Good Day, spotify coders and product development team. Your last UI update was bungled but this is how you get back in the game. It also follows the "Agile at Spotify" way of doing code deployments where features can be turned on and off as desired.   I will lay out the idea and how this can be implemented. When a user starts the app they can fully choose which features are turned on/installed in the app. After choosing the options, the application does a background download for the correct feature modules (hint you can use the same data stream as your music downloads, or even the background app update service to install the code modules).   For example if a user enables the alphabetized artists and songs list, it gets added to the app. If they DON'T select podcast ability it doesn't get installed. I literally never listen to podcasts so that whole part of the app gets in the way.   This means a few things for the user.   The application size can be smaller and more lightweight for those who don't use many features in the app. Users can choose features that fit their app use style instead of a one size fits all option which never makes everyone happy. If you are weary of making too many options pick 3-5 options. The "power browser", "search fanatic", "playlist pirate" user/interfaces or even an option "Let spotify choose for me" that can be used for new users to make it simple yto get going. Each can have it's own feel with a UI experience that highlights how people ACTUALLY use the app. Implementation: Currently many apps in iPhone and Android download updates in the application. They also allow you to do things like change the app icon. Your app already downloads and compresses song data, use the same mechanism to get the code modules onto the device and loaded into memory. Save the data like you would a song on the device and load it on app start.   @ehamz2000  Please spread the word to get votes on this so we at least get a response from Spotify on this idea. I hate the new interface release and the loss of the alphabetized list. I saw they closed your post, so this is truly an original idea. ... View more

The spotify ios app has the feature of adding songs to the queue just by sweeping right in the song. It would be really good if this feature is added in the next update for android. ... View more

I, for one, actually like the Canvasing ideas on songs. To be honest, I wish there was more as I have my phone on a charging dock on my desk next to my monitor (audio bluetoothed to my stereo) and I can't help but think that the idea of the canvas should be expanded to tablets and the desktop app. I think its a nice surprise, even if its only a few seconds on a loop for the length of the song.  I'm sure over time you'll add more to iconic songs of the past as you also keep adding them to newly released tracks. I see there are plenty of other users out there that don't particularly care for the option. That's fine; it's not for everybody. I still think it should be expanded upon. When I'm using airplay at home to listen to music, it always gets my attention when the canvases pop up, but this doesn't happen when I have my iPad on airplay, just iPhone. The canvas seems like a more lively visual compared to just a plain 'Now Playing' screen. Just something to consider.  ... View more

So, having a composer search hasn't worked in the past. What about having composer verification and letting them add the songs they've worked on to their profiles? If the composers are verified beforehand by submitting proof of composition and identity then they can add their songs (perhaps a further proof step here?) to a verified playlist of what they've done?    The onus of proof is put back on the composer then and creates less work for Spotify and the label but still let's composers showcase their work. ...

Wouldn't it be great to be able to share those awesome moments of intense musical pleasure with your freinds, loved ones and even the world..... The moments when the bass beats drop, or the melody kicks in, even the times when the power riffs are strummed on a Heavy Metal guitar by your favourite band. It could even be the moment when the lead singer sings your favourite hook of the main chorus. You get my drift. Sometimes that feeling you get when you hear something so powerful is indescribable yet it's so real and so present, that you just wish you could share it with someone. Sometimes it's just not enough to experience it on your own when you know so many others would love and appreciate it too. I know Spotify has restrictions on sharing of songs and distribution of music etc and I'm not saying music should be freely shared by the whole world, in no way should that be the case. What I am saying is that lets look at it like this....... Why can't there be a sharing to Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, Twitter, Messenger and all other social media platforms etc etc option where it strictly only allows the selection of either a 15 or 20 sec portion of a song to be highlighted ONLY and shared via linked social media multiple selected accounts or single whatever is the preference. Along with the small audio sample can be the album artwork, artist name, or album, playlist if it's from one and a link to Spotify to hear more of the track or sign up to Premium if desired and they like the song and the format they hear it in. The sample is strictly for listening and cannot be downloaded, and respect for artist rights and record labels must be of highest regards. That's why I think if this idea is done right it will work well because not only will it protect the artists work but it will promote past, present and future releases as people experience them and post a 'SPOTY'. It will give the artists even more exposure and drive even more traffic to their full songs and works on Spotify meaning they get more streams, meaning Spotify is happy and the artist is happy also, and most of all the consumer is happiest because they will have the chance to hear samples of music they may not have heard if not for a 'SPOTY' shared from Spotify to Facebook or Instagram for example. @DJ-MastaJ thinks this is a great way to embrace music and share the best moments we love of it with others! It's a great way to show support for our favourite music and artists and really get behind them by showing others what our favourite artists music sounds like in a brief audio sample, and where to go to find it. That is to Spotify of course :) ... View more

Is there a chance to realease PWA (webapp) to Microsoft Store. It would be great to have a choice between clasic desktop application and "light" version for tablets and slower devices. Yes I know, that I can run Spotify in browser but it's not so convinient. There is also PWA application for Google Chrome, which I'm also not opt to. ... View more

I love that Spotify is now streaming podcasts. One of my favorite features on the mobile version is the ability to see new episodes, continue listening, or downloaded episodes. I would like the same options available on the desktop version. Currently, I am only able to sort by name or recently added. Even when sorted by recently added, I have to choose each podcast individualy to see what episode has been posted. Thanks again for the service you provide. Love the platform. ... View more

So, I hope I'm not the only one who dislikes the Spotify for Desktop(Windows in this case). I think Spotify should go for a more modern, smooth approach like Tidal, for example. The main thing that annoys me is grey shades in the app. They are distracting, and I don't like how they look. I think pure black would be a nice improvement. I also think the overall UI and UX can be improved. The scrolling through the app is kinda choppy (maybe it's just me?). I am sure other things can be improved too.   Before After It would be nice if you consider refreshing the UI/UX to something more modern :)     ... View more

I find that the possible genre tags when posting a playlist for the playlist exchange often doesn't contain the genre of the playlist I would like to submit, so it would be nice to be able to add a "custom" or "other" tag we could fill in, or at least add classical to the list of genres.   I know it's possible to add custom tags after the playlist has been submitted, but if none of the provided genres provided fit, the playlist becomes mislabeled with at least one genre. ...

Spotify desperately requires adding a CLI argument for that status of the playing song! For instance you enter: spotify --status on the cli and get something like: Song | Artists | Album | Position That would be epic, and would eliminate the need for relying on shpotify and other wrapper scripts that can potentially break due to updates.  ...

Its 4th of July and my neighbors are lighting fireworks. Im playing a relaxing playlist for my dog and literally every song or 2 is followed by atleast 3 ads. This seems excessive. If I've already listened to 10 mins worth of ads shouldn't that give me more than 6 minutes of continuous music before the next one? This is ridiculous. Every time the playlist is interrupted by an ad you can hear the fireworks. If the ad situation isnt remedied I'll probably just go back to using youtube. ... View more

Currently Spotify - and the advertisement language - defaults to the country I reside in and doesn't give me any choice to keep receiving content from my country of origin. For every expatriate, foreign exchange student, foreign worker, people on vacation etc., this is just annoying.   Whether or not someone would like to listen to the local music is up to personal taste, but I think it's true for almost every non-native person that any sort of advertisement, any offer from a country they temporarily reside in is completely irrelevant for them, so not only is the advertisement mistargeted, it might not even be understood at all, if said non-native person doesn't speak the local language.   I speak four languages, only one of them is native to the countries I visited the last 15 years, and that means I've been frequenting five different countries where Spotify advertisements made absolutely no sense to me, and "gibberish" interrupting my playlist has gotten so annoying, I do not use Spotify anymore when I'm abroad.   Yea, sure, I could pay for premium to make them go away, but the issue here is that you have an advertisement system that isn't always reaching the appropriate target group, and I would think that's something in your interest to change. ...

I am a big fan of Spotify and have been using it for quite a while. Let me arrive at the point.   Under YOUR LIBRARY ---> ALBUMS, if I try to remove a song from it by selecting **Remove from Your Library**, it is no longer saved under my library but is still displayed under Albums with a plus sign to re-add the song to the album.   Wouldn't be great if the song is not displayed under Albums if don't want it, just like the functionality of playlists when a song is removed from a particular playlist by selecting **remove from this playlist**, it no longer appears in that playlist.   I think enabling this functionality will increase the aesthetics of the Spotify, it feels more clumsy now. I don't know the reason why the removed song is still displayed under Albums but any input is welcome.   Happy spotifying !!  ... View more
