The free google home incentive is currently only available in the US for Family subscriptions of $14.99, i believe this should also be available in Europe / UK as we pay a higher cost for the same service (in UK spotify family works out to $19.40) with none of the benefits such as this. ...

Hi. Spotify is wonderful! I'm reading on Wikipedia, that Spotify is a multinational company located in over 60 countries with 70 million paying subscribers. WOW !! And this is a Swedish company! The turnover is many many billion. So have fun that so many people have the opportunity to listen to music. And on the website there is also "Music for all". Me and my family are subscription customers for many years and I would not want to be without spotify. There is music for all the moods and giving such joy. But I think that there are actually a group of people who usually enjoy a lot of music and who do not have the option of having a subscription - our old ones living in the homes for the elderly. These old people who have built our welfare in Sweden. These old people who did not at all have the same opportunity to listen to music and attend concerts that we have today. Imagine being able to play music at afternoon coffee around the coffee table at the retirement home! Perhaps Glenn Miller is wanted by someone and when the music is played it is as time takes a step back to the 40's. Memories are brought to life. The music psychologist Petri Laukka at Stockholm University has studied the connection between music listening and mental health in the elderly. He sees music as an important source of positive emotional experiences. Music is a language that everyone understands. And research shows that the brain has direct effects of music. Interest has increased to use music in the treatment and rehabilitation of various neurological diseases. There are also special programs for music rehabilitation for people afflicted of stroke. It sure is amazing! As much as we could do for all old people living in our homes in Sweden. If we only had a subscription that would allow a municipality to legally play music from Spotify. What I wish is to be able to play music at the elderly in my municipality. I would like the elderly care in my municipality to have a subscription that makes it possible to use spotify on several different retirement homes. Spotify Business does not work because it can not be used simultaneously on different devices. Spotify Family does not work either because it does not match the same address. I would like Spotify and Soundtrack your brand to come up with a solution to make this possible. I've been in contact with Soundtrack your brand about this but without success. I hope you will take this to the management. ... View more

PREFACE: With the release of iOS 12, iPhone users can now utilize Shortcuts to make the most of their daily routines by automating tasks and steps in both native and third party apps. Currently, the extent to which Spotify can be utilized via Shortcuts is to simply Open App.   IDEA: I wish to see more options and a wider scope of utility of Spotify in Shortcuts to the capacity of   playing specific playlists when I leave my home, and   adding the current song to a new custom playlist that I can name, or even   copying a song link to a tweet. I know the Shortcut app would be capable of handling a workflow along those lines but it seems it would require a bit more generosity   from the Spotify app.   MODERATORS: Please note that this is NOT the same   idea requested here considering that post is requesting for "Siri Integration" not "Shortcut Support". In addition, this idea is   no longer an announcement   as   prefaced here   and is now a public feature in iOS 12 as of Monday (9/17).   ... View more

Right now last.fm is the only place I can send my listening data ("scrobble"). I'd like to be able to enter different websites to send this data to instead if I so choose.   Last.fm's quality and features has gone downhill in the past several years and I want my music listening data to go to a site I expect to use in the future.   Several alternatives currently include GNU FM (which anyone can host on their own server), libre.fm (powered by GNU FM), and Jamendo. All of these  use the same Scrobbling 2.0 protocol as last.fm so implementing this change in spotify shouldn't be difficult--it would just require letting us choose a URL to send our music data.   There are current workarounds such as modifying your host file, but this won't work with spotify scrobbling for me directly from the spotify servers (which is able to scrobble my spotify listens no matter what device I listen on).   Thanks for your time and your great product! ...

It's been a while since Spotify has become a mass service used here in Catalonia. For years, different users have asked if it would be possible to have the different Spotify apps available in Catalan, our language.   It's not hard to have the desktop apps (Win, Mac, Linux, Web) and the mobile apps (Android, iOS, Windows Phone...) translated into Catalan. A lot of other services and apps have included Catalan years ago (services and products from Google, Apple, Microsoft, Mozilla... already include it).   We understand that Spotify AB has enough resources to translate their apps and services to Catalan. Why Belgians, Canadians and Swiss can have the apps in two different languages and in Spain there is only one option? Why people in Andorra don't have the option to choose their official language, Catalan? ... View more

Alright listen up, you are meeting someone for the first time or carpooling or you met a friend of a friend and how do you get to know them best? Through their music taste. In fact, you really want to be jamming out with them but you just don’t know what songs they like and you really don’t want that awkward silence when you know a song and they’re like.........uh......... I don’t know the words. What’s the solution you ask? A friendship playlist. You would find your friend on spotify and there would be a button next to their name that says “friendship playlist” which would automatically create a collaborative playlist consisting of all the songs you have both put on your playlists, 100% guaranteed bangin’ time while you both sing along to the songs that you both know! ...

Our Company would like to request a "Spotify for Company Employees" subscription option.   More and more of our employees use Spotify at work to listen to songs at their workstation during their workday.   As supporters of this, our Company wants to easily be able to order and pay for Premium subscriptions in bulk, at an agreed upon Corporate rate, so as to easily offer a Premium Spotify account as a benefit/perk to all of our Company's employees.   Spotify for Company Employees would work like Spotify for Families does - just with a large number of family members.   A single admin or "parent" account (owned by the Company) would control a section within their Account profile that easily allows employees to be added to the list (as new employees join the Company) or removed from the list (when employees move on from our Company to another opportunity).   We believe that listening to music at work is very beneficial for our employees, and improves and promotes a positive company culture.   We sincerely hope this subscription option becomes available in the near future and eagerly await any updates on this matter. ...

This has been suggested before, but I want to bring this back to attention.   Every now and then tracks in playlists become unavailable. When they do, they become greyed out in the list, at least unless the option to see unavailable tracks is switched off. (Personally, I prefer seeing these unavailable tracks, so I have a slight idea of what is going on in my compilations).   Often, the tracks that are gone are still available somewhere else, in a different album, or a slightly different version.   It would be very helpful if we could click on a greyed out track, and find the option to search for a different version, or find substitutes, and to replace the track in the same position within playlist. I do understand that Spotify might not wish to focus attention on tracks that have gone, but I believe the users would appreciate the openness and sincerity, and the option to replace the track with some sort of alternative, in place. As suggested before; I want to right click on a track that's become unavailable and have Spotify suggest VIABLE alternatives.  I would also want to switch them transparantly. Today we have to search for an alternative the old way, drag the new find into the playlist, where it appears at the bottom, and then we have to drag it up to where the old track previously lived. Not very convenient. So in short: Spotify should suggest alternatives of the same track when it is gone - or at least facilitate replacing it seamlessly. ... View more

Occasionally, I hear about a new album that seems interesting, but I'm at work or in a lecture and can't listen to it immediately. Ideally I'd like to be able to hit a button to mark that album and later, when I get the time, I can sit down and listen to all the things I've saved. ... View more

Sort options within Spotify are severely lacking.   First, what's lacking outright: sort by year, total plays, personal playcount, current popularity, genre, tempo, etc.   On top of that, sorting should be stackable, e.g. sort by album by year, or sort artist by total plays, etc.   This could apply to within the artists' pages as well, allowing us to sort through all their songs to better find music that suits our tastes.   Lastly, this could lend itself to the creation of smart playlists, e.g. a playlist that pulls songs from my collection (or from another playlist) that are within a certain genre and released in a particular year.   iTunes has had these features for many, many years - it's time that Spotify catch up! ...

Hello there! I know this idea has been brought up before, but all those ideas were several years ago by now, and I couldn't find a recent discussion about this. Imagine having "rooms" within Spotify, where you can listen together, simultaneously , to the same track with everybody else in the room, no matter where in the world they are, and no matter what device they're using. You can step up and join the DJ queue, and all DJs in the room play one track, one after another. The friend feed on the right side turns into a chatbox, and you can communicate and talk about music while listening to the same tracks. Think tuntable.fm, plug.dj, jqbx.fm, ... but right inside Spotify! Check out this Medium article by Austin Condiff I found today, detailing this concept (following mockup taken from that article).  I've been hoping to have some social aspect like this within Spotify, and I think this would enrich the community even further. You could create rooms based on genres or moods, and enjoy music together with friends and strangers alike. An upvote/downvote function would keep rooms democratic and true to their respective themes.  The mentioned article perfectly explains the concept and benefits of this feature, please check it out!  Thoughts? Thanks and have a great day! ... View more

  Allow me to re-edit again, in premise, that thanks to all of you this idea keeps receiving votes, and I am grateful to each of you, and when I expressed this desire as an idea I was a newbie, I owe to the professionality of Marco and Toku, whom I thank again, that I became aware that this idea it’s by no means new, nor even mine but Spotify’s, yet it is properly expressed, and it is shared by enough Community members for it to be still alive, and I agree with Arcanscape that, "We really need the lyrics feature", and I just notice an excellent temporary alternative of “SpotifyLyrics” kindly programmed and provided by Mirth (fr31): https://github.com/fr31/spotifylyrics/releases (via scoobyTdog), it works very well on my Pc :) and I invite you all to try it.   Whilst singing might be fun, I have another approach to lyrics and sound, which is of course not mutually exclusive, and I read the words to see if I like them as I enjoy the melody, if I see myself in the lyrics, if I share the values expressed, and this is easier by having the words at hand.   So please Spotify bring back the Lyrics Feature most elegantly -- as you did with restyling the Community -- when you find a better Lyrics Provider.   Reading and listening might be even better than karaoke, although not as fun ;-) and every member could always do both, even just singing, as a very close person in my family does, and many other people do.   Thank you for evaluating, with my warmest and most sincere Regards.   Marco, a poet at heart   ...
