[Mobile] See all Songs on Artist Page

Dear spotify,

 

First of all, thanks for your awesome service! I really enjoy my premium account on my desktop and iPhone version and use it at home and wherever I go. However there's something that bothers me often while searching for a song, especially on the iPhone version.

  

I often search for a song of a specific artist. So I use the search function and reach the artist's page. Once there, the app only shows the 5 most popular songs of the artist. But often the song I'm looking for is not listed there (maybe nr 6 on the list or lower). Now I have the option of searching through the albums, which can be quite time consuming, or try to use the search function again and hope to find it with a more specific combination of words (provided that I know anything more than the artist's name).

 

Now every time I get to this I'm thinking why can't I tap a button ('see all songs') which allows me to see all the artist's songs in a list? That is something I'm looking for intuitively. On the desktop version, the list of 5 can be extended to 10 most popular, but also here I'm thinking: why only 10?! Actually, the list I'm looking for can be brought up by the app already by playing the first song (while not in shuffle mode) and tapping the playlist icon. This brings up the kind of list I would like to see: all the artists songs I can just browse through. Only now I'm playing the first song, which I didn't want to hear at all.

 

Preferably, I would want to be albe to sort the list in order of popularity or alphabet.

 

 

Cheers!

It frustrates me that I can't just go to an artist and 'Play All'. It makes no sense to me that there is no option to play all the artist's available songs, which could play through in chronological album order, or be set to shuffle.

 

I'm sure this option used to be available years ago, although I'm probably thinking of the desktop app, which I haven't used for ages. Is it available on desktop?

It would be nice to see the your library function more like a collection of my music rather than a link to the Artist's main page. I almost feels like I have to put everything in a playlist if I only want to listen to that artist but just specific albums. Especially when we have an "Add to Library" page but it works mainly for albums and songs, but mostly albums.

 

Edit:

Actually I've thought some more about this. What I think would be better if on the "Your Library" page if I select an artist that I want to hear; instead of going to the Arist Page then the "Your Liked Songs/Albums," it should take me straight to the "Your Liked Songs/Albums" from the Your Library page. Maybe there's a link to go to the "Full Arist Page"?
