[All Platforms][Playlists] Option to see popular playlists a song appears on

I really would love to see the ability to right click on a song and see which public playlists it appears on. After listening to the radio for on of my genres for a couple of days I'm tired of spotify's suggestions and would like to see what other people think as far as what songs are similar to the selected song.

[All Platforms][Your Music] Your own spofity playlist`s on CD

Hello, i have a wonderful idea for all. When you drive with your car and you don't have an USB hub in your car you can need an CD with your playlist's in copy. So please Spotify, can you paste a function where we can burn our playlist's on a CD. Only for premium Users! Best regards from Germany - reaperfist

[All Platforms][Social] Social Features in collaborative playlists

The friends I grew up with and I have just started adding songs in to a collaborative playlist. We share a great deal in common and music was something we shared strongly. The problem is that there is no engagement on the playlist. We have spoken about the playlist a lot on whatsapp and have been talking about each others suggestions, but there is no way to discuss or engage with spotify. I would suggest that even a like button for the songs would be a good start, so a friend adds a song to a playlist I like, I would like to be able to show that without having to discuss in a different medium. Upvotes and down votes, as well as skipped tracks would be a great way to keep on top of what people are enjoying and not. Also comments or a small forum attached to the playlist would create a place that we could truly engage with the music and each other. It just seems a shame that when I am using the app, I have to leave it, or use a completely different device to actually discuss this with the people I am sharing with. Thanks for reading Chris

[All Platforms][Social] Option to Restrict Inbox Messages to Friends Only (because f*** spam)

As of late, Spotify has a burgeoning spam issue. I will receive 2-3 spam messages a day in my desktop app inbox. I continue to block all of these bots, but new ones pop up daily. To mitigate this, we should have the option to block all communication except from those we follow, or those who follow us. Some bots automatically follow and then begin to send messages, but this could be prevented by also allowing an option to privatize your account such that new followers must be approved - a la Instragram, Facebook, etc. Thanks!!

I am using iPhone 5. I have a smart playlist that shows the 25 most play songs within the last 3 months. However, the list on my phone got completely messed up. Please help me.

I am using iPhone 5. I have a smart playlist that shows the 25 most play songs within the last 3 months. However, the list on my phone got completely messed up. Please help me.

First thought: Have you used the same Apple ID for all the purchases you're talking about? If not, that could cause an issue.
Assuming you've used the same Apple ID all the way through everything you're talking about, here's the second set of questions:
When you say you can't play the songs from the iPhone playlist, can you see the playlist on the iPhone? Is the song visible in the playlist? Is it visible under "Songs" in iTunes on your iPhone? Is it visible in "Albums" on your iPhone? Is the song in iCloud?

Turn off show all music; extra songs appear in iPhone library; unable to delete

I turn ON 'show all music', then download a couple more songs I want from iCloud to expand my iPhone5 library. Then I turn 'show all music' back OFF and a myriad of other songs appear in my library that I did not want downloded to my phone (nor did I select from the cloud) and I am unable to delete them from the library...
This sounds like a glitch with the iOS 7.0.4 as I am unable to find a similar solution in the community other than "delete all your music and start over..." which is not the route I'd like to take. If there are other remedies out there, please help! Apple, if you're listening, please fix! I have over 750 songs in the cloud!

Items with the Cloud icon are not on your phone. They are items that have been purchased previously but have since been deleted. You can download them again by tapping the Cloud icon.

[All Platforms][Playlists] Please restore View as Album List feature

View as Album List was a great feature. Based on comments I have seen on other forums, I am not the only one who thinks so. Please restore this feature. Reasons:1) Images are much easier to see than text. I have reached the age of reading glasses. Before this feature was removed, I could easily find songs / albums in playlists. Now I have to find my glasses beforehand! 2) Images are much more compelling and attractive than text. A picture tells a thousand words etc. The whole look and feel of Spotify is enhanced through the use of album images. Removing them seems like going against good user experience practice. 3) Nostalgia. Although I love Spotify and I firmly believe that subscription is the future of music, I still feel some nostalgia for "possessing" a collection of albums. Displaying album covers reinforces the feeling of having a collection of albums in a playlist. Note that all three arguments apply equally to desktop and iPad versions of Spotify. November 2013: Response to the comments from Spotify...- There is no need for a cmd+G control. All playlists should always display the album cover.- The Collections product was announced almost a year ago but there is no sign of it.- A Collections product that simply displays the thousands of albums that I have ever listened to is not a viable solution in my opinion. I would need multiple collections (i.e.. playlists). May-2014I have created a new idea http://community.spotify.com/t5/Spotify-Ideas/Display-Album-Cover-on-Your-Music-Songs/idi-p/791029 requesting cover art on your music (and playlists). Please give it your kudos. July 2015I note that Apple Music displays album art on playlists on all platforms.

Again - We shouldn't have to vote about stuff like this. Of course there should be an album list. And it should also be obvious how to enable it, not just with a keyboard command or obscure menu option. Also - please consider an album view in the mobile apps as well. I have a lot of playlists with just albums, and they are a pain in the ass to use on the Iphone / Ipad.

[All Platforms][Playlists] Play count and play history for songs to create personal charts

Hi guys, I switched from iTunes to Spotify about a year ago and I really do like the service. Lately I checked out Apple Music and in comparison Spotify still kicks ass. However, it was incredible to have access to all of my old iTunes playlists again. Why? Because I created playlists with my personal charts, meaning intelligent playlists which sort songs by play count. I would love to see this feature in Spotify. Additionally you could also track when a song has been played, so I could create a playlist which lists my favorite songs from a specific time frame. Best wishesDominik

Sup man! I made the switch from iTunes about 3 years ago, but I have never gone back. Especially since I have a $5 / mo deal for Spotify premium for students, so premium is sick to use on the computer and transfer music painlessly to your electronic device. Cool stuff. Also, the algorithms that Spotify employs have unique shuffling programs implemented internally. They get numerous complaints about similar songs/artists playing in close sequence to one another. When this would happen (the original random number generator would obviously play the same artist within 3-4 songs because of pure chance and logistics), so they implemented a different algorithm as a fix. The new algorithm implemented a fix for this complaint (which was considered to be along the lines of the gambler’s fallacy theory… but that’s another long explanations) so that people wouldn’t complain as much. This switch happened within the past year, so people are just starting to notice how the shuffle feature has “improved”. This whole thing brings on the discussion of “what truly is random?” when it comes to the world of random number generators and the gambler’s fallacy. If you want to check out my Spotify playlists, my acct is: chrisheishman and my most popular playlist actually is “acoustic indie mix” with about 400+ songs and 200+ followers. You should check it out! Cheers & good luck with your music journey! Chris

Can I see what Playlist my song is in by holding Option

I just read in Mac Life mag that using Address Book I can hold the option key and see what groups a contact is in - they are highlighted in Yellow. Cool, so how can I see what Playlist my Song is in using iTunes? I bet this would be a fantastic feature and one millions of people would welcome. What do you say - is there a way? A secret way?

Hi John,
Control click the track/Show in Playlist. Might be able to right click also depending on your mouse.

[All Platforms][Discover] Playlist discovery

One simple but pretty cool discovery feature I would like to see is if you could go to a artist and see which popular playlists that artist belonged to. Like an tab for Appears on Playlists or something. It would be a great way of discovering new user playlists

This would be great !

[All Platforms][Playlists] Dynamic playlist formed by two or more playlists

Hi, I like to organize my favorite songs mainly in playlists of the same genre. However, if I want at some point to listen to songs of both genres A and B, I need to create a new playlist with all the songs from these two genres, and also keep at least two different lists up to date whenever I need to add or remove any songs. I'd like to create a "dynamic" playlist, defined in terms of other playlists (and possibly some custom songs). For example, I'd like to be able to create a new playlist called "Study" which is formed by any the songs at playlists "Classic" and "Games", plus any other songs specifically added to "Study".

[All Platforms][Search] Show the playlists a track appears in

One of the things I love about Spotify is the ability to discover new music. While Radio is good for this, I often want to search for playlists that contain the song I'm interested in to see what other similar songs users have paired with it. Currently, search seems to return just the playlists that share a title with the search words, but it would be good to scan through playlists to include "featured in" as well.

I can't see my playlists on the iPod nano (7th generation)

I can’t see my playlists on the iPod nano (7th generation), but I can see and play them on the iTunes on my laptop. What do I do?

Hi lone_dreamr,
This is going to depend on how you are syncing music to your iPod nano. If you are automatically syncing, what option do you have selected in this menu? (Entire music library, or Selected content)
You may want to uncheck the "Sync Music" box, apply the changes, then recheck the box, and apply the changes once more. This will instruct iTunes to completely remove all music from your iPod, and then copy the files once more. If you have a large amount of music, this initial sync may take a while.
If the above does not resolve your issue, see the following articles:

Thanks,

Can't see movie playlists in ATV section of iTunes

I created a playlist of home movies in iTunes 8.2.1, using ATV files made with QT Pro. The playlist has a music icon.
When I look in the ATV movie section on iTunes, I don't see the playlist as a selectable item for syncing (I'm using custom sync for all categories). I also don't see the playlist in the ATV music section. If I add the playlist to a folder, it then shows up in the music section, but can not be selected.
I'm using ATV software 2.3.1 which should have this capability. Also using OS 10.4.11, and everything else with ATV works fine, including playing the movies if they not in playlists.
Appreciate any help. Ron

Chenks-
Yes, on ATV I have "All" playlists enabled.
I upgraded to ATV 2.4 and have the same settings.
I now see that in iTunes 8.2.1, the movie section for ATV does have a choice box for sync selected, but it's either "movies" or "playlists" separately. There does not appear to be a choice for movies and playlists combined, in case I wanted to select just a couple of playlists.
It seems to be all or nothing. Is this the way it's designed? If so, I hope Apple will add another choice for movies in the next ATV or iTunes update (the way it works for music playlists & folders).
Ron
