I have seen this idea posted several times over the years and they are all marked closed. I personally find it really frustrating that people have clearly been asking for this and over and over been denied, especially because it seems like a rather simple feature. Anyway, on the web player on Chromebook, there is an excellent popout player that remains on top of other tabs and windows you open, has the album/song art and has simple controls like pause, play, skip, and rewind that show when you hover over it. You can also move it around your screen so you position it where is easiest for you. It's crazy to me that this feature hasn't been implemented already for the desktop application, or if it has then the fact that it's been removed. It's super annoying to have to stop what I'm in the middle of to open the Spotify window just to see what is playing, or to skip or save a song. Something with just the basics of these features would make a huge difference and make usability so much easier. ... 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. ...

You have recently changed daily mix playlists to be called "<artist> mix" rather than "daily mix <number>".    Please bring back the old naming convention.    In the world of being able to ask Google/Siri/Alexa to play music we cannot now use these services to ask to play the daily mix playlists.    If i ask for "<artist> mix" or <artist> daily mix" or other similar terms the services either play nothing because they cant find a playlist with that name or they play a playlist of JUST that artist.    the good thing about daily mix was a it played a aselection of music, and if you did not like #1 you could aski it to play #4 and get different music.    NOW we have to know what the first artist in the list is and we have to use a device to play it rather than using any of the popular voice activated services.      ...

When you try to play a podcast that also has video on desktop, there is no option to disable it and only play audio.  This is unnecessary for me, because I do other things while listening to podcasts.  It also introduces unnecessary strain on my internet connection to stream video that I won't watch, as well as strain on my hardware trying to decode the video.  Much like the "disable canvas" option on mobile, I feel like it would be beneficial to have a "disable videos" on desktop. ...

I've recently just started curating playlists and it would be really helpful if I could see how many streams each song has gotten from my playlist, as well as how many times each song has been skipped so I can better know what the people listening to like and don't like.  ... View more

I think it would be awesome if Spotify introduced a new genre to the Browse/Search section: Psychedelia. Here, it could include many of the playlists it already has such as Psytrance Supernova and Psychedelic Rock but also add new ones. There's alot of room for improvement in Spotify's Psytrance collection: there are many sub/fusion-genres of psytrance (Goa Trance, Nizhonot, Hitech, Dark Psy, Psydub etc.) and there are even dedicated festivals such as Psy-Fi with separate stages for each vibe. I know this may be a slightly obscure scene globally speaking but there is definitely a large and dedicated enough audience to cater for.  ... View more

I love the idea of Collab playlists, but I still like cultivating my own playlists for myself to listen. i really like it when friends of mine then listen to these playlists and send me songs suggestions, but I wish there was a way to do that through spotify. Like what if there was a option that you could allow song suggestions from your followers for a specific playlist(s), and then you can either accept the suggestion & it gets added to your playlist, or you can decline it and the suggestion disappears. This would be similar in functionality to either adding or declining the spotify suggestions at the bottom of each playlist, but they would be coming directly from your friends instead. I think this would be a great way to build your playlists & discover new songs from friends 😀 while still being able to have full discretion over what gets added ... View more

Videos are a great media, however they should not be included in curated playlists. It is distracting to listeners that drive with Spotify, or put it on in the background at work. Also, are these videos downloaded when users make a playlist available offline? If yes, this may take up too much space. If no, this will eat data without an option to avoid them. ... View more

Please note: This idea only applies to Spotify client version 0.8.8+   I will admit this is partly my idea, but it has also been pointed out many times on the "Horrible Update" summarized nicely by Premify here.   I would really like the ability to view all of my playlist followers and I am sure I am not the only one. What I am suggesting is a simple system, where you could press on the "# Followers" section of the playlist Window:     I would suggest it would either give you a drop down of all the followers or even better (in my opinion), a redirect to another page with all the followers on it similar to the Following/Followers tab in the Follow page of the client.   Please add your kudos and any comments here!

I want to be able to opt-out of Spotify's A/B testing. You've taken away canvas from me, as well as a plethora of other great features in the name of testing.   Please allow at least paying users the ability to opt-out of being in A/B testing groups so I keep the features I'm paying for and have come to expect. This is a horrible user experience for people like me that are paying $15 a month on a family plan and not getting all the features that even my friends on free plans get. ... View more

Thanks for implementing a widget for the app for iOS14. However, the lack of the ability to set a static color scheme is frustrating.    The widget automatically changes color based on playlist/artist image, but doesn't seem to adjust to black/white.    Many users have spent a large amount of time setting up custom icon sets and themes that this widget clashes with. I have a black/white setup on mine, for example, and the bright green widget just doesn't work.    Would be as simple as adding a menu in settings for widgets and allowing choice between color schemes. Should be fairly easy from a coding perspective.  ... View more

Hi Spotify Team,   I would like to request a feature to rename track name...when I say rename...it would only apply on user side...other users can still search the track using original title..only the user who rename the track can see the custom track name. One use-case is when the track name is in full Japanese...i can rename it to custom english name so that its easier for me to search the track. ... View more

There should be a way for me to control my history of songs played. Sometimes I accidentally play things I don't want to hear or I try listening to songs I don't like. I should be able to remove them from my history so that my stats are accurate for song and music suggestions.    Also....My account was hacked and someone played music I would never listen to. I can't delete those songs from my history. I can only remove them from my recently played section. I DON'T LIKE THAT!   I tried to ask a customer service agent to delete the songs, but they said it couldn't be done. Wow! Move to the 21st century, Spotify, and give your customers some more control. Sheesh! ... View more

As a paying Spotify premium customer, I need a shuffle algorithm different from the current, non-random shuffle that seems to favor "popular" songs, as has been pointed out by other customers who experimented with what is actually happening (see links to other posts below). Currently there are only two possible ways to listen to music in playlists, either in the listed order, or shuffled by an algorithm that makes listeners miss out on about 20% to 30% of the songs in the list, favoring the ones that we already listened to hundreds or thousands of times. I want to be able to choose another algorithm that does exactly the opposite: play songs in a pseudo-random order but leaving out the ones that already have been played frequently, and instead focusing on songs seldom listened to, in order to make me rediscover new songs and inspirations! This is even more important when listening to playlists made by other people, to help me discover new music. The new algorithm could be called something like "serendipity shuffle" or "discover mode". This could be an option to activate in the user's settings, so the existing popularity shuffle would stay the default option. In case a serendipity shuffle is too hard for you to implement, a simple randomized shuffle function would also be much better than the current one. This has already been pointed out in other posts in this forum.
