This idea would work in conjunction with starting a group session, but in an easier way. I suggest that we should be able to invite people to group sessions, directly through Spotify.   In the top right corner, after starting a session, there is a plus sign that would be the perfect place for this feature work from. It seems to be for showing who is listening, right now; I don't know, but it could have two parts, one for current listeners, and a section for who you're following, your followers, and a search bar for people that you aren't following or being followed by. Maybe you meet someone on the bus or in a lobby or wherever, and decide to have a quick session. It would come in handy, because there's no obligation to follow each other, and none to give out phone numbers or social media information, just to share music with each other. ... View more

Hey, Spotify! During the pandemic, sharing music via Spotify has been an invaluable connection point between me and my friends through collaborative playlists, friend activity, and Spotify sessions. Sharing music has always been a big part of staying in touch with friends, and I think a music-specific (i.e., music-only) messaging feature would be advantageous feature to streamline the user experience as far as sharing music and, ultimately, visiting the app as a result. (Often, links shared via text message get lost in the conversation!!) Would love to see some kind of direct messaging but music only (i.e., not a text-based messaging feature) to expand the music exploration even more!!   ... View more

It would be so awesome if you could see if people (can still keep it anon) are listening to your playlist or by showing how many people have listened to it/clicked on the playlist — if I could see people (again even if it’s just anon) were listening to my playlists it would inspire me to create more and share more on social media! 🙂   ...

Hiya, I am trying to boost my band's visibility and thought, like loads before me, that making a few playlists to help build that social connectivity would be a good idea. Problem: how do i find fellow artists in the same genre with less than, say, 10,000 followers so that i can listen to their stuff and add it to my playlist. I totally appreciate that an Spotify-curated playlist is going to be big and you already have your algorithms and curation teams BUT what if you could provide a search capability in the Spotify for Artists that would allow me (and any other artist) to 'Community Curate'? So, I could search for rock artists with less than x followers to give me a list of songs that i can work through and curate into my own playlist. I think this would also benefit Spotify as your algorithms would obviously pick up the more refined lists - we're all curating each others music at the lower tiers for you.  I think the search engine would give a vehicle for an easier social interaction with smaller bands. thanks for taking the time to read this Ben from Fortitude! (you'll forgive me for always sending the link 😉 )  ... View more

Yesterday I watched The Social Dilemma on Netflix and I remembered an idea I had some years ago. Basically my idea is to create The Spotify Phone which is a phone that has the normal functionalities of dumb phones and the only extra thing is Spotify app.   ... View more

I know you can see if someone's online through your following, but I thought it would be interesting to be able to see if someone's online- perhaps with a green dot on the bottom of their avatar.    ... View more

Hi, I'm wondering if it's possible to change the album cover screen on the spotify TV app. I remember it used to be a small picture of the album/song cover with some accent color around it, but now it's just a close up image of the artist. It's really unpleasant, and disturbing when you're having a dinner party or friends over. ... View more

Recently, Spotify got rid of listing albums that came out in a genre and has instead now totally relied on its algorithms to find you music that you may like.   That's nice n all but if we ignore that many albums are labeled and tagged incorrectly with wrong genre labels, it has always been useful to scroll through a list of albums that have come out and see what interests you. Sometimes a name, the album art or just random chance may have you pick an album/EP/Single and it turns out to be something you like. This isn't predictable because lets say you're looking for underground,<1000 likes artists, you'll never find it because the algorithm will always be tuned towards the popular stuff and not what you want. Also people's tastes vary so much. Sometimes you may want a jazz track and next you're hankering for some boom bap hip hop. Bring back listing the albums by date, especially as much music releases on Friday ... View more

Being able to be on the same account profile and playing music at the same time on your device as someone else, elsewhere is under the same account profile able to play what they want on their device at the same time. EX: My kids wants to listen to my account profile- one wants to listen to one playlist on that account profile on their tablet, the other one plays another playlist on their tablet from the same profile, and I can listen to my podcast/ playlist at the same time while I'm at the gym. ...

The Spotify Daily Drive seems to be getting worse. First the playlist of songs barely refresh and now the shows/podcasts in between the music is no longer full length. I keep getting the mini versions which are 5 to 10 minutes. Then the same cycle of songs every day. If Spotify could go back to putting the full versions of the podcasts/full length news discussions on the Daily Drive. The experience would be much better. The Get Up is my replacement for now but they don’t post on weekends. ... View more
