This is a poorly titled HN submission. This isn't what's happened, if you read the post - A user asked about being able to do this. Spotify claimed it isn't currently a feature, however they have a feature request that the requester can add their voice to if so inclined.
HN title is incorrect and clickbait. Spotify hasn't refused at all. They don't say anything, but a non-employee specifically links to a page where people can upvote the idea to help get it implemented. Flagged because there is nothing of value for HN here, this is just a random feature request.
Sure sure, they haven't refused at all, the feature request has more than 7 months and but they just haven't read it, you people I swear.
It’s a textbook Feature Factory [1].
I don’t think anybody asked for all the features they have crammed in, right up to the point where it’s playing videos like a wannabe YouTube client.
When I know my machine is going to need CPU resources and I don’t want to work with the sound of the fan, I load up a lightweight FLAC player instead.
[1] …a term that is apparently annoying to Agile enthusiasts… Good!

That's just how product forums work.
Earlier quoted context omitted.

Spotify has probably thousands of feature requests that have been up on their forums for years, that they haven't given an official response to. That's just how product forums work.
