Can you please reconsider the search bar change and restore the search bar to the home tab? I don't get why it needs to be in its own tab when it's much more easily accessible and visible next to the forward/back arrows on the home tab. After the recent update it always takes me extra effort to locate the search functionality.

In the My Library tab it would be awesome to search a song and be able to tell which of your playlists that song is in. A list view of everywhere you have it.

Hi team, I know you've seen a lot of this already, but removing the search bar from **Home** is really throwing me for a loop! Search is how I orient myself, and how I want to orient myself around Spotify. Would love it if it returned to its place of honour on the home page. Peace, Brian

I would like to have the ability to select original Artist only when searching songs. So when making up a play list show only the original artists of the songs. I have had quick look through settings and I didn't see it.

I think u guys should put the genre list where the search bar is so people can search for the genre instead of songs

kevo69za · ‎2021-03-27

A useful feature would be to have the option to select which genres we would like to see and therefore hide the genres we are not interested in. With the ever growing list of genres and movements Spotify seems to jump onto all the time, this feature would certainly clean up the search function. Thanks for your consideration. cheers Kevin

When searching for a song, there is often more than 1 version. In many cases, the actual songs were the same, only on different albums, but sometimes there is a difference like remaster or even remix version. But it is hard to find out unless I start each song to listen into or read the detailed information. See this screenshot for a search of "Where Are We Going? Marvin Gaye" (this comes from an intent by the Shazam app, which puts the title before the artist), there are several versions, including remixes. Which one should I listen to and why? Which one to save for later in a playlist, when I have no time to listen immediately as I overheard or shazammed a song on the radio or in a shop? Your app will start the first song, which is often okay, so thumbs up for a mostly good algorithm. But some more details would be helpful. Maybe each long line could start scrolling after some time. Or you could use the 6 redundant lines of "Song . Marvin Gaye" to indicate which is the newest / most remastered / most popular version, and which are remixes? Correct the highlighted errors and try again. This idea exchange requires at least one label for each idea. You have autosaved content from 12:26 PM. Drag and drop here or browse files to attach

Thanks for adding this same feature with playlists wherein you can add songs that belong to the same or various artists to your playlist if they have similarities when it comes to the genre, the album, the tune, or even with the artist who played those hits. This feature would be a great addition to the search feature wherein if you search for a song and you play it, a "Show Me More Songs Like This" button would appear either on the music player itself beside the shuffle and repeat buttons or on the options menu (···) following the Liked, Add to Playlist, Add to Queue, etc. buttons. How this works is the algorithm identifies songs that are similar in tune, in vibe, or in the genre to the current song that you just searched and played and will help users to listen to other songs that they don't know but might be interested in listening to.

When you click on "search" button without typing anything, it's showing recent songs. And if you play a song, there is a string above this song. String says "Playing from search 'search' in Songs" I want "search" changed with "recent songs" as default string.

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

Sometimes I name playlists with emojis only, and they are not searchable when I enter them in the 'Find in playlists' search bar This seems to be an issue on iOS, but is fine on macOS

I am Emanuele and I am 16 years old. I thought about an interesting idea that I would add to your platform. I would build a world map, where artists all around the globe are shown up and you can zoom in and look for what people in that specific country/city are listening to. I would add it in the premium accounts to incentivize people to buy it. That would bring people to know more artists and be able to listen to foreign artists more easily. For instance, I would like to improve my German, what's the best way to do it? Listen to German music and learn new vocables. So, what shall I do? I'll just go to the main world map of Spotify, zoom on Germany, and look for artists. I'm pretty sure that this innovative idea could bring Spotify Premium listeners different benefits! I hope that you will consider this offer and contact me.

I'm really missing the alphabet scroll bar for artists and songs on the iPhone Spotify app. Please return this feature!

h_o_l_o · ‎2019-02-20

Hello! A useful feature for the people that go out running would be an option to view and sort/search music based on beats per minute (BMP), either in "My Music" or overall in Spotify. I am aware that there are different public Playlists based on bpm, but i'm still feeling a lack of possibility to view/sort music that i personally prefer by bmp. What do you guys think? Thanks!

The new in-app voice search/command in the iOS app is fantastic and works great. You should add a tab in carplay that allow for voice searches and commands.

Dear spotify, First of all, thanks for your awesome service! I really enjoy my premium account on my desktop and iPhone version and use it at home and wherever I go. However there's something that bothers me often while searching for a song, especially on the iPhone version. I often search for a song of a specific artist. So I use the search function and reach the artist's page. Once there, the app only shows the 5 most popular songs of the artist. But often the song I'm looking for is not listed there (maybe nr 6 on the list or lower). Now I have the option of searching through the albums, which can be quite time consuming, or try to use the search function again and hope to find it with a more specific combination of words (provided that I know anything more than the artist's name). Now every time I get to this I'm thinking why can't I tap a button ('see all songs') which allows me to see all the artist's songs in a list? That is something I'm looking for intuitively. On the desktop version, the list of 5 can be extended to 10 most popular, but also here I'm thinking: why only 10?! Actually, the list I'm looking for can be brought up by the app already by playing the first song (while not in shuffle mode) and tapping the playlist icon. This brings up the kind of list I would like to see: all the artists songs I can just browse through. Only now I'm playing the first song, which I didn't want to hear at all. Preferably, I would want to be albe to sort the list in order of popularity or alphabet. Cheers!
