I have recently noticed that while listening to playlists, especially longer ones created by spotify (ie. hip hop drive, ill lyricist, trophy room) that they tend to update and shuffle all the songs while I’m in the middle of listening. This is really frustrating when I am trying to listen through a playlist from start to finish to discover new music or just not listen to one song five times before I hear another song once. I have also noticed that playlists can change and mess how they are downloaded by themselves which is inconvenient when away from wifi for extended periods of time. An option where you can be notified when a playlist changes and then choose which version to listen to could be a potential solution to this problem. ... View more

Different features like folders and selecting multiple songs to drag and drop have been nice additions, but there is still in inability to manage large amounts of music. Spotify needs a mode for reorganizing and editing folders and playlists that uses the full desktop screen space rather than the side bar. For example, I have 15 folders and 5 loose playlists (20 items total in my sidebar when the folders are all closed). I cannot see all of these things in one place and actually manage my music, as soon as I open two folders to move one playlist I now have 30-40 items in the side bar and cannot make the changes I need to. The more I use spotify, the more impossible it is to curate my music. Attached are views of the side bar dragged as far to the left and as far to the right as possible. Please help!! ... View more

While watching a video podcast I am now seeing a banner at the bottom of the screen titled "More For You". I find it distracting and worry about screen burn in as well. Searching for additional content is easy enough. I would rather not have it forced on me. I've searched all settings and can find no way to disable it.  ... View more

For the last 5+ years, I have kept playlists full of albums, and they would behave very logically. When I clicked "date added" to sort by date and put my newest discoveries at the top, and started playing the songs in the order displayed, it worked wonderfully. The album tracks were in their correct order (not reversed even though my playlist was in reverse chronological order), and the songs would play one after another going down the list.   Sometime recently, that all got REALLY messed up in the desktop app.   Now, when I sort my playlists by "date added" the album tracks are SHOWN in reverse order. The strange thing is they still PLAY in the correct order... mostly. The timestamps are apparently less accurate now, too, so sometimes what's playing will jump around a lot.    In the mobile app, everything still works great.  Soooo.... can we just put it back the way it was, and make the desktop app work more like the mobile app again? Thanks to all! ... View more

I'd like to rename how external playlists (that I didn't create) show up among my own playlists. Examples: - A lot of people make generically named playlists like "Classic Funk".  When I follow them I want to differentiate them (where they came from or why I care), so I'd like to be able to make them appear in my folder as "Classic Funk from Peter" or "Classic Funk (NPR 2016)" etc. - My friend made me a playlist called "For Kevin" which makes sense on their side but on my side I'd like to rename it to "From (my friend's name)". - It would similarly be nice to be able to rename spotify's generated playlists like YourTopMusic, discovery, etc. To implement it, I picture the edit playlist box showing a field for original title (not editable) and my title (editable), where my title is the one that shows up everywhere else for me in spotify. ...

I think it would be really cool if Spotify was able to find the song an artist sampled on their song whether it be a melody or lyrics or beat. By having this available it would be cool to listen to the original song rather than looking up what artist sampled what. ... View more

I'd love to have more control over how I view and organise my podcasts.  Even just being able to organise them on screen by length or genre would be great.  I have daily news podcasts that I like to listen to in the morning, but manually putting them in a playlist is a bit time-consuming.  Then there are the Spanish language podcasts that I listen to when I'm practising Spanish, and the Linguistics podcasts and the Sound podcasts...I'd love to be able to group a whole podcast instead of just a specific episode.   Or a playlist that automatically updates to the next unplayed or latest episode would be fantastic. ...

Spotify has the potential to be much more of a social media than it currently is. There are some great features that the app has added throughout the years, such as the ability to see what my friends are listening to right now. I believe that Spotify should expand upon such features, for example by adding an indication (some sort of a shadow-like) that will let me know whether any of my friends have liked this song or not. When hovering on that song, there might be a small floating text box that specifies the friends who have likes this song. This might optional, meaning a user might be able to turn off this feature if they don't want to share with their friends the songs they've liked. ... View more

Hey, With one of the recent updated, downloaded podcast episodes automatically appear in the “Your Episodes” playlist. This is fine (I admittedly don’t care for this feature, as it takes up more space on the screen, but I can see how it can be useful. It would be nice if you could toggle whether that playlist and the “Liked songs” playlist were visible, but that’s neither here or there ) but it would be nice if you could  remove episodes from this playlist while maintaining the download. Currently you can add things to the playlist without them being downloaded, but if you try to remove a downloaded podcast from the  playlist, the download is also removed, which I find frustrating.    Currently there is a “your downloads” tab and a “your episodes” playlist, and I personally don’t see the point of both of them full filling the same function, except that one is locked to the top of my playlists. But with having something on my home screen, I’d like to control what goes into the playlist.  ... View more

So I know this feature was addressed on Spotify mobile apps (appears to be functional on iOS), but on the Mac Desktop app, why can't you view "Liked Songs" from a specific artist on that particular artist's page?  It seems the only way to find this information is by going to the master Liked Songs directory and searching for the individual artist to filter through that massive list, which is pretty annoying.  Why not just link to that smaller array of entries at the top of each artist page?   Peter pcmueller Mac OS ...

Mostly I am not able to like a song when I am busy, run, sit in the bath tub, just name it. I still want to mark the songs I like, but just do not know which ones anymore. A kind of fast hearing, eg 5 s of the middle of the song (no intro) of the consecutive songs would help me to pick the ones I like. It would also help me to judge wheter I like a playlist or not before listening. ... View more

In my experience, my daily mixes stay very similar/consistent from day to day, meaning that the music picked it terms of genre/artists stay the same. This is an undesirable trait.   Keep in mind I have ~800 liked songs from a wide variety of genres and artists, so this issue is not because I don't feed Spotify enough data about what I like.   Therefore, I propose to add a "Reset Daily Mix" button, for each of the 6 lists, that will completely shuffle the "feel" of the mix, and offer something new. ...

Hey,   I've read in multiple places, that the search bar on Spotify has been disabled on Android Auto. Mostly for security reason : you shouldn't be typing while driving. Good point, although, this wont stop anyone, as the passenger (or even worse the driver), j ust has to grab one's phone to type it in.   My idea would be just as what GPS apps do : if the car is driving, as the search function is called, a popup inform the driver that only the passenger is supposed to use the keyboard. From there, you could have access the feature.   We're in 2021, I believe this functionality is awaited by many of the community , please let it be heard!   Cheers! ... View more

Currently, when you want to download only some songs, instead of all of them, from an artist, you have to save the music in the Liked Songs tab and filter it to show the artist you looking for, another way is to manually create a Playlist and save the ones you want to download. What I would like to request is that is added a Download Button by the side of the "Save to Liked Songs" button (the heart icon), and when you download, the songs are automatically saved in a playlist that shows the downloaded songs just for that artist, and if you download another artist's songs, then another playlist is created just to show the downloaded songs for that other one, and so on. An example of this kind of feature can be found in video streaming platforms: when you download episodes from a show, the downloaded episodes are grouped in a playlist that displays only the downloaded content of that show. If I wasn't clear enough, please let me know. Thanks. ... View more

In the mobile app one still can NOT sort Podcast Shows by name. The web app has the option (Sort by Name, Sort by Recently Added).  Why not in the mobile app?  This is basic to functionality/usability.    The Music-Artists section of mobile app allows "Sort by Artist" or "Recently added," why not Podcast Shows?   Please add this ability to Sort Podcast by Show.   Thanks.   ...

Other platforms will find a song even if the query is not perfect, and even if you put a bit of the lyrics. Spotify refuses to find the correct song if you miss a single letter in the title. Quite disappointing. ... View more

I have always thought a cool feature for Spotify to have is a section where artists post their songs to get feedback from listeners. Sometimes the beginning of a song is amazing and keep listening, only to be disappointed with where the song goes. It would be helpful to artists to see when someone stopped listening (like being able to mark where it goes south) and also be able to have some collaboration with listeners about what they thinks needs to be improved, so more people enjoy the sound. It doesn't have to all be negative--"I liked the vocals, but the background sound turned me off", or, "why is there random yelling" etc. Maybe something like this already exists elsewhere, but always wanted to mention it to someone at Spotify. This would help artists, and also would likely create more good music, which doesn't hurt Spotify either.  ... View more

Spotify already has follow/following so that you can find your friends, like their playlists and know what each others listening to. all it takes is notification changes so that people have follow notifications (that's one of the biggest reasons it doesn't work and isn't popular right now) and marketing for spotify to take off as a social media unlike any other, because it is all about your friends, not wider interaction. We have seen spotify make decisions moving towards this by opening up playlist covers to mobile which makes peoples profile pages feel largely more curated. After a massive year for spotify in market coverage and image, with content like 2020 wrapped becoming the main trending topic for a good two weeks (just look at the twitter numbers) the next step to improve the service is working on the one element of it that felt like it wasn't doing much - the followers tab. ...
