I hereby officially recommend that Spotify implement the ability to see where you are currently located (current row being play played) from within your Playlist ListView on the scroll bar. Please see below for an example.     Thank you for attending my lecture. Edit: Updated subject to include 'scrollbar'. ... View more

  I would love to see my queue while browsing through playlists and Albums.   I suggest a new tab on the right hand side of the screen which you can activate by clicking on the queue symbol that is already there.   You could also drag-and-drop your songs into the queue.   Thank you for considering! Here is an example how it could look: ... View more

I would like to be able, on all platforms, to zoom in on larger versions of all album covers.   I listen to a lot of classical music, and there are almost always multiple recordings of a given work. So for example, I might search for something like "Mahler 3" and then scroll to see which recordings of that symphony are available. But unless I happen to recognize the cover art from the thumbnail, it can be difficult to tell which orchestra is playing, with which conductor -- and those are important to me in determining which recording I want to listen to.   The issue is particularly bad on the mobile app, where the cover art is tiny. On all apps, I can click through to the album to see more information, which usually includes what I'm looking for, but on mobile and in my browser that information is often truncated (and in the Windows desktop app, I often have to maximize the window to see all the info).   I know that there has been a similar implemented issue (https://community.spotify.com/t5/Implemented-Ideas/Desktop-View-larger-Album-Art/idi-p/112292), but that one deals with viewing the cover art of an album one is already listening to, and it only applies to the desktop player. I would like to be able to view a larger version of the cover as part of my browsing process, before I decide which album to listen to.   ... 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. ...

I think it would be great if we could pause, skip songs, control volume, etc with the little buttons that most headphones have. This way we can change music easily while gaming without leaving the game or needing a multimedia keyboard. ... View more

Hey,   The idea would be that we are able to change the language of content we are getting. I'm Hungarian and I live in the Netherlands, therefore I pay my account from here, so most of the podcasts let's say are Dutch (and I don't speak Dutch). When I was paying from Hungary it as mostly in English (or Hungarian).   So it'd be nice if the language of content was not depedent on the country we are paying from. ... View more

When looking at the popularity bar (thumbs up symbol) next to a song, I think it'd make more sense to have it be normalized to show which songs are most popular within the album or playlist you're looking at. It doesn't really provide useful information to see that every song in an album has 3 bars of popularity. Especially when new music comes out, it creates a way of voting which songs are best.   iTunes used to do this based on which songs were most purchased, and I thought it was helpful and interesting. ...

I would very much like to have the opportunity to clear the queue!   Youtube Music, Google Play Music and Tidal have this possibility and I appreciate this function very much. It annoys me that Spotify always has a permanent state, in which always the last played song is indicated below! I want to have the possibility to empty the queue, so that it is not visible, which song I have heard last. You could introduce the function under the options with three points. Please.   Please introduce this function, it really annoys that it is not possible and should not be so difficult. ... View more

Currently, I live and study in Germany, but I don't know the German language at all, and the primary language that I use is English. Because I have a German account I get a lot of recommendations in this language, like podcasts, which I can't understand and are useless for me. I would propose making a global version, where you would get recommendations without being tied to the country you live in. Or, if I could set my primary language, so I can get more recommendations in the language I speak. TLDR: I want to select the language which I speak, not by the country I live in, or, mostly-English (global) version ... View more

I think it'd be a nice little feature to be able to see in which playlists in your library a song/album/artist is. For example, while searching for a song, when right-clicking a song, there would be a menu item with a list of playlists it's in. I think that'd be useful for people (like me) that have a lot of playlists in their library, it would make it easier when you're trying to figure out where you heard a song before. ... View more

It would be a huge improvement in user experience if it would be possible to quickly jump to a specific artist or album if you know the first letters of the title and could use a kind of quicksearch like in Apple Music. Apple Music: Tapping the letters between the up and down arrows opens a kind of letter overview (not a real keyboard). Tapping a letter brings you directly to that letter in artists or album view. With a huge library on Spotify, it is extremely painful to scroll through that long list of artists to get to "Vampire Weekend" for example.   First Screenshot shows Artists view of Apple Music on CarPlay. Second Screenshot shows Artists View of Spotify on Carplay. ... View more

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 and https://spotifyreleaselist.netlify.com (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 has been posted before but needs to gain more traction. You should be able to go from shuffling a playlist to playing an album in order without having to check whether shuffle is on. It's super frustrating accidentally not listening to an album in the order it was intended. Shuffle tends to stay on between sessions so it's easy to forget that you have it on. This feature sems like a no brainer. ... View more

I would like to propose a widget to enable a function to run the spotify app background in smart TV's, making possible to linsten to music while actually watching the channels schedule, instead of linstening the original audio from the channel.

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! 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.
