The playback in Android Automotive (not to be confused with Android Auto) in Polestar 2 is poor due to low bitrate in the Spotify app. Please either increase the hardcoded bitrate in the app or make the bitrate a user configurable setting in the app. Note that YouTube Music uses higher bitrate and sounds better on Android Automotive. You should rectify your low bitrate on Android Automotive before too many people migrate to YouTube Music.  ... View more

Share this with everyone you know and ask them to vote!   Spotify Integration with BMW Idrive 6 has always been sporadic and not all advertised features work. The latest Spotify versions 8.5.68.904 and 8.5.6.9.934 have bugs and the App does not appear in IDrive at all. The pervious version of Spotify was somewhat unreliable as I had to occasionally repair my phone with the car. I can no longer see the Spotify App in my BMW media list.  I can only listen to spotify from the bmw bluetooth audio option.    I've tried pairing an iPhone and the app appears on iDrive. For my android issue I deleted the App data and cache of both Bmw ConnectedDrive and Spotify app. I also unpaird the bluetooth connection between my smartphone car. Lastly, I uninstalled both Spotify and the BMW Apps. Nothing works.   Additionally, it would be great if my Playlist order in my car matched the order on the phone. For example, although my phone app is sorted alphabetically, my car would only show playlists in the order of what was most recently created.   Who else thinks Spotify needs to get it together and provide a quality app that integrates with iDrive?   Fix the Spotify Bug! ...

Imagine you're riding your brand new Polestar 2 enjoying the fantastic audio and your backseat drivers want to join in and "help out " with the music selection. If they could just scan the Group Session tag on the Spotify app in the car and join in!   I hope you'll consider adding support for group sessions on on Android Automotive - it would be a sweet addition to Spotify experience on Polestar 2. ...

It would appear that the newest update to mobile versions of Spotify have moved the Search/Filter options for playlist into a small context menu which is a few clicks and a scroll away.   I don't see the need for this - I (and I'm sure many others) use the search funtion and the sort functions all the time on mobile devices. So the fact that they have been moved elsewhere is really inconvenient - there was no need to do this.   Do other people agree that the search and sort functions need to be moved back to the playlist main screen? ...

Firstly let me say I have been using Spotify since it launched here in the US and have seen a lot of great improvements over the years. Great job! I am a music listener who likes to let the current track play out before starting a new one. I love what you have done on the iOS side with swipe to queue. Can you show Android some love and put this story in your backlog? 🙂 Thanks for listening! ... View more

Hello! The android Spotify icon recently got updated with a black border. For anyone with a dark or black wallpaper, the icon now appears to be smaller than all the other icons on the phone because the black blends in the the backdrops, making it look really off-putting and out of place.   Looked a lot nicer when the logo took up the whole space! Not sure if iPhone users would have the same issue, but it would make sense they do.   HopwHopef this can be easily adjusted! ... View more

I really like the addition of being able to sort Liked Songs by Artist and Album, thank you for that.   However, with that, it's been made unnecessarily more difficult to search for specific songs in Liked Songs by requiring you to push the top right 3 dots and then "Find in Liked Songs".   Please bring back being able to simply swipe down, get the search bar, and type in the song details. ...

Most apps provide a way to tap/hold then drag/drop for organizing folders. Some even include the left and right arrows to change what folder is nested under. The Spotify app, however, lacks such organization feature. A drag & drop ability would as explained below would solve this issue.    Similar to how it is done on the PC version. Each folder would have the 3 line grabber thing. On the right side, having arrows to change what a folder is nested under. This not only makes moving playlists and folders easier, but also gives the user a "live look" on how the folders are treed out.   I have attached a very rough example. Would have completed it but, the Android Gallery only permits so many text boxes on a image. ... View more

For a week or two now I've lost the option to long-press on a song, album, etc. in order to access the menu for things like adding it to the queue or a playlist. This was by far the easiest way to interact with the app. Please reimplement this feature. Please. Like really. Please.  ... View more

The spotify app for the Samsung Galaxy watch does not allow users to download and listen to podcasts on the watch while not connected to wifi/another device.

 attached bellow are 2 screens (app) of  the same song radio - that i followed and added to my playlists before the latest android update. - you can follow and add to playlists one but not the other.. now i can only unfollow song radios i previously added (before the update or from the desktop)  but then when i go to the song radio again there is only "play radio" button but no "follow" button. Also this means you can't que all the songs in the radio song list and add/remove/organize the songs - only play them by order/choose from the song radio  list.   I wonder whats the logic behind alowing users to follow song radio in the desktop app but not from the mobile android app?     It'd be great if you roll back this important feature:):)     ...

As I user, I want to find a playlist where I can see all my downloaded songs.  Imagine I downloaded 10 albums and 5 playlists. To hear shuffled all these, I need to add one by one to the play queue.

I think we all learned something today. Spotify will not bring back old Features on new releases. What if there is a different way? One that costs nothing and is already developed?   Same story happend to Blizzard with WOW, they had a beautiful Game and destroyed it with too many new feauters. As they keep loosing customers they decided to bring back the old client beside the new one, so every customer can decide if he wants to stay with the classic or the new Game.   Bring an old Spotify Version as an additional App to the Store, it costs u nothing because its already developed. But it gives us everything.   Thanks   ... View more

It has been asked for years and you seem to never pay attention to it. Can you please give us an option to disable the cover art wallpaper in the lock screen?   The wallpapers look low quality and ugly. I also think they are not necessary, since we have the album cover in the notification already.   Plase, think about this feature. You'd make your users very happy. If a lot of music players can have this option, I don't see why you can't.   Thanks.       ... View more

EDIT: I think I found the solution! Would be good to know in comments if this works for anyone else. Go to Spotify App/Settings, scroll down, and disable "Spotify Connect in background". (I think this may be a new setting which they've added? In which case, it's appreciated!)   ---   When I am connected to bluetooth, I may be listening to one audio app (YouTube, BBC Sounds, Google Play Music, etc., etc.) and then while I am listening, I want to open another audio app - e.g. maybe to find what I want to play next, while still listening to what is playing now.   However, whenever I open Spotify while my phone is connected to Bluetooth, then Spotify immediately starts playing. This is not the same as any other audio apps which I have ever used on Bluetooth (many mainstream ones). It is also not the same as what Spotify does if you are NOT on Bluetooth. If you are not on Bluetooth and you open Spotify then it just opens, and does not start playing until you tell it to - this is what I want and what I expect Spotify to do (even when on Bluetooth; and is what all other audio apps do, whether on or off Bluetooth). NB This is NOT the same issue as Spotify auto-starting when you first connect to Bluetooth. I realise that when you first connect to Bluetooth, then the most recent app which was connected to Bluetooth (which may or may not be Spotify) will auto-start. That is fine, and is not specific to Spotify at all. I am talking about the different issue which happens when you open Spotify after Bluetooth is already connected, and maybe when something else is already playing: it behaves differently from all other audio apps and just takes over the sound and starts playing without you asking it to (which is not something it does when off Bluetooth, when it behaves how I want, and like other apps). ...

The premium interface does not have the new features (cleaner home section of the app, and on the playlist screen there is like, hide and more options buttons next to each track displayed) included in the free subscription, which makes the free subscription seem better than premium.
