A comment on the question "Why does the Spotify Radio play music from the wrong Genre for me?" in Spotify:

I think the kicker here is the 'song by song basis' for taggin. Right now it seems like each artist is tagged with a number of genres and that all songs by that artist are each tagged by all those genres, which can be flat out wrong. – ibbles, on September 28, 2009 06:24

I agree with dannyCage. A Spotify icon in the music menu would be awesome.

Just want to say that I want a PS3 app/DNLA streaming as well, to make sure the developers put some time into this.

A comment on the idea "party mode voting for premium and day pass" in Spotify:

A fool-proof way to avoid atmosphere killing songs is to have a pre-arrenged playlist with songs that guests can vote on directly, and a separate interface/output stream (headphones) where to host can evaluate and approve songs that guests have voted for but are not on the current list of approved songs. This adds a bit of administrative work for the host thou, which was one of the things the entire discussion is about eliminating. However, the work required is less intrusive since the host can check the songs awaiting approval when it suits him/her instead of having to answer questions like "Play this song for me pleeeease :-)" immediately and it gives the host the possibility to hear the song before it is being played though the speaker. – ibbles, on August 20, 2009 09:33

A comment on the idea "party mode voting for premium and day pass" in Spotify:

This is a though one. I'm just thinking of the frustration I would experience when the music player says that I aren't allowed to listen to my music because "it isn't good enough" for this party. How do one design an algorithm that can make such decisions reliably, and how can it be tweaked by the host, whom I assume should be able to control/enforce policies on what types of music will be played on the party without having to list artists/genres explicitly. While it is possible to compare songs for similarities, I believe a more accepting manner should be used here since there are many persons with possibly very divergent music tastes present.

In addition, why would one not want some Mozart mixed in with the Tinchy Stryder songs, if requested by the party participants? – ibbles, on August 20, 2009 07:46

A comment on the idea "party mode voting for premium and day pass" in Spotify:

Alternative ways of voting is a good idea. In addition to SMS, the Spotify client could host a webpage where people with smartphones/netbooks/similar can queue songs a little easier than with SMS. Since a search on Spotify usually returns more than one song, it can take several SMS back and forth to get the wanted song. A web page, on the other hand, can give immediate feedback. – ibbles, on August 20, 2009 05:54

ibbles started following the idea "Karaoke and lyrics functionality" in Spotify.

A comment on the idea "Allow multiple logins to one premium account and use Spotify as a network radio" in Spotify:

Can someone with access to more than one computer in the same house try to create a collaborative playlist and play that on all available computers. What I wish to know is how well such a system can keep itself in synch or if an annoying echo will result. – ibbles, on August 18, 2009 14:29

A comment on the idea "party mode voting for premium and day pass" in Spotify:

And if logging in is too hard, then perhaps the party mode can be reduced to simply not allowing direct write access to any playlists and the auto song selection / voting system described in the initial post, assuming there is a way to have voting without identifying all participants. – ibbles, on August 18, 2009 12:04

A comment on the question "Does Spotify want to be open and honest?" in Spotify:

I've heard about that article too. I just want Spotify to turn out as something we all can agree on is a good thing. – ibbles, on August 18, 2009 06:12
