Feature request: Add support for Apple Silicon in a future Spotify release on Mac OS.   Apple have recently released a new generation of Macs based on their own Apple Silicon. I hope that Spotify will prioritize native support for this new CPU architecture.  If so the best music platform on the Mac, will continue running great natively on the new generation Mac hardware. ...

Can you tell me when Spotify will be released for Windows on ARM and where on your Roadmap it is?   Windows on ARM PCs have been out a few years now and whilst the 32-Bit Windows App works, due to software emulation not optimally.   Apple announced on the 22nd of June Macs are moving to ARM starting the end of the year and they expect the transition away from Intel to ARM to take 2 years. Both Microsoft and Adobe are working on ARM compatibility. Currently on my Microsoft Surface Pro X I have to use the 32-Bit download which lags. A new idea was posted for this last year but it's been closed as it didn't get enough Likes but it didn't get enough Likes as it's been closed 😕 - https://community.spotify.com/t5/Closed-Ideas/Desktop-Compile-Spotify-for-ARM64-windows/idi-p/4781136 Thanks ...

Introduction Those of us using the Spotify Developer API to integrate with our solutions are finding it difficult keeping a real-time view of what is being played. We are having to repeatedly hammer the API to get playback status updates at least every couple of seconds for it to be reliable.   This not only wasteful of resources for both ourselves and the Spotify infrastructure team, it's also slow and burns through API limits pretty quickly resulting in our calls being temporarily blocked, rendering real-time stuff useless.    New feature proposal Provide access to Spotify websockets. This would not only reduce demand on Spotify's web API servers, it would speed up response times for integrated services and improve the quality of service for Spotify, ourselves as developers and service users alike.   Spotify already has websockets in use for the Web Player (and a few premium clients), however these are locked down and we are not permitted to access it. The code is already there and should hopefully be easy to implement by the Spotify dev team and would really help us third-party developers out.   What are websockets? For the layman who is curious what we're talking about here, websockets are a widely-used method for getting "push notifications" of updates by opening a single, long-running data connection over which updates are only fed when necessary.   It's much faster, less overhead, uses less resources overall and prevents having to repeatedly hammer the Spotify API like this;   connect -> poll playback status -> wait for a response -> analyse response -> disconnect -> process playback data -> sleep 2 seconds -> connect -> poll...   With websockets it would look more like this;   connect -> spotify sends current playback status -> (no data sent whilst user listens to track) -> track changed, spotify sends new playback status   As you can hopefully see, this is far more efficient. Spotify dev team, please make this a reality, it'll help both ourselves and yourselves.   Previous thread; https://community.spotify.com/t5/Spotify-for-Developers/Access-to-websockets/td-p/4955299 ...

So this idea idea has been posted before in a different format and it was closed. The 100 likes in year is a bit aggressive. It could be that not enough users visit the ideas page. I'm sure it would have gotten 100 likes within the year if people knew it was suggested.   Here's the original link... It got over 400 likes. https://community.spotify.com/t5/Closed-Ideas/Partnership-Chrome-OS-native-App/idi-p/1016646/page/11#comments   I'd like to reopen it since many of us are now using Chromebooks, and do not have Windows PCs. In general, Spotify should update the web based app/player and provide the exact same functionality as the Windows PC app and then synchronize both as enhancements are applied. It would be nice to be able to upload local files from a Chromebook and have the same folder and sorting functionality. At the moment I see a lot of issues with the web player and it doesn't seem to get the attention it needs.   - Jason   ... View more

Folders are a key feature for many users such as myself for managing hundreds of playlists. The inability to access these folders via the API, be it creating/modifying folders or just accessing folder info, is really frustrating.   A simple API for doing these things would be greatly appreciated. ...

The equalizer used to have a 32Hz band. Now it's only 60Hz as the lowest band. You've basically castrated the equalizer's bass capability!  60 Hz is not even bass. There are many acoustic instruments with bass fundamentals or 1st, 2nd harmonics that are far below the range of this app's equalizer as currently built. Please fix this error in the next update. You claim to support music quality. Well?   ... View more

On the PS5, when you click the home button once on the controller you can access many different sections such as the Music section. When you do that, it pulls up your Spotify playlists but for some reason it doesn’t show your “Liked Songs” playlist of all the songs you’ve liked. There should be a patch to implement the playlist, because it is not showing up. That playlist is always visible on mobile Spotify and PS4 but it’s actually not there on the PS5 music section. You would have to do more steps just to launch the actual Spotify app and it becomes a hassle. ... View more

Make it so when you have crossfade turned on the tempo of the songs syncs together and the tempo of the first song slowly speeds up/slows down to the tempo of the next song so it has a really smooth transition. You'd have to somehow detect the tempo of each song and then have the tempo of song A fade into the tempo of song B. This would be really cool to have instead of just having the volume of the songs fade with the crossfade option. ... View more

It would be awesome to have an option when right-clicking a song to copy the title or artist + title so you can search for it (Lyrics / Translation / Music Video or whatever), because sometimes you can't type it with your keyboard, e.g. when it's a foreign language.   You can display the artists and see the title with an option when right-clicking a song, but unfortunately you can only copy them in the web version. ...

Currently the Spotify desktop application does not support native Wayland. This is due to the fact that it is built on the CEF (Chromium Embedded Framework).   The CEF is working on Wayland support through Ozone right now, and it should be ready relatively soon.   The reason I am submitting this is so that we can make sure the developers know that this is a priority as soon as the CEF releases support ...

i was having beers with a good friend of mine in my living room listening to spotify on my google home speaker. as we were listening to music, we came up with a game that involves two people or more (unlimited) to pick a song in either a certain genre or open to all types of music. the purpose of the game is for one person to pick a popular song by a certain band and the other player picks a song that he or she believes to be more popular the the first player. after both players have chosen there song, you open the spotify app and type in the song, the song with the most played or viewed numbers wins the round. the next round begins with the opposite player, and so on. the players each get three band cards that gives you a chance to name a band instead of a song. the most popular song, with the highest numbers of  the music band will be you're chosen song. the challenger will come up with a song that he believes is more popular then the chosen song. then again, you open the spotify app and search the song and look at the numbers that the song has been downloaded or played, the most popular song wins the round either have a drink or carry on with the next round. the game keeps the environment and party in a good mood. listening to popular songs is a mood and energy changer. this game would definitely keep the party going. thank you we are open to tips and information on getting this idea out there to spotify.

Since Spotify has stated that they will be discontinuing support for Spotify library access in third party DJ apps, this will most likely leave some DJs in different stages of their hobby/profession in a rut, having to switch to a different music provider, or just creating their own library of songs. Either way this could mean a potential loss of customers in that field for Spotify. If Spotify were to create their own DJ software, they could potentially give that field of people a reason to stay with the platform (Provided that the software is comparable to the likes of existing software, such as the former, Spotify compatible, leader, DJay.). In my opinion, this would be pretty cool, and helpful, considering that no other apps will be Spotify compatible as of July 1st 2020. ... View more

Many deluxe albums, compilations or just regular releases from renowned artists consist of dual (or triple) discs in their physical form. The Spotify desktop app displays little icons for each separate disc that show the user when the album they're listening to is divided like so by the artist. It would be nice to have that simple feature added to the mobile apps, as it often has a meaning for the artist and is part of the art, or just separates the new tracks from the old in a deluxe edition. I can't think of a reason this was not implemented in the app a long time ago, maybe it can be done someday. 🤞 ... View more
