Subject: Request for a New Feature: Song Identification of Nearby Users
Dear Spotify Team,
I hope this message finds you well. I am a passionate and long-time user of Spotify, and I have an idea for a feature that I believe would enhance the user experience and make Spotify even more enjoyable for its community. I'd like to propose the addition of a feature that allows users to identify which songs are playing nearby by other Spotify users.
This feature could work in the following way:
User Detection: When a Spotify user is within close proximity of another user (perhaps within Bluetooth range or using location services with consent), the app could detect their presence.
Song Identification: With the user's consent and privacy in mind, the app could allow users to see which song is currently playing on the nearby user's device. This could be displayed in a dedicated section, similar to the "Friend Activity" feature.
Privacy Controls: To ensure privacy, users should have the option to enable or disable this feature. Additionally, it should only display song information and not disclose the user's personal information.
Social Sharing: Users could have the option to interact with nearby listeners, such as sending song recommendations or starting a conversation based on shared musical interests.
I believe this feature would not only enhance the social aspect of Spotify but also help users discover new music and connect with others who share their music tastes. It could create a unique and engaging experience that sets Spotify apart from other streaming platforms.
I understand that implementing such a feature may involve technical and privacy considerations, but I believe it has the potential to greatly enrich the Spotify experience. I would be happy to discuss this idea further or provide additional insights if needed.
Thank you for considering my suggestion, and I look forward to hearing your thoughts on the possibility of adding this exciting feature to Spotify.
Sincerely,
Shravan Walunj
