[Desktop][Social] Separate friends from artists

It's a little clunky when you're trying to see all the non-artists you follow. Currently, those people are mashed into the complete list of follows, which can be among hundreds or more of artists, and you have to know to go to your profile first to s...

[Other] Exact release date across all platforms

Close Button Closes Spotify [Windows]

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 M...
