[Desktop][Social] Send song recommendations to friends on desktop (with concept photos)

[Crisp8]

Add a feature that allows you to send a song to friends on the desktop app (please look at attachments for concept ideas)

Reasons:

1. if you want to share a song from desktop options are limited if you haven't downloaded social media, and emailing a song link can be clunky and awkward 

2. being in app would streamline the sharing experience, often having to leave the app can be distracting (particularly on social media) and annoying 

3. I often use spotify to look for new music so having a list of songs personally recommended by people I know all in one spot would, firstly make finding new music easier and be more convenient then scrolling through messages to find song recommendations.

As good as the spotify algorithm is, often the best music recommendations come from friends that know you and your music taste. This feature would enable that.

below are some ideas of what it could look like

I love this idea! It helps consolidating the songs shared to me by friends. It would be cool if this will appear with Friends Activity panel as another tab. And if it will show up in the bell icon in the mobile app.

That sounds like an awesome suggestion!🎶

[SantinoDoll]

Agreed. It should also auto-generate a playlist of the songs sent to you over the last 30 days. AND be available on mobile

Wow that's cool idea!!

I love this idea! I like how easy it is to find your recomendations too, but for me it has always felt like the social page was missing something.

Unrelated but I'd love to see some sort of feed where you can share songs with all your friends, kind of like a repost system maybe? The reccomendations could post directly onto your friends feeds too!

Was just about to post this idea, and happy to see someone else already did! With that, liking and adding comment to raise the profile of this recommendation. Would be a very welcome feature within the Desktop App, which I am big user of. Thank you : )

Great idea! I think sharing song recommendations with friends via the Spotify app itself would be easier (and more fun) than copying song links and sharing them via text message, email, social media, etc.
