NEXT STEP

[All Platforms] Party Mode: Only Queue, Password, etc.

How about a function that when turned on, only allows the queing of music (i.e instead of dubblevclicking to play the next song, it will just be que'd)? This would be great if u have a party and don't peolple changing midtrack all the time. 

 

 

 

Edit:

 

[Wow! Great to see that my idea has gained support, seems like I wasn't the only one that thought that this would be a great idea. As requested; I'll edit my post to better explain the idea]

 


Spotify Partymode

# Main Goal #
The main purpose of this feature is to be able to set Spotify in a partymode preventing people
from randomly changing tracks in the middle of a song.
Partymode will be easy to customize with several options making it suitable for all types of parties.
This feature will only be accessible with Spotify Premium.

 

Partymode will also decrease the number of fist fights dramaticly and therefore lead to a much better party-experience.

 

# Options #

* Enable/Disable partymode. (If partymode is enabled when logging out, it will be enabled on logon).

* Password protection. (If you want to set a partymode password. Default is Spotify password.)
* Allow skipping to next song? (Yes/no).
* Volume lock. (Prevent volume from being changed).

 

# Queuing #
* Queuing:
    - Only allow queuing new tracks. (Prevents people from changing tracks in the middle of a song).
    - Only allow queuing X songs within Y second (Spam protection).
    - Only allow queuing X songs from same artist. (Spam protection).
    - If no songs in queue, play music from this playlist: <playlist>.
    - Time limit (Not allowed to queue songs longer that X minutes).
* Exclude genres, artists and songs.
* Store partymode to playlist: <playlist> (prevents clearing the queue on logout/login).

 

# Admin mode #
    - Unlock partymode.
    - Delete from queue.
    - Re-order queue.
    - Change track instantly.
    - Set/change partymode password.
    - Enable partymode.

 

# Defaults #
* Lock existing playlists so that they can't be modified or deleted.
* Partymode will not scrobble to last.fm.
* Partymode will prevent access to social networks.
* Purchases will not be allowed in partymode.
* Disable access to Inbox and other personal information.

 

[]Though I must say the way to controll the volume while you'r having a party is to use a spotify remote app instead. Way too easy to just crank up the speaker volume even if you have a volume lock.]

Hi everyone.

 

As our previous update mentions, when one idea includes (many) smaller parts it is virtually impossible to ever set it to Implemented. One part is implemented, another isn't, what do you do?

For all intents and purposes I'm treating this idea as one simple suggestion:

"Let my fellow party people somehow connect to my session and add their tracks."

This has now been implemented on both iOS and Android in Australia, New Zealand, Great Britain and Sweden.

To that end I've set this to Implemented.

 

If the original author of this idea, or anyone else for that matter, would like to request additional features, please do a quick search of our Idea Exchange and either vote on an existing idea, or make a new suggestion.

And, please keep in mind to keep suggestions as separate as possible; it'll make it easier for us to update a status in future. (And save all of us from more walls of text :))

 

Party on!

In the 90' when we only had winamp, it had a party mode. when you locked the party mode, then people couldent leave the program and snoop around your pc. you could also lock playlists and so on.

 

 it was awsome and the same feature would really make Spotify even greater 😄

Hey guys 🙂 
I have (obiously) posted a similar thread, because we have played from a computer with a brilliant jukebox program at big gatherings for many years now, but we are no longer able to download music from our downloading site now, which has chosen to focus 100% on streaming. 

Can anyone tell me why this hasn't become a reality yet, when a lot of people seem to look forward to it? And what will it take to make it a reality? 

I could really need this, thank you!

It's been three years, so how about it? Spotify NEEDS this function. Spotify is a great source for music at parties, but it's annoying when as a host you set up the playlist that suits everyone, and if someone wants to lsiten a specific song, he/she accidentally double-clicks the song and bye bye playlist.

 

Please Spotify, make this real!

Just another user awaiting this feature. We use spotify in a small office enviroment and while the official Spotify Remote is awesome it only works for the one user who is logged in to Spotify.

I have been using this feature through workarounds for years, but since it is not Spotify-native it keeps bugging up.

 

We really need this feature integrated into Spotify!

Something I think would be cool is to have a playlist with everyone in a group's spotify library shuffled. Theory: people love the music they listen and hate when people ask them to listen to a song, but if you put everyones music in a blender and play it, everyones happy and becomes more opened minded to the music being played.

I think an important features in "party mode" will be to limit the time each song is playing.
I don´t want to hear the full 5 minutes song in a party, just the first 2:30 minutes more or less.

 

This is a very important feature in parties and I think its very easy to solve

How is this not implemented yet? Been wracking my brain trying to get other plugins to work to no avail. Playmysong doesn't seem to work for me.

I've been dying for this idea for years. Was just about to suggest it but then I saw this.

Interrobang

It should also allow people on the same WiFi to queue tracks using their Spotify App!

 

Open Spotify on your phone -> have buttons for "Continue to Party Mode" or "Play Music Here"

 

Then, as you said, clicking songs will add them to the Party queue instead of playing them.
