Monthly Ideas Review - March 2014

meahtenoha

Welcome to our 17th
Spotify Ideas Review!


Every month the Community Team review our top ideas and present the ones we’ve updated in the past 30 days.

 

This month we're bringing you news for 8 ideas that total over 10,000 kudos. Yes, you heard right. 10,000 kudos.

 

We are excited to update you on these Ideas, and even more excited so many of you are coming to us with your feedback. Keep voting. And we'll keep updating. 

 

Implemented:

 

1. Show original year of album release.

 

You voted and we listened. We've now improved how we validate content thanks to your kudos and comments in this idea.

 

We've already updated nearly 50,000 albums for artists from ABBA to The Rolling Stones. You may notice some remaining content not showing an accurate original release year and we're working on improving this content in the coming months.

Watch this space:

 

 

2. Ability to delete radio stations.

 

At 3,504 kudos, "Ability to Delete Radio Stations" is our second most popular idea. We listened. And it's on the way.

 

In March we released a new Android update with the ability to delete radio stations (0.7.8). Just do a long hold on the station and select 'Delete station'. Keep an eye on that idea for updates on this feature in other clients.

3. Implement an actual Shuffle function.

 

If you've noticed a change in your shuffle function lately, it's thanks to the 873 Kudos from our users

 

After collecting feedback from you guys, we set to work implementing a better shuffling algorithm that avoids playing a couple songs from an artist too close together.

Check out the blog post by LukasP here to learn more. 

 

This has already been implemented in Desktop and the other clients will follow shortly--so watch this space. 

 

 


 

As you may have heard, Spotify's got a new look. We've introduced a darker theme, refreshed typography and rounded iconography. 

 

 

 

This update means a lot of your Ideas have been updated to "Watch this Space", including: 

 

4. Spotify needs to become more album "Collection" based.

 

5. Change the white interface.

 

6. Album artwork on artist pages is too large. 

 

And we didn't stop there. We've also introduced Your Music: helping you save, organise and browse your favourite music the way you want to. All in one place, and across all platforms. For more info on these changes just click here

 

With the arrival of Your Music we were also able to mark even more Ideas as "Watch This Space"

 

 

7. Show playlist artwork on mobile.

8. Save Albums.

  

Keep the feedback coming...
