Nobody has the time for music videos in 2023. Let's be real. Thats only something for fans

Why is everybody so busy they don't have time to watch a video?

Can we get lossless quality audio first?

YouTube Music >>>>

Would be great actually

… people don’t use it for MVs because they can’t, it’s not an offered feature hence this thread :skull: 

Well duh but people have YouTube for that. 

 

People use Spotify/AM because they like to listen to music while they are doing other stuff (working, exercising, driving or simply lying on bed while chatting/using social media), which is something that YouTube doesn't offer unless you subscribe to premium.

 

I just think it's pointless but good for those who will use it I guess.

This would actually be a great tool, it could be like a dial where you can speed up/slow down a song as much as you want. They should also release tools where you could customize a song's bass, reverb, and pitch to your liking too. I doubt they'll do it, though. 

Been dreaming of this for years.

It does feel unintuitive to switch to youtube just for a music video so an option where you can click to watch a song's music video while on spotify could definitely pull in.

Apple Music already does this :giraffe:

Idk if it will smash but I'm here for the idea!

It's a nice idea but people don't spend significant time using the Spotify app beyond switching playlists/songs/etc. Now if artists started premiering their videos on TikTok then we might see music videos start becoming actual events again.

 

I was actually just thinking this last night when someone uploaded Avril's I'm with You video and it came up on my fyp and it had like 60k likes in a few hours. If that was a brand new music video with an algorithmic push it could be a smash. But I don't think Billboard would incorporate those views into their charts so it's unlikely to be something labels would rush to do.

 

A video would reach more eyes in a short period of time but repeat viewing over long periods of time wouldn't really be a thing because that's not the nature of the app. But the exposure might lead people to stream it on Spotify or seek it out on YouTube if it was a really good video.

Lol good point I never watch them on there but that’s because it’s a terribly designed app. I like YouTube more for MVs. Anything that encourages this art form to stay alive in the 2020’s and beyond is good by me.

I'm afraid it'll just make the app more glitchy. :doc:

I think it's a cool idea. Sure, like 75% of users won't use the feature, but for the 25% that do, it will be awesome. I'm sure they'd put some spin on it too like exclusive only on Spotify for the first 24 hours. That could increase a song's streams a lot depending on the artist. Plus people are genuinely too lazy to leave the app they're on to go YouTube to watch a video, so if it was all in Spotify, I do think video streams would be higher than YouTube streams.

I HOPE SO! it was only reason why I used Apple Music back in the days since most MV ain't on youtube

 

Here to watch Allday Music Videos all day everyday :duca:

These are not needed but if that means I can listen to the audio of Circus music video version, then I’m onboard.

i can already see certain fanbases abusing the speed up feature to get more streams in 24 hours :eli:

honestly I feel like this would somewhat revive interest in music videos if you weren't bombarded with ads every time you want to watch one (like on Youtube)

 

having music video premieres on spotify / apple music would be interesting to see 

Posted

I guess so.  They tried vertical videos (pseudo videos) and that flopped horribly.  So we shall see.

Try to make everything available worldwide before MV please.

When Spotify testing the water by releasing Renaissance visuals :jonny:

 

Tidal, you will never be famous!

You'll still have all that functionality + the ability to see the video. Spotify already offers synchronized lyrics which requires you to actually look at the screen.

 

Plus it will help them compete with other streaming services better, all of them already offer music videos. Apple Music even funds music videos to push their platform. That could be great for artists if it gains popularity.

 

There's literally no downside to this

I only want to browse my artists A-Z. Can't they just bring back that feature?
