[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!

Also, what if people could add songs from their own device to the queue? 😄

When is this likely to occur? It was mentioned years ago, I can't believe you don't have it sorted yet. Dissapointing.

This is partially solved by the app for desktop called "PartiQ". The ones adding to the queue don't even have to have spotify themselves! 

Check it out.

i was just with 7 of my buddies at the fontain bleu hotel in miami beach and wish we had a queue. i had my ipad set up next to the speakers and wished that there was a way that i could be reast assured my drunk friends wouldnt ( or myself for that matter either) mess up my playlists or options. and to have an easy to use interface that anypone can figure out. almost like a jukebox with everything, but just one that wouldnt require dollar bills. almost like touchtunes that you find at bars.

personally i think that it's a great idea and hope to see it implamented in the future

This would also help with preventing young children to edit song lists and/or deleting them so it would be safe to have kids lists without worrying about your own. I support this.

This is exactly what I'm after! I really hope Spotify will fix this very soon! To many good playlists has been ruined on parties 😃

Will try Spartify next party!

Status changed to: Not Right Now

Hello everyone. Spotify here. 

This idea still needs the status "Not Right Now". We have been reviewing this idea lately as part of our ongoing feedback reviews with the Spotify products teams. We'll come back and post here if there are any updates on building a party mode within Spotify.

Thanks for all your feedback. We're listening.

@Rorey at least change the way you add songs to the que. Double clicking a song should not mess up your queue. Its just dumb...

I'm in just for double-click-to-queue itself.
