I love Spotify. I use it every day, and have many playlists (both collaborative and private). I’m a Premium subscriber too, and can thoroughly justify spending £10 a month for all the music.

But.

Spotify is lacking some real key features in my opinion. So, I thought I’d share:

  1. Sorting – At the moment, my playlists are all over the place. Just a simple “Sort by…” feature would be cool. Alphabetically would do the job a treat
  2. Downloaded tracks – Ok, so when I’m driving, I like to play my downloaded tracks instead of cocking about with weak 3g signals and so on. But, I’m limited to one playlist. Ideally, I’d like to be able to shuffle all my “downloaded” songs, or make a playlist on-the-fly from said downloaded songs.
  3. Add entire album to playlist on iPhone. In the main app, I can drag an album on to “new playlist” and it’ll save (duh) as a new playlist, titled nicely. I’d like to do that on my iPhone too, really :)
  4. Play in the background!!!! I know this is an Apple restriction, but I think (and hope) its only a matter of time before I can load Spotify AND text people. Really, Apple should just let go…..

That’s it for now, there will be more I’m sure!
