[All Platforms] Music Videos

[Camilla33]

Idea: "[All Platforms] Music videos"

Artists record a video to go with their music / you could upload the music videos that already exist!
I really want to watch them on Spotify while listening.

At Apple Music I can choose between listening to the music, or watching their video.

I totally agree. I was sitting in the bus today, listening to the new album by muse, when i found myself staring at the album cover for some time. Being a New media stategist and filmmaker, i found myself realising this is à missed opportunity. Nobody watches MTV anymore, because we are mobile. Hell we don't even have a music television channel in the Netherlands anymore. But sitting in the bus, waiting for the train or a plane are perfect moment to also add video to the music we listen to. Its à lot better then checking your Facebook 3 times. Furthermore it would give artist the possibilty to show themselves as performers. Even more so it would bring back the music video and would give à huge worldwide impuls to filmmakers. IIt could get very creative. For the technical implications, i think they are solveble. You don't need YouTube, artist just upload the video, as they do with their music. You can take win à lot of viewers from youtube. Music video are still the highest scoring video on that platform. So à budinessmodel based on advertisement or paid subscription is around the corner. And no need to worry about bandwith, an one to two we'll al be connecting to 4g, with speeds up to 100mbs. So pro's all the way. This way spotify could give an impuls to creative filmmaking, like electricty was for music in 60's. Please do consider! Peter

Yes. Please include in premium account. MTV was kickstarting musicvideos, youtube made em free, Spotify turns the game, sprints from youtube and makes it serious.

i'm really missing this feature! Wouldn't a Youtube Integration possible?

[Big_Al_73]

can i ask... is anyone from spotify actually going to read and reply to any of these comments, we pay from premium surely it wouldn't be hard for you guys to link in video where possible.Music channels are great, but to pick your own and watch as yuo listen would just be awesome.

i'm sure if a small cost was added we would Pay

Synchronizing spotify music with embedded youtube video is what I want.

[arthursh3n]

the video feature would be awesome~ There is a service called "Utubify" which converts your Spotify playlist to Youtube playlist, i wonder why it is not included in the Spotify app?

Music videos in Spotify! I recently subscribed to Premium and find myself missing the YouTube playback.

This is a perfect example of how licensing, copyrights damage and stands in the way of progress. Its very sad really, playing video in Spotify could be free for premium users who are already paying a good bit of money for the service recieved.

What in reality stops ideas like these to flourish are fat corporate bozos, who seem hellbent on making humanity crawl back and live in caves again with the excuse that they are "protecting their investment". Obviously they have no idea what they are doing or how to increase product value.

Awesome idea! I thought also
