[Desktop][Podcasts] Sort by Unplayed/Recently Updated

Submitted by on ‎2019-10-31 11:11 PM
Status: Live Idea

Currently, the only way to listen to unplayed podcasts on desktop is to open a phone and check the feed there, or check every podcast individually for new content. That's 100% unacceptable, and has been for years.

 

Give us a podcast view that we can sort / filter by unplayed episodes or recent uploads. If you want to be the industry leader in streaming, you can't ignore table-stakes functionality because of "100 kudos" horsesh*t.

Ok, that's weird. I'm a bit shocked how old this proposal is.
Shouldn't be too complicated to implement that in the desktop version. They already have it in the mobile version...

That's one of be most basic features that I would expect from a podcast player (besides things like audio playback...)

I thought Spotify wants to be a big player in the podcast world?

wow that's so annoying to not have this feature on desktop. guys please realise that many people use Spotify on desktop when they work, or doing some housework, cooking etc. This feature disparity that lasts for years is not acceptable for the subscribers!

This is one of the largest issues preventing me from actually using podcasts on Spotify. Truthfully, it'd be nice to trim down on extra apps.

genuinely embarrassing that this is not a feature on desktop. how did the devs add "Your Episodes" but not either the "new episodes" feed or just the ability to sort by recently updated? how??

I get frustrated about this every day. I don't understand what the hold up is. The feature is on the app, but not desktop. It's such basic functionality. Very tired of having to look for my next episode on my phone and then pull it up on my desktop. Please fix this! I love Spotify otherwise!

I just want the ability to hide episodes I've already listened to. Well, okay, I want the other features, too, but you had this one awhile back, then took it away. Bring it back, please!

Windows app should be more configurable, like Plex is.   I don't care to see Podcasts.   Why is there an "Episodes for you" when I don't give a **bleep** about any of them?   I listened to ONE podcast from Headspace and now I'm being recommended these weird and off the wall podcasts that take up space on the UI.

 

Let US configure the UI.  I don't want to see Episodes from podcats.  I don't want to see "Good Afternoon" with really random picks from Spotify.   New Releases for me don't seem to be FOR ME.   There really needs to be a way for us, as the user, to fix our feed the way WE want to.  We're paying.
