- Work on our iPhones<br />
- Allow us to shuffle from every playlist I&#8217;ve made<br />
- Look at a track we like already and recommend  more<br />
- Personally, I&#8217;ve been going like a fat kid in a blind man&#8217;s sweet shop. Every album I see on a search is added to the playlists. But now there&#8217;s a huge really rubbish text-list of music. Give me Horizontal space and graphics!<br />
- Bring back the whistling Direct gov and the Energy Saving Trust ads</p>
<p><a href="http://techslant.com"><img src="http://techslant.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/itunes.jpg" alt="iTunes logo" width="112" height="108" /></a></p>
<p>So basically make it more like a free iTunes&#8230; please <img src='http://www.thoughtden.co.uk/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="https://www.spotify.com/"><img class="alignnone size-thumbnail wp-image-250" title="Spotify logo" src="http://www.thoughtden.co.uk/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/spotify_logo-150x150.jpg" alt="Spotify logo" width="150" height="150" /></a></p>
<p><strong>Dear Spotify,</strong></p>
<p>I love the app. But imagine being presented a plate of all the lovely cakes in the world under a big dark cloth (#272727 to be precise), and the only way to get them is to tell the butler which one first. It&#8217;s difficult to start scoffing&#8217;, because,<br />
a. the butler doesn&#8217;t know you yet<br />
b. I don&#8217;t know all the cakes in the world and can&#8217;t see them under the cloth<br />
c. to go look in my cake cupboard for all the cakes I already like will take ages and isn&#8217;t worth it<br />
d. mmmm cake<span id="more-249"></span></p>
<p>From the first time I loaded up the app, I would have loved a box or a tab to help you start finding all the music you dream of. Except it&#8217;s a bit of a bottleneck to expect people to find all my best music through a text search box. Music means so much more than can be expressed through text and I&#8217;d of loved some big buttons to help me go explore. I&#8217;d of loved something to transfer all my music choices from previous players so I didn&#8217;t feel the music I&#8217;ve been buying for 5years or so hasn&#8217;t been wasted&#8230;</p>
<p>It would be great if there were more tabs to help inspire what music you&#8217;d like to find. Like,</p>
<p>- &#8216;Import&#8217; your iTunes Playlist<br />
- A genius device (finds similar music)<br />
- Changing hourly recommended or random songs<br />
- Featured Artists<br />
- Use Latitude to discover what music people are listening to around you! (that would be cool, privacy nightmare, but cool!) We could build that at Thought Den.</p>
<p>That way I wouldn&#8217;t have spent my first few precious days deciding if I liked Spotify only listening to French rock, razorlight and the energy saving trust.</p>
<p>I love the app.</p>
<p>Thanks,</p>
