[All Platforms][Your Library] Increase maximum Songs allowed in Your Music

[takingbackbenny]

I feel like the maximum amount of songs allowed in one playlist, and subsequently in "Songs" playlist under the new "Collections" feature, should be more than 10,000.

Quite frankly it should be unlimited. 

We are paying for a service but limited on how many songs we are able to save? That is absurd to me.

I recently started saving all of my albums into "Collections" and got stuck at about 1/4 of the way through - 10,000 songs has been reached and I am no longer able to save any more albums.

PLEASE INCREASE MAX NUMBER OF SONGS IN COLLECTION FEATURE!!!

WHAT IS A COLLECTION IF YOU HAVE TO LIMIT YOUR TASTE???

Yeah, one of my friends already cancelled it too when I told him that there was this limit.

I think that only 10 % of Spotify customers are near limit...

Don't try to explain what's happening here. It's like a battlefield!

Yup, I'm with Deezer at the moment and was about to upgrade my spotify to premium as i qualify for the 50% off student offer. However, this 10,000 song limit would totally ruin my experience. so I think I'll stay put. Rather pay twice as much for something that works in the long run. The 'your music' feature looks nice and everything, but the 'starred' system is simply more robust.

Hm, only 10% of users are approaching the limit? That's still about 4 million users, of those 800,000 are premium subscribers (assuming free and premium users are equally likely to have a large saved library, in reality this will probably be more biased towards premium). I think spotify would notice if they packed up and left.

I think it's totally absurd that you would cap the playlists or songs of someone that pays you 10eu per month! Remove it ASAP please, or I will have to look for an alternative.

I hit the limit the week i started saving albums, already working on finding everything on Rdio. Unless Spotify actually starts listening to the customers who are vocal about things that need to be fixed.

Fortunately, I hit the 10,000 song limit in My Music before my first paid month. I'll be cancelling until Spotify allows unlimited albums in the collection. I couldn't care less about the Playlist length, but this limit on My Music collection size is just stupid.

[sgtgrash]

I have just hit the 10,000 track limit, this is utterly ludicrous, C'mon Spotify sort it out guys or you are likely to hemorrhage subscribers, I am currently assessing rival services although I'd rather stay with Spoti if this issue can be fixed...

[Vervs]

Ah, so now I understand why some songs I thought I saved I've saved a long time ago won't show up in the my songs library anymore. It would be nice if the limit gets removed.

Little update on my previous post - It is possible to semi-bypass this issue by simply 'Following' artists instead of saving albums by them. (not that we should have to find a way to beat the system. This way we can add an artist to 'My Music' without having to save any actual songs by them.

The problems with this are as follows:

1) It is an extra step to get to a page to view the albums by the artist, a competely unnecessary step at that. Suggesting that we are nitpicking for having to take an extra few seconds to get to the music we want will not be an acceptable response - the point of the interface is to be as efficient as possible.

2) There is now little point in having the tabs for 'Songs' and 'Albums' seeing as we'll following (bookmarking) the artists only. In theory... Which leads me to my next point...

3) The 'Follow' feature is bugged. Not everyone I follow shows up in 'My Music'. If you're going cap our saved songs, you must fix this alternative way of saving artists if you hope to still keep up the illusion that we're building a music collection. The only way to get these artists to show up in 'My Music' is to save some material by them. This means that our tabs for 'Albums' and 'Songs' ends up as a disjointed, partial selection of things we have been forced to save to compensate for a bug, mixed in with stuff we've deliberately saved.

4) Following an artist means that we get a feed of social information on the bar to the right of the Spotify window, showing what they're listening to, and playlists they have created or added to. Because I have had to follow artists to get around the cap (and I've had to do this for LOTS of artists) this bar is constantly flooded with many things I don't care about, instead of things my actual personal friends are listening to.

5) We are able to access all 20 million+ songs on Spotify at any time anyway, so there is no point in setting a limit to what we ourselves can bookmark. Stating that there's no point bookmarking if we can get to it anyway is not an acceptable response to this issue.

6) The fact that we have to do this at all suggests the cap is merely an oversight left over from before we were able to save music to a 'library'. All that's happening is that the alternative to saving individual albums is very inefficient - something which an app that looks as smart as Spotify should be avoiding.

I repeat: Spotify, please clarify your position on this issue. Frustrated at being ignored, we find ourselves speculating things that do not cast you in a favourable light as there has been precisely nothing said to confirm or deny that the 10,000 cap is in some way intended to limit our consumption of the paid service. This is hopefully conjecture. So what's the situation?
