It would be really cool to be able to see the genre of an album when viewing it. This would be especially helpful when going through the New Releases section as I can determine whether I'd like to listen to a new album rather than make a guess as to which genre the album is. ... View more

On iOS mobile, when playing a podcast, you are not able to view the queue by clicking the three-dots in the upper right corner, like you can while playing a song. So, if you queue up some podcasts, you can't look at your queue to see what's coming up next, or rearrange them.  See images attached - one shows the screen when playing a song (note the "go to queue")  and one shows the screen when playing a song. This should be an easy fix. ... View more

This could go two ways depending on Spotify's thoughtrs. You could allow users to switch between alternate main menu setups or have them be able to customize their own by resizing or removing current fields on Spotify's design. Bottom currently playing play bar    Ex. -Just show CD Cover and Artist Info (Casual play) -CD Cover (covers most of screen) and playlist in column on right side of screen (great for parties) -Left column playlists(could select users playlist, Discover, or Moods), Center cover art and artist info, Right colum currently selected playlist showing up next at the top of list. ...

Hi there,   I think many users get annoyed by those "local" recommendations that are based on the country that is chosen by their payment method. E.g. I'm living in Europe, where English language is not local language, and I'm getting recommendations for the local songs, which I don't like, and I'd prefer English music over that, is there any chance I could change my country of recommendations to US or Canada?    Thanks ...

Please add a section to the desktop and mobile apps where we can see all of the new releases from the artists we follow.    For a third party solution check out http://app.swarm.fm  (PLEASE IMPLEMENT IT LIKE THIS)   This new section would update automatically when a new album from an artist you follow is available on Spotify. Please make the feed have a high display limit so we can go back months and months and for sure won't miss any releases.   Screenshot from swarm.fm:   The Release Radar playlist is not acceptable!   The problem with the Release Radar playlist is that it mixes in suggestions. I want to see followed artists ONLY. And if you check the playlist a week too late, all the songs are GONE.   We need a feed that we can scroll back months and months and months so we can see all the new releases. We shouldn't have to rush through it and it be gone the next week.     New release emails and in app notifications are no longer offered   Right now you can follow artists and get emails when a new album comes out, but these emails can be very unreliable and easily missed if you get lots of them spamming your email.   I would compare the current situation as Twitter allowing you to follow people on Twitter, but they do not have a feed to see all of the tweets. Instead you have to individually go to each person's profile to see their tweets with the option of getting the tweets sent to your email. See how silly it sounds?   It would work in addition to new release emails. (you can always turn off new release emails in your account settings and just use this new section) ... View more

This is not a new idea, but I haven't found any practical reply to it, so I think it needs to be repeated. I completely agree with Rennestein (screen capture below), we need to stop seeing irrelevant suggestions because it is annoying. Why can't it be possible to decide what we first see when we open Spotify on any device? (playlists, recently played, artists we're following, etc), and enjoy better our Spotify experience? Please Spotify, let us have the home screen as we'd like. :)) Thank you! ... View more

Hi guys,   I've already asked for support in this topic: https://community.spotify.com/t5/Other-Partners-Web-Player-etc/Albums-in-web-browser-no-longer-displayed-in-alphabetical-order/m-p/4571794#M57223 and a moderator suggested me to submit it as a "new idea". I'm a free-spotify user, and I'm using the web browser app from a windows 10 laptop computer. The problem, basically, is that in the desktop web browser albums and artists are no longer sorted in alphabetical order, and if I want to play a specific album finding it is not trivial. Just take a look at the attached picture and you'll figure out easily. Right now, albums and artists are sorted ascending from "last added". I understand that maybe someone would find this organization "useful" or "brilliant", so my idea is either to revert to the old alphabetical organization or to give an option to select the way we'd like albums or artists to be sorted. It shouldn't be difficult to do it.   Before someone asks: I know that the desktop app works fine, but I haven't got the possibility to install software on my computer. ... View more

Others have previously asked for this very obvious piece of functionality to be available - remove playlists from what comes up in the browse page.  This ought to be a no-brainer on Spotifies part because it's more data for them to use to corral their users.  Yet they've just ignored the requests.   There's also the fact that it'll make listeners happier because Spotify clearly has no idea  a) What listeners want to listen to or b) What music genres are A new playlist appeared in my browse page recently - Alt. Pop.  I can only assume that whoever put this list together either doesn't know what alt means or they don't know what pop means because it's just plain pop music.  I have never listened to anything like this on Spotify or shown any inclination to listen to anything even remotely like this, yet it appears amongst the first handful of suggested playlists.  It's all very well for Spotify to be trying to make suggestions for music to listen to.  But if in 3 years of using Spotify I'm not aware of having listened to a single pop song that's been produced in the last 20 years, at least not all the way through because when one does come up I skip to the next song, it ought to be clear I have no desire to listen to pop.  Or R&B.  And I certainly don't want playlists where the person who put it together has just plain lied about what the playlist is.   So until Spotify can figure out things like genres, why not put in a feature that demonstrates that someone is actually paying attention to what listeners want? ...

Hello, my name is Lucas and I produce several different podcasts. Although I live in the US, I'm originally from Brazil, and all the podcasts I participate in the creation and production are from Brazil.   Currently, Spotify does not allow me to see the Brazilian podcasts in the podcast browse page. I cannot sort nor search for podcasts from a country different than the US, and the only way I can find Brazilian podcasts is by searching them by name.   It becomes very difficult to discover which podcasts are trending, and to discover other podcasts I have not hear about before. I can't even see my podcasts unless I look specifically for them. This kind of information is very valuable to me, and I wish there was a way to see it.   Thanks,   Lucas.  ... View more

Hello! Since most ideas seems to be different ways to make our listening more efficient, smooth and comfortable here´s mine. Many computers today already have integrated hotkeys (usually located above the F1-F12 buttons) that allows simple pausing and previous/next functions. However, keyboards/laptop keyboards that doesnt have these buttons would benefit from having an option to show a smaller version on-screen providing the same functions. The toolbar would be shown on top of current windows. (activated by pressing an (editable) hotkey?)  (See image) While the current option works well enough, it force-minimizes the current window and brings up the Spotify window, which we then have to minimize, before returning to previous occupation.   This "toolbar" would probably be most appealing to gamers, since we dont like interruptions ;) , but also to others who wish to make their music experience as pleasant as possible. Sure, we´re talking about seconds. But these seconds matters. Happy and efficient listening! EDIT: Several years later... 300+ kudos.  Nice! When I wrote toolbar, I realize overlay would better describe what I'm hoping for. Much like how the Task Manager window has an option for "always on top", a very slim Spotify bar with the same propertiy would be great in-game or in any other fullscreen application. Similar, but not the same: Spotify Mini Player Concept by pixelpusher . Kudos for kudos!   ... View more

I have been seeing a lot of people complaining that their Recently Played Artists list is either inaccurate or rarely updated. I am experiencing both of these problems.

Dear Spotify, please reduce wasted screen real estate in the desktop client. Right now, there is too much wasted space that could have been leveraged.   Here are my main gripes: Legend: 1: I admit that there is not too much you can fill this area with, but you could move the menu bar and the window title there. Now, two "lines" are essentially lost. 2: Fill this area with information and statistics. And for God's sake, why do you not let users add descriptions to their playlists? Partners and labels can, so why can't we? 3: Why did you add this space? I see no logic behind it. And the play button that appears when you hover over a list item is completely unnecessary. Just double click. It's much faster, as you don't have to move the mouse to that tiny little are on the screen. And if people don't know that they can double click to play a song, they should not be using a computer. All major OS' use double clicking for various tasks. 4: There is absolutely no reasy why this space should be there! 5: Reduce the space between people in the activity feed, so that you can see more of them! 6: Reduce the space between list items. It might be easier on the eyes if there is a large amount of line spacing, but it makes for a tedious and inconvenient browsing experience.     My suggestion for the UI:   (Some line spaces are uneven, because I used Photoshop.)   Thanks, Truls Bekk ...

When I click on New Releases, I want to be able to click on whats relevant to me, not for the general public. Can there be a section where new releases are seperated in to Genre a little better than it is now. For instance, I want see all new metal albums that have come out that day, without going to a website to see which artist have come out that day. Hope this comes out in a newer version guys.   Thanks Eric Smith ... View more
