Direct User Suggestions

I think the Spotify app should have an option built into the menu to allow users to submit ideas, suggestions, opinions, etc directly to Spotify rather than using a forum. Give Kudos if you agree!

If one listens to music while browsing lists, one can see the player in the bar at the bottom of the app. The only control this bar offers is a pause button. I think there should be more, at least a 'next track' button. Leave Kudos if you agree.
