Spotify Music Sharing Hub

Anaïs Cramazou

About:
Introducing the Music Sharing Hub, a new addition to the Spotify app that harmoniously blends music and social interaction. Seamlessly integrated into the Spotify experience, this hub is your gateway to a vibrant world of musical connections. Engage with friends through real-time notifications, tag them in comments, and even strike up music-focused conversations with a built-in chat feature. The Music Sharing Hub is where music meets community, all while staying true to Spotify's signature design aesthetic.
Goal:
To enhance user engagement and foster a sense of community within the Spotify desktop app, can the implementation of the Music Sharing Hub feature effectively facilitate seamless music-related interactions among users while maintaining a consistent and intuitive user experience?
Research:
What the current Spotify app does not yet achieve:
Facilitate Social Music Discovery: Spotify, as it stands, primarily focuses on personalized music recommendations. The Music Sharing Hub will enable users to discover music through their friends and followers, introducing a social dimension to music discovery.
Real-Time Music Engagement: Spotify lacks real-time interactions among users. The Music Sharing Hub will provide features like real-time notifications for likes and comments, fostering instant engagement around shared music.
Integrated Messaging and Music Sharing: While users can share songs on Spotify, it doesn't offer integrated messaging features. The Music Sharing Hub will seamlessly integrate music sharing and conversations, allowing users to discuss and share music within the platform.
Solution:
What this Music Sharing Hub enables:
Seamless Music Sharing: Users can effortlessly share their favorite songs, albums, and playlists directly from their library to the Activity Feed, making it simple to express their musical tastes with friends and followers.
Social Music Discovery: Discover new music and artists based on the shared preferences of friends and followers. The Music Sharing Hub helps users expand their musical horizons by connecting them with like-minded music enthusiasts.
Real-Time Social Interaction: Engage in real-time interactions with friends and followers through likes, comments, and shares on music-related activities. Stay connected and have meaningful conversations centered around music.
Personalized Music Feed: The Activity Feed offers a chronological display of music-related activities from friends and followed users, ensuring that users stay updated with the latest musical journeys and discoveries within their network.
User Profile Customization: Personalize your Music Sharing Hub profile with a cover image, bio, and favorite genres, allowing users to express their unique musical identity.
Notifications and Messaging: Receive real-time notifications for interactions such as comments and likes. Engage in music-focused conversations with friends through integrated chat features.
Cross-Platform Sharing: Seamlessly integrate the Music Sharing Hub with popular messaging apps, allowing users to share music and updates directly in their conversations with friends beyond the Spotify platform.
