[Desktop] Notify Spotify of incorrect metadata or broken tracks from Desktop App

There should be a link on every track/album to easily notify Spotify of incorrect metadata such as incorrect artist, track name, album art etc.

Hey folks! We're excited to confirm that Line-In can now be used by any Spotify user. 

 

Line-In is a tool that allows our most trusted fans and music lovers (like you) to suggest edits to the information we have about artists, albums, and songs on Spotify. This will help improve, extend, and confirm the data describing music - which will in turn help us improve experiences for Spotify Users and the Artists creating the music on Spotify.

 

You can find the tool by clicking in the three dots next to an Artist, Album, or Song and selecting Suggest an Edit.

No. Then trolls will conspire to rename all the tracks to "dicks". That will never work.

All we need is a way to flag something as wrong, and have it limited on the backend to several reports per day to stop individuals from spamming it.

Quick update on this folks. We're currently testing something new called Line-In--our new metadata crowdsourcing platform. 

 

Line-In is a tool that allows our most trusted fans and music lovers (like you) to suggest edits to the information we have about artists, albums, and songs on Spotify. This will help improve, extend, and confirm the data describing music - which will in turn help us improve experiences for Spotify Users and the Artists creating the music on Spotify.

 

We need some volunteers to test this tool at the moment. If you're interested please sign up here.

 

 

For now, please note that if you’re unable to play a track, there could be a few possible reasons why:

  1. The track isn’t available in your country.
  2. You haven’t synced the track for offline use.
  3. You aren’t online.

You may find reinstalling the app using these steps helps in some cases. If you have continued issues, just send us an email. We'll then report the broken metadata to the right team. Thanks!

For someone able to make the change, there is a Metadata problem with Steve Hill....I am a fan of the blues artist, but there is also an electronic music DJ with the same name and they are mixed together on the artist page.  I keep getting notified of new music by the wrong Steve Hill

By the way, you can still report broken tracks with the contact support form, now that Line-In has been disabled. See this thread:
