[Connect] Change Device Name in Device List

We need to be able to configure the display name of devices in the "Devices" list in spotify. This doesnt have to be a feature available on every devices, maybe even a setting only available on the website so it has the most coverage if its an issue implementing it everywhere.

 

But 

 

This Phone

DESKTOP-I59JLM2

ECHO-4F0 Speaker

GWDD-PBWETYX

Galaxy S6

 

As a list sucks. Its a fairly basic usability feature to have that list as

 

This Phone

Gaming PC

Upstairs Echo

Work

Paula's Phone

 

Which would make the selection of a device to control/listen on far easier.

 

Thanks.

Hey everyone,

 

It seems that this idea ended up in the wrong board accidentally, so we're bringing it back.

 

We're keeping the previous Not Right Now status, as we don't have any immediate plans to implement this. As soon as we have any new information to share, rest assured we'll check back in here.

 

Take care.

This would be great. Having two of the same devices (and the weird device names chosen) makes a guess in the dark to pick the right one each time:

The H8324 are my two Sony xz2 Compact phones. Would be great if I was able to give them their nicknames, or if Spotify picked it up from the device bluetooth name. 🙂
