[Desktop] Support Notifications on Mac

[reephamblues]

I would appreciate it if Spotify on macOS could support desktop notifications (current song etc.) via Apple's Notification Center.

This is  basic functionality that's provided by almost every other Mac app I can think of. Spotify has offered it in the past, and indeed there's still a zombie preference setting ("Show dekstop notifications when the song changes"). I'm irritated at not having something as simple as notifications, and I feel insulted by a preference setting that doesn't work.

I'm proposing this here because it seems to have been last raised as an Idea in 2012 and set to Not Right Now status in 2019. That was a long time ago. This Idea is therefore a follow-up to this more recent discussion on the subject. Mod MafeG invited us to raise the issue on the Idea Exchange, so that's what I've done.

Hello, Happy new year!
Any update?
I'd like to be notified on song change on my Mac desktop.
Thank you!

Spoiler

They will keep ignoring this request!

It's 2024, this feature is still not available 😞

Here in 2024- I see there is still no update on this issue. I just made the switch from my 2015 Mac to a 2024 Mac, and was disappointed to find this feature gone!
