As a user, I'd like the ability to add individual songs to my library from albums, playlists, or the artist pages without marking them as liked songs or adding a whole album to my library.  Doing this would allow me to navigate to that artist in my library, and then listen to all the songs I've saved by them and for the ones I especially liked, I can "heart" those as liked songs.   Example: An artist has an album with 20 tracks. Of the 20, I typically listen to 5 tracks. I want to have the ability to add each of those 5 songs to my library without liking them.  When I want to listen, I search for the artist, scroll to the respective album, and I only see those 5 songs to play from the album in my library. ...

There are certain playlists and artists I listen to frequently on Spotify for activities that aren't specifically just listening to music - I have a gym playlist that has generic instrumental rock, and I have a playlist with vocal exercises from Drill Music Studio.   Unfortunately due to the frequency of listening, these have appeared at the top of my end-of-year wrap-up playlists, and I will need to sort through and exclude these songs to find the songs I actually listened to for pleasure during the year.   Is there a way to exclude certain artists, songs or playlists from counting towards listening totals? I'd appreciate using this to ensure the Spotify Wrapped playlists have an accurate reflection of the songs and artists I discovered during the year, and what some of my favourite songs were.   This was first suggested by user  maxjam   on an earlier ticket (Spotify Wrapped Customization (4626570)) , and I think it is worth bringing up again to review. ...

This idea is similar of this one but the goal is a bit different: https://community.spotify.com/t5/Live-Ideas/Your-Music-Organize-quot-YOUR-MUSIC-quot-by-GENRE/idi-p/741625   I suggest that in Filters button contain not only sort by option but group by too, like what you find in Windows:     Organize followed artists/albums by a single sorted list in Your Music isn't enough when set of contents is big and has many genres. This proposed feature will simplify this through arrange of separated lists (or even tags, similar at Search page) each one has a set of artists of a specific genre (or sub-genre). These lists are organized by sort by configuration too. For instance, in the rock genre list exist a set artists who are organized in alphabetical order. The same approach is applied in albums. Plus with the group by it's possible to separate the artists by date: TODAY, THIS WEEK, THIS MONTH, THIS YEAR (and if you want more specific year exists an option to research). Moreover, you can deactivate the 'group by' configuration selecting 'none' option. ... View more

When we used to buy albums/CDS/MP3s, a user’s music library consisted of all the albums/songs/artists that they purchased, and a user could browse thru their albums/cds or iTunes library to see what songs/albums/artists were in their Library.  They could easily answer the following example questions:   What songs/albums do I have by Stevie Wonder? Do I have the album “Quadrophenia” by the Who? Do I have the song “Circles” by Malone? However, in Spotify a user’s library only consists of playlists (including Liked Songs), and there are no easy ways to answer the questions above.    This idea suggestion would provide better search functions across a user’s library to improve their library management:   Is Artist [x] in any of my playlists? Which ones? Is Album [x] in any of my playlists? Which ones? Is Song [x] in any of my playlists? Which ones? Please note that these search functions would only apply to a user's library. ...

Spotify is my main music source; I play music through my airpods, while commuting, I use Apple Carplay and at home through my JBL BT speakers. Each device in a different surrounding (in-ear, in the car, in my bathroom or livingroom). Therefore I would like to be able to save some equalizersettings and give them their own settingsname (e.g. in-ear, car,...) If you agree, PLS back me up with some kudo's! THX   ... View more

I like the idea of Spotify Stations but the execution has been less than stellar to say the least. Today I had a station play the same artist six times in a row. Note that this station had 10 artists selected and it had the "similar artist" option on. If you weren't in the mood to listen to this artist at that time you would have to use all six skips in hope of getting a different artist. That's unacceptable.   Even outside of that occurrence the artist variety is terrible. Rarely will I get an artist on my station that is outside the selected 10 artist. And there's absolutely no way on the user's end to increase the variety. You can either have the "play similar artists" option on or off, without the choice of range of variety. I wish I could hear much more variety than the minuscule amount we are given.   Also I noticed that Spotify plays favoritism towards some artist within your selected 10. For example I had the band Gojira as part of my selected 10 station for a Death Metal station. However, Gojira would play way more often than any of the other 9 artists. Again, there's no one to really change this without removing Gojira from the selection altogether. I know, that technically the thumbs up/down system should help with that, but I should have to thumbs down a song I like just so I can listen to other songs.   I also have another problem that when I do get an artist outside of my selected 10 artists, they are often outside the genre that the station is supposed to represent. I have a station that's filled with numerous Funk artists but the rare few occasion I do get an artist to play that isn't part of the selected 10, they usually aren't a funk group. It's infuriating.   I don't know what to say other than fix this.       ... View more

It would be cool to see an ability to sign into an account using a qr code. The desktop will provide a qr code, you scan it with your Spotify mobile, your Spotify mobile will say "Do you wanna sign in on desktop-2919" and you will be able to say yes, and you can skip the password and email typing in process.  I just believe this would save some time.    If security is a problem, it could possibly sign out of that device after like a 3 days or so.  Sometimes, I want to be able to pull up Spotify on a desktop at school; however, I don't want to sign into Facebook and leave the possibility of myself forgetting to sign out of Facebook as well. Using the qr code, it could possibly be a temporary session.   What do you users think, would this idea be good or not?     ... View more

I was so excited to see the "make a playlist for your pet" option in my email, but I was super disappointed that tortoises/turtles were not an option! I am hoping turtles/tortoises can be added as an option for choosing a pet for the pet playlist, or maybe a more generic "reptile" category because snakes are also missing as well. Who else is a reptile owner out there who agrees that "iguana" does not cover a large enough variety of reptile pets? ... View more

Hey,   I know there's a lot of requests on privacy and how it works... Leaving that aside I'd just like to get quicker access to it on mobile.   Right now, private listening is in user options screen. I go in, turn it on and then go find my playlist I want to keep private... (EG, at night time sounds of the rainforest or classical music or something)   I want to keep this private because I don't want my discover weekly and other recommendations to offer me ambient noise tracks or classical pieces. They are focused playlists to help me sleep, and are way different to my listening habits throughout the day.   So, the feature is, on the Song/Playlist/Artist/Album (dot dot dot) more controls menu, just add in a simple option which says "Listen in Private Mode".   Then I can just ad-hoc listen privately without going in and out of user profile.    Potential extra functionality...   Privacy mode persists throughout the duration of the selected playlist/album/etc and does not time out. If I listen to a playlist in privacy mode, and then switch playlists to something else, privacy mode is disabled. I can re-enable it if I want in the ... menu, however I think a user has made a choice to switch, therefore listening preferences should be reset.  If an issue, show a notification bar very briefly onscreen (like the cannot play song blue bar that sticks to the top) that flashes up a message 'Privacy mode disabled: Enable on this (Album/Playlist/Etc) -- Easier continued privacy listening Basically it.    Thanks   ...

Namibia’s pop-culture with regards to original music is growing faster than ever and in need of more development and attention — which is exactly what opening the industry to streaming services would do (currently we have no mainstream services). Some of our top artists have begun to garner international attention and it’s important to nurture this attention and channel it into musical growth which would allow Namibian musical artists to export their art. Similarly, we do have the growing digital infrastructure to accommodate streaming services, which would connect Namibia's streaming data to international artists and eventually solidify Spotify as the country's main streaming service across all operating systems/devices. Right now Spotify is only available in Namibia for a 30-day period, barring the country from the full Spotify premium package. Seeing as how Spotify does have head offices in South Africa and Namibia does share its borders with SA, would it not be possible to link the rest of the region and Launch Spotify Premium in Namibia - removing the 30-day limit which bars us?  ...

When using the shortcut Ctrl+F to find a song in the playlist, sometimes it will show nothing because you are not on top of the list.    Would be great to implement that when using Ctrl+F, is would do the equivalent of the "home" key on the keyboardto bring you to the top so you can actually see the results of your search. ...

If I drag an album into a playlist folder, an entry is made which puts the album title first, then the usual em-dash and then the artist name.   Because there's no way to sort or create nested lists in the Artists or Albums sections, I use playlists and playlist folders to organize music by category, by month, by family member, and sometimes as a to-do list. Having new entries show up as an album called The Beatles by a band called Revolver becomes exhausting if I'm browsing for new music and setting aside things I want to listen to later, so I usually do it the other way: right click the album entry, then add it as a new playlist from the drop-down menus.   Here is where it becomes even more obnoxious. Because if I already have that album in some other folder, the artist is now The Beatles, but the album is Revolver 2. Occasionally this will even happen with a brand new release. I have yet to figure out what causes the system to think it's creating a duplicate in this scenario, but it happens pretty regularly.   It gets weirder. If I have an album called Anthology 2, the duplicate is named Anthology 2 2. If I make yet another duplicate, it comes out as Anthology 2 2 again. It never adds a 3 or a 4, or an extra 2. Far from being a system for (unnecessarily) avoiding duplicate playlist names, this behavior sometimes creates them. What is causing this?   ... 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

Please replace the heart icon with a "+" or something else when a user is trying to add an album or EP to their library. The heart has two purposes depending on the context, which makes this confusing. Here's why: Click heart on song: adds song as a "liked" song Click heart on album: adds all songs from album to Your Library These are two separate  actions so I think it would be beneficial to update the icon to make it clear that you are adding the album or EP to Your Library and not adding all of them as "liked" songs.   ...
