Hello, Just imagine a situation: You are sitting in the bus. And listening to your favourite music on headphones. When you notice a cute person who is sitting in the bus too, and really enjoying the music, while shaking head with the beat. So curious.. WHAT SHE/HE IS LISTENING TO?! How to know that? You take your phone from your pocket and open spotify app. There you see everyperson in 50m radius who is using Spotify and shares their music. And you see that she is listening for A-HA - TAKE ON MEE!. You connect to her music and listen to this song also. And when the bus stops, you leave it and say to her/him: ARE YOU PLANNING TO GO TO A-HA CONCERT THIS SUMMER? I LOVE THIS SONG TOO. And you live happily ever after <3 THE END (Or maybe just a beginning :) ___ So, the thing is : a possibility to look for surrounding spotify users and see what they are listening. A possibility to connect to their song. A possibility to turn ON or turn OFF music sharing (maybe you would like a private moment, and dont want to see everyone listening for your "shame songs" haha! I personally really really often pass a person with headphones and am very very curious, what they are listening to that moment. LIKE THIS IDEA? PLEASE VOTE UP AND LETS CREATE EVEN BETTER, CONNECTED SPOTIFY COMMUNITY  Cheers, Arturas from Lithuania ... View more

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. ...

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! ...

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! ...

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

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

With the reemergance of layered/3D/8D/headphones only audio videos on youtube, I would love to see an option like that become available for Spotify. It would: A.) create competitive edge over all other streaming platforms B.) potentially become a money making premium only feature (free to trial first of course) C.) be a great way to connect with artists who truly care about their musical output and the experience for listeners D.) be really freaking awesome.   Here's a list of songs that would be grerat in 8D: Slow Dancing In The Dark – Joji 3005 – Childish Gambino You Should See Me In A Crown – Billie Eilish Wait a Minute! – Willow SUMMER – BROCKHAMPTON Call Out My Name – The Weeknd   and basically every song ever because music is wonderful ...

Idea: "[All Platforms] Music videos" Artists do record a video to go with their music. I really want to watch them on Spotify. At Apple Music I can choose between listening to the music, or watching their video.  ... View more

Videos are a great media, however they should not be included in curated playlists. It is distracting to listeners that drive with Spotify, or put it on in the background at work. Also, are these videos downloaded when users make a playlist available offline? If yes, this may take up too much space. If no, this will eat data without an option to avoid them. ... View more

I saw this idea that didn't get enough kudos and got closed, so this is an updated version of that idea with some more suggestions on it.   - This is basically a referral program where Free or Premium Spotify users make other users join and use Spotify to get prizes like a month of Premium or maybe anything else. (Spotify Free users will get 1 month of premium and existing Premium users will not pay for their current month.)     - Any specific reward should be given when the user reaches a specific count of users invited (e.g. 1 month of Premium for 5 users) - All invited users should sign up and start using to be counted as referrals.   More suggestions over this idea will be appreciated by everyone.   You can support this idea become a reality by voting, thank you all who voted for the idea :)     If someday this becomes a reality, this will help Spotify increase their users and help Free users experience Premium and maybe want to continue their subscription by paying and helping Spotify again. Win-win.   Many thanks. ... View more

While listening to a playlist, it would be nice to bookmark where you left off. This way if I am listening to my Discover Weekly playlist, for example, and I switch to another song, I can jump back into my playlist at exactly the same place that I left off. This would help with the confusion of having to locate where I left off and motivate me to get back into a playlist.   I know that this idea has already been posted, but I just joined the community and I think this deserves more recognition then it has received! ...

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. ...

I'm on Spotify since 2008, so imagine the total of playlists and nostalgia... I'm pretty sure it's possible, maybe it's already possible, someone can give me answer plz? Thx :) ... View more

Dear Spotify   staff, Many fans including myself feel disappointed by boy group BTS' name being brought up in K-pop girl group BlackPink's spotify   profile. I am sure the writer of BlackPink's spotify profile description meant no harm, but mentioning one artist's name in another's profile description is something we found quite out of context and disrespectful.   -BTS and  BlackPink  are both talented groups   in their own authentic ways   and associating them with eachother for a fact as trivial as the one that they're in the same music industry isn't fair because they're   completely different and hard working artists who   deserve to   be loved for themselves, their concepts and their own music, not because they 'resemble'  eachother . By associating them, that is likely to damage the artists' sense of authenticity and ruin it especially for the people who don't know them yet.   -This could and has led to new listeners concluding that 'BlackPink is the girl version of BTS' which is undeniably wrong and unfair on both groups. They are both unique and should be known as such.   -BlackPink is consisted of 4 artists who we respect. I will repeat it :  we BTS fans completely respect BlackPink and every hard working artist who is under YG Entertainment. But, their company YG Entertainment has been known for not being very kind to BTS back when they were underground artists. So I hope you understand that that's the biggest reason why we do not want YG to be given the chance of using BTS for their own promotion.   As one of the biggest music platforms in the world, I am sure you do not only want your listeners to be satisfied but also your artists to shine under the best light possible. Please take both groups' authenticity and hard work into consideration because saying that they sound that much alike is not the right way to do it. All we ask is for you to simply remove those 3 letters from BlackPink's  Spotify   profile description. Thank you for reading. ... View more

I really like Spotify - both as a consumer and as an artist with various projects.   But...   A mainstream newspaper in Denmark just send out five advices to become more CO2-neutral. Advice number three bring "choose the streaming-platform that runs the most on renewables." That got me thinking...   First of all: Spotify should not let iTunes beat them in this area... Spotify are so much better in every other aspect. iTunes are apparently using more renewables then Spotify... Not good.   Secondly: Imagine if Spotify were CO2-neutral and could market themselves on that alongside with them already being awesome!   There is all kinds of technical solutions out there and I imagine that they should be focusing on energy production and cooling (for servers). The awesome thing is that it should be relatively simple because the servers are running 24/7 so there is a stable energy-flow.   As simple as that.   Have a nice day!   Regards, Stephan ...

The new Tastebreakers playlist is AWESOME! Spotify should implement this as a weekly playlist alongside Discover Weekly.  I love Discover Weekly, but it doesn't really stretch my boundaries.  I have historically used Hype Machine to find songs that are really out there and interesting, but as Spotify's in app experience has continued to improve, I find myself spending more and more time there instead.  Tastebreakers seems like the perfect in between - personally curated music that is just beyond my comfort zone.  More of this please! ...
