I'm really excited about the addition of podcasts on Spotify for mobile devices, but I wanted to listen to them on my work computer.  Do you have an estimate for when this will be available on the Desktop? ... View more

Those on macOS, may love this concept that was created prior to the new Macbook Pro release. I think it would be awesome if Spotify actually implemented it.   See pictures! ... View more

Since version 1.0.1. (yesterday), the system tray icon is gone. And with it the functionality to close Spotify and remove it from the task bar while it still being active.   I feel this is a huge reduction in functionality and usability, and urge the return of the system tray icon. Minimizing the application should remove it from the task bar and put it in the system tray, so that it does not hog the limited space on the task bar.   Personally I rarely enter the Spotify main application, only to select a different playlist. It has no permanent place on my task bar.   Thanks. ... View more

When I play games with friends, I often use discord for voice communication. We use the built-in bots that are really glitchy and often cause latency in-game. The bot simply looks up the song on youtube and plays the top result, which could be occasionally the wrong song. I really wish that Spotify will add support for discord. And by using the system for parties, we can have friends queue up songs and DJ without the laggy and annoying bots. ... View more

When you have a nice evening at home with some friends, music playing in the backgound, one question is raised every time and at least once: - Wow, this is a great song. Who is performing this? From which album is it? Wasn't this guy playing in another band a few years ago? Unfortunately, the desktop app is at the moment mainly focused on navigating and searching for music and not at all on the graphical / visual experience of the music being played. On the iOS app this is far better, because you can swith to full screen mode to a static view of the front-side album art, song title and artist name. For starters, this would already be a great addition if this feature would be available for the desktop app as well. But there are a lot more opportunities to improve the visual experience. The best one I've experienced so far is a specific skin in XBMC/Kodi: Aeon MQ 5. It combines album art, artist art, artist biography and lyrics in one full screen view. The artist art is even dynamic and changes at a certain interval. I added a screenshot to give you an impression. Although there already are some ideas posted about bigger album art, I didn't see any idea's yet about the whole visual experience while listening to your music. Therefore I decided to post this idea. Anyone else who is missing this or would like this to be developed? Or is it just me? ... View more

The latest version of the Spotify desktop client [1.0.1.1060.gc75ebdfd] misses the crucial option  "Set the same volume level for all tracks". It is no longer possible to disable volume normalization.   This is downgrade is atrocious. Removing granularity from the options screen and forcing heavy audio processing degrades the value of Spotify to something suitable for non-paid background listening on Bluetooth boomboxes or laptop speakers.    While normalization is extremely useful for background music, the option of disabling it improves sound quality, particularly for listening to certain quetly recorded albums and classical music. It's a switch in the UI and should be brought back as soon as possible.   It seems to be the case that the normalization toggle never disabled all processing of the audio signal. But the option to disable volume normalization, which was added in early 2009, made the audio quality of Spotify usable for dynamic music and quality gear even before this service offered high bitrate streaming (mid 2009).   This setback in audio quality arrives at an unfortunate time when Spotify comptetitors are scrambling to provide lossless, cd-quality streams in several streaming intense markets. It's sad to see Spotify level the playing field by crippling its (partially) native desktop app, which could be a competetive edge. The competition, even the ones aiming for the audiophile crows, typically rely on useless, offline incompatible browser based offerings for desktop and laptop users.

Zoom options to change all elements, including text size, spacing, etc. It would be nice to have some zoom options to change the text size in the desktop application. It could be separate options for the sidebar and the main screen. ... View more

The new desktop overlay feature is pretty neat.. But I have noticed it gets annoying in the longer run and unfortunately disturbs work as it covers tools and features of the apps I use.   In any other apps, option to disable such features are completely obvious. But for some reason Spotify does not user control lot of things in the app.   EDIT: The new version now has an option to disable this window! ... View more

Or at least minimize it to a tray Icon. But I would say close it. Maybe this is more of an opinion, but I've only used 2 programs that are this bad. Skype and Spotify. And Skype is a really bad program.  So I don't know why in Spotify, the Close and Minimize button do the same exact thing. I would like a quick way to close the program and stop the musik.  This is mainly a problem for me on Windows 7 and I believe linux is very similar. ... View more

On new version 1.0.1.1060 the ctrl+z action when accidentally deleted a song from a playlist stopped working. It was usefull as sometimes I delete the marked song instead of the one that is playing and I don't even know what song I got rid of :-/   Thank you. ... View more

I run on a machine with a small SSD for my OS and critical applications.   In previous versions of Spotify I have set my cache to my larger hard drive. Now this is no longer possible.   Now I am constantly having to manually clear my cache and am unable to specify where I want the files to be kept.   This needs to be restored. ... View more

Enable horizontal scrolling through suggestions of new music, suggested music etc by using the left/right trackpad scrolling gestures. THIS WOULD BE AMAZING because it is getting a little old to use those tiny little buttons ;-) Same goes for navigating the forward/backwards while searching.  more intuitive... reduces UX friction .... Merci for the upvote!!  ... View more

There should be a feature where it tells me i'm listening to the TGIF playlist, and where I can directly access the TGIF playlist without going back to the main screen with featured playlists. I often don't remember what playlist I listened to and have to go to the app and backtrack alot. Maybe if it's somewhere in the bar ? Between play queue and messages?  ... View more

Why would you remove that feature? Now it just says "Spotify Premium". I'd honestly like to hear the logic behind this.   ... View more

I have an old laptop hooked up to my stereo for playing Spotify (typically with the screen closed) and I've been using a third party app called Spotimote to control it. Now there's Spotify Connect which is great but it's missing one thing: if I'm using my regular PC I'd like to be able to control the music PC through the regular Spotify app instead of having to pick up my phone and fiddle with the Android version of spotify. So my request is: make the PC app a controller as well - as far as I can see there's no way to do that right now.   Bonus: If that was done I'd be able to use an old phone instead of a laptop as the music playing device that I have hooked up to my stereo (or maybe some day a Chromecast or Android TV if you ported the Android app to those)   EDIT: michel123 points out that this idea is already implemented in the beta. Nice! Latest beta is at http://community.spotify.com/t5/Help-Desktop-Linux-Mac-and/Welcome-to-the-Desktop-Beta/td-p/932803   ... View more

Please bring back the option to import playlist. I've been a spotify premium user since the start of spotify and im sad to say this has to be the worst update I have ever seen. Who ever was in charge of this update did everything wrong. I liked being able to import my iTunes playlists cause they were mixes that are not on spotify. If this function doesn't come back at least add a Recently added filter to the Local Files tab. Cause I have like 4000 songs on their that I don't even wanna dig through to find the songs I just added. ... View more
