No more than 200 public playlists?

I have *a lot* of public playlists, but I want them all to be public. Currently spotify only displays the first 200 playlists as public. It would be good if the entire selection of public playlists could be seen.

Can't add songs to collaborative playlists on Spotify Web Player

Can't add songs to collaborative playlists on Spotify Web Player since a recent update - unless I'm missing it somehow. Either way not obvious at all. Can still do it on phone. Seems an incredibly basic thing to overlook in an update.

Cast from Android to Roku

There should be a way to cast to Roku like you can to a PlayStation. Having to search for songs with the Roku remote is too cumbersome.
