[Mobile] Screen always on Option

When the Spotify app is in focus keep the screen on and prevent it from locking. Just like in PowerAmp, this should be an optional setting. It's really annoying to have to unlock the phone to skip tracks, or see the name of the current song or artist...

Show original year of album release

I'd like to be able to see the date an album was originally released, even if the current version is a re-release. So many albums are re-released that for some artists it looks like all of their albums came out in the last few years, even though some...

[Playlists] Save Daily Mix as New Playlist

Discography in Chronological Order

Spotify provides a great Discography option, but it is sorted from newest to oldest. I would typically want to listen to the Discography in the order it was released. Seems like a simple addition to enable sorting the Discography by release date with...
