To be completel frank, I'm dumbfounded that this feature doesn't exist.
When I load up new music, I usually evaluate all the tracks one by one. However, I usually know during the song, or immediately after listening, whether or not I will keep that track in my collection. I think it would be a great feature to be able to just swipe to delete tracks on the fly from a playlist when looking at the actual at the track list. This would be be in addition to having the ability to go through the edit, and then mass delete songs.
This feature is currently available when deleting individual playlists, so I know the functionality exists in general, but I'm unsure of why this wasn't expanded to within the actual playlists themselves. This would turn deleting individual songs from a 4 step process (triple dots, edit, delete, delete) to just 2 steps swipe, delete. I think this not only saves time, but ultimately adds convenience to quickly delete a song vs. going through a menu process to delete an individual song.
This feature would be nice.
I don't know if it would be possible, but Spotify should add a setting you can turn on or off that will let you swipe to delete either songs or playlists.
For me I rarely delete any songs once they are put into a playlist.
This would cause a lot of "accidental deletions" for me.
I have yet to accidentally deleted a playlist with swipe though... so my statement is mixed.
I'm usually very careful, but my finger could slip.
On both the iPhone and iPad you have to currently click edit before deleting playlists or songs.
I think this is how it should be, but maybe there could be an option.
(you referenced the ability to swipe delete playlists, but I'm not seeing that now that I look closely)
There should defenitly be a way to delete a song directly when you are listening to it from the Iphone app!
Either by swiping or through a choice in the "i" menu where you for example can star the song, it's an obvious location for a delete button.
It is almost impossible to find a particular song in edit-mode if the playlist is a 1000 songs long, since Iphone does not filter by letter and disturbing to be forced to remember the name of the song until you have time to edit the playlist (if you are running/biking with spotify for example).
Now I try editing/deleting on the computer only, but I tend to listen to other playlists there (due to offline-mode) and therefore editing/deleting only songs from other playlists than those I listen to on the Iphone...
