[Mobile] Blind people - Shake Phone for getting the next song

[Andy-Meier]

1. It would be so much easyer for our blind son to get to the next song if he could simply shake the phone for that. Just make a toggle on/off for this function to prevent misfunction when people sports (jogging,…).

It would be great to get the shake-for-next-function on spotify.

Is there a way to create an accessibility shortcut to do this? (Like IG)

great idea 

[Andy-Meier]

great idea but there is no option for „next song“.

if you think the idea of shaking is good, please vote for it.

spotify closes all ideas when there are less then 50 votes in a year.

 thanks!

[yetitears]

I definitely will. 🙏

[Andy-Meier]

perfect but the vote-section is above 🙂

[yetitears]

What’s a good way to get others to vote on it here?

[Andy-Meier]

unfortunately i have no idea…. 😞

but thankful if you have one 🙂

[yetitears]

Hmmm…

maybe a few steps but

if you find others and build a community of similar folk by posting questions in the MUSIC DISCUSSION and Social and Random tags

maybe like “Best music for blind people”… “how do you find music” (etc on topics) then it’ll allow you to engage w people that would love to vote it up

could take a few weeks but it should work 

community always works ☺️
