Simple redesigned option for the Now Playing screen—Spotify uses fullscreen for playback, but I wanted to simplify it a bit more.
Song Identifier
The most basic form of discovery. With this feature, Spotify can listen to your environment and identify songs, as well as if they're playing from a public playlist (in bars, Starbucks, etc.) It can also store these past searches and recommends other close matches when you search.

Drop Songs (map)
Drop songs, playlists, etc., onto the map for friends to access. These drops can be time and location-locked if you'd like and only accessible when your friend walks over the location at 7 am, for example.

Other Drop Opportunities
"What People Around You are Listening To"

Use the Drop Map to anonymously show songs dropped frequently at a location.


Spotify Collabs
Elevate the Spotify experience and create story content that allows people to feel connected to their favorite celebrities, athletes, and characters. These Spotify Drop Collaborations can mean...

Athletes drop songs throughout their favorite running routes, celebrities share their pump-up music while filming on-location, or Spotify writes content that shows what characters would listen to–What would Olivia Pope listen to at the White House? and so on.
Jukebox
Easy group queues that allow multiple people to share a queue and add songs. The feature starts by easily detecting public or friends' Jukeboxes.  Improved ML/AI within Spotify can better recommend music that matches what the Jukebox has played so far, or it can be more emotionally attuned and encourage people to share stuff they've been listening to a lot lately.
Other Jukebox Opportunities
See other friends' Jukeboxes, Instagram-story-style. One quick swipe up to see other people's Jukeboxes or perhaps old Jukeboxes from the last time you hung out. Also, I think Jukeboxes can be great even if it's only two people sharing it!

Identify songs! Your phone is listening so you might as well use its capabilities.

Drop Songs onto the Map for your friends to discover!

Thanks for looking!
