify. THATS PANDORA. I'm cancelling my subscription soon if they don't revert Spotify back to where it's like a music store (you pay for the music, you pay for SD cards and phone service, you should be able to save your music) ...

On (at least) the iphone app, selecting a playlist and then swiping on the main summary top bit, it says who it was made by, last edited, and how long the total playlist time is. I would love to see a feature where it simply says how many songs are in such playlist. I believe it does this on the computer app, though not iphone?    Even when scrolling throughMusic->Playlists, simply seeing how many songs are in there instead of just the cover art, name of the playlist, who it’s made by, and maybe the download sign, just say next to that how many are in there     Thanks! ...

With this new update, the new location/functionality of the 'Recently Played' list has negatively impacted how I listen to music in a big way. I'm going to be more specific with this request since apparently the last time this was requested and got 600+ votes, it was closed for a dumb reason.   I'm suggesting back the OLD recently played list to the library page. I'm suggesting this with full knowledge that you've already implemented another (worse) recently played list on the home page. The new list involves massive photos with much less emphasis on the names of the items but the artwork instead, that scroll horizontally (only showing 2-3 items at a time), with no ability to hide items, and on top of ALL that garbage: it requires an internet connection (it's on the home page of course). There's also not even a guarantee that this horizontal list will be at the top of your Home page because Spotify likes to put promoted content up there and shift everything else down - even though you pay money and don't want ads getting in the way of using the app normally.   And if you don't move this back to the library page, then how about somewhere else? Make it require a button press on the library screen to get to my recently played list for all I care. I just want my vertical OFFLINE list of songs back.   I'm hoping this maybe has a different response. The last time someone posted this idea they didn't acknowledge the fact that there is a new location for recently played and Spotify simply responded: "we moved it". This post isn't suggesting that there isn't a recently played list, it's suggesting that in its current form it sucks. ... View more

Make the Artists and Albums Tabs under music drop down menus with the option to sort by either followed artists, or saved artists (now liked artists) for the artists tab and liked albums, and saved albums for the albums tab. What I mean by this is have the Albums and Artists tab show all of the artists that you have songs from, OR the artists you've followed or albums you have specifically saved.   To clarify, for both tabs, have the option of viewing artists or albums from which you have saved music, as the old albums and artists tabs function, or artists you've followed or albums you've specifically saved, as the new artists and albums tabs works. This will return the functionality of the artists and albums tab that was lost with the new update (I have 3.5k songs, but artists now only shows 8 artists, and I have no way to sort through artists from songs I've saved) without forcing you to conpletely remove the followed artists and saved albums tabs you implemented in the new update. ...

Hello,   I've just discovered the daily drive playlist, and I love it for my commute, so I set it up to auto download. The news segments do not auto download, though, so I have to download them manually before I leave, or my playlist will abruptly stop when they come up. I'd love it if the news breaks would download with the rest of the playlist. ... View more

This idea was expressed well in a post (# 1658026) created on 4/26/17 by @BehindTheLyrics and received almost 2,500 votes before it was recently marked as a duplicate and closed on 6/25/19. However, the idea that the mod linked to is not the same at all.   Could you please reactive the original idea so that everyone who voted will be properly notified with status updates going forward? Just to be clear, I'll paste the original idea below. Thanks!   ------------ You guys finally listened and implemented a sort-of lyrics system on Android now, Genius' "Behind the Lyrics" (BTL). Now, BTL sometimes shows lyrics, and sometimes shows Genius' explanations for why the lyrics that are being sung that moment are written. So the app can display the lyrics at the proper times already. Genius also already has the full lyrics to most songs in their database. Let us toggle it so it doesn't switch to the explanations. Just the lyrics. I like the explanations, don't get me wrong, but sometimes I want to see what they hear at a specific time, if I can't understand them the explanation won't help me. ... View more

With the latest update all my artists and albums from my saved songs disappeared. That feature was great to listen to one artist and play the songs you saved prior and like of this specific artist.  Also it would be nice if you add the artists from your playlists as well, so you can play all the songs from an artist that are downloaded (in playlists and saved songs).  I hope u get what I'm trying to say. ...

I recently updated the mobile app and have some issues with the new arrangment. The little three dot 'more' button has moved from right near the play button to the top right hand corner of the screen. As someone who frequently goes in search of new music on the go (often while biking) and adds it to my various playlists, I miss the convenience of being able to do so easily, with one thumb without having to adjust my grip entirely/use two hands. That button is one used so often, it should go back to a convenient (i.e. lower) location on the play screen. Additionally, I use the play queue constantly and it is now two clicks away to see/edit the upcoming songs which frankly is silly. I'm not sure why the buttons were changed around but it seems to have just made everything more inconvenient and take more time. Please change it back.  ... View more

On album pages, the mobile app has a "Shuffle Play" button, while the Desktop app has a "Play" button. This UX is inconsistent and should be aligned across clients.   Shuffle play makes sense for playlists, not albums. I would suggest updating the mobile app to use the "Play" button already in place on the desktop app. ... View more

It may just be my Samsung Galaxy S9, but the hit boxes of Spotify's action buttons for individual songs overlap with the hit box of the scrollbar. Please move the action buttons to the left side of the screen. Alternatively, please allow the long tap as an alternative trigger for the menu.   I was going to attach a screenshot, but I can't get the scrollbar to show. ... View more

There is nothing better than meeting someone with the same/ similar music taste. But why not show off what you are actively listening to, and see who else is starting their day to the same tunes.    A simple mix, similar to snapmaps that shows others in the area and what they are listening to. It would be an add on or extra, so premium members can change settings based on distance etc.    For obvious reasons it wouldn’t show exact locations, but could allow for others to connect through the passion of music. A way for people to follow accounts, mix up their usual playlist and get to know like minded individuals. Their could be the option of messaging or simply commenting/ liking someone’s song or playlist, or a recommendation feature to introduce a new song.   Music is probably the most popular art form and it’s crazy if we don’t maximise connection through individuality.         ...

Since the latest update I've been unable to listen to the album by a artist back to back. For instance if I was listening to Bon Jovi I could listen to Slippery When Wet followed by Keep The Faith. Now I have to click on each album individually    I can go to liked songs and listen to it that was but the album is played back in alphabetical order.   Could Spotify change it so when you can list your liked songs in Artist Order, then the songs in album order ...

As per the recent update, the Recently Played section has now moved to the home screen. However, unlike before, this section is only limited to 12 spots and I would like to see more. It also just doesn't feel right that I am unable to see it scrolling up and down rather than horizontal scrolling. It feels very restricting. Hopefully I am not alone on this.  ... View more

Hi, well, i usually drive a nissan that doesnt have a lot of features, but i can connect it to my cellphone just fine with the aux cord, but i dont like seeing the cellphone to next/previous the songs.

Currently with the new UI in Spotify there’s no real way to save music without liking it or making a playlist. There’s also no way to save a paritial album unless you intend to make a playlist named after the album but only with the songs you want.   So rather than making 50+ playlists Spotify should implement (or should I say re-inplent) saving songs and being able to view saved songs by Artist, Album, Genre, etc. rather than having their users put in the work by making playlists of paritial albums and for all the songs by their favorite artists.    There’s nothing wrong with liking songs, following artists, or being able to see full albums with very few clicks/taps, but it shouldn’t replace songs, artists, and paritial albums that users decide to save. ...

So Spotify in March 2019 made the "Now Playing" section as inconvient as possible be revamping it.    I have made some posts detailing my frustration so if you want to read those, here you go:  https://community.spotify.com/t5/iOS-iPhone-iPad/Stop-changing-the-iOS-app-Spotify/m-p/4702427 https://community.spotify.com/t5/iOS-iPhone-iPad/Behind-the-Lyrics-changed-for-no-reason-UI-changed-for-no-reason/m-p/4713380 https://community.spotify.com/t5/Closed-Ideas/Your-Library-Bring-Spotify-s-old-UI-back/idc-p/4714846#M165676 https://community.spotify.com/t5/iOS-iPhone-iPad/i-miss-the-old-behind-the-lyrics-for-iOS/m-p/4728336   I didn't want to make a 5 post, but here we are, 4 months later. Spotify has done nothing to change stuff. In fact, a few weeks ago, they rolled out another update for the Library, which isn't as severe, but it shows that Spotify is happy with pushing out rushed updates overnight.  Apple Music, for example, has only overhauled it's UI once in iOS 10, something which users had time to prepare for. Tidal hasn't overhauled it's UI once (I believe).   To the Spotify staff reading this: Please don't write that you will "pass it on to the right folks". You are not. I have been reading your repsonses and that is what you have kept saying. That statement means nothing when you have done nothing to revert the update or to calm users down.    Never in the 3 years using Spotify have I been this upset about the service.  ... View more
