How do I go to the playlist of currently playing song on the Web interface?

Sat, 06 Apr 2024 14:35:38 GMT

So I am jamming a playlist and leave to say the home page, usually if you click on the icon on the bottom left part of the screen of the currently playing song, you'd be taken right back to the currently playing playlist. But for some reasons that doesn't work anymore, all it does it just expand and collapse the right pane.
PS. I am using the player on my web browser.

Hey there,

Thank you for reaching out to the Community and welcome.

In the desktop app, this functionality is still available, but it's located somewhere else. When you click on the album artwork in the bottom-left corner of the app, it will open the Now Playing View in the right panel. If you click the playlist title above the enhanced artwork in that panel, it will lead you to the position of the currently playing song within the playlist. If possible, we'd recommend using the desktop app instead of the Web Player for this functionality.

However, we're checking this internally to see if the functionality should be available on the Web Player as well or not. So we'll let you know as soon as we get more info about it.

We appreciate your report. Stay tuned!

Hi, this doesn't work for me in the desktop app. If i click on the playlist title it takes me to the playlist, but not to the current playing song?

Regards Linus

Hey @LinusNoren,

Thanks for getting back to us.

On our end, when using the Desktop app it takes us to the position of the song playing within the playlist. Could you check to see if you are running the latest Spotify version, and update it if not on the latest version. It is also worth clearing your cached files, note that that will delete your saved music so you will have to re-download your titles.

Hope this helps out, keep us posted.

Hi Martin,

I'm using the latest version and have cleared the cache but it doesn't help. I also noticed that this is only a problem in my Liked Songs playlist. The other playlists works as intended.

Regards Linus

Thanks for the response, @LinusNoren!

We tested with the Liked Songs playlist and currently when clicking on the playlist name in the Now Playing View on the right side, it does lead you to the Liked Songs playlist itself, but not to the song that's playing in it. We're always looking for ways to improve and offer better functions so thanks for sharing this with us.

It's worth mentioning that you can click on the song name in the Now Playing View panel and it will open it for you.

We're here if there's anything else you're wondering about 🙂

'Jump to song in playlist' option

On/from the "playing from" page, it'd be helpful to have the option to display/jump to that specific song in playlist. Yeah? 🤷🏻‍♀️

Now you can't get to the playlist at all?! Very strange for such an obvious feature.

Autoplaying videos everywhere, stuffing podcasts in my face even if I don't care about those at all to be paywalled by a global corporation and the very basic feature of just starting a song radio and not being able to get back to it the second you navigate away or switch devices while listening. Spotify is actively trying to make me dislike it. 😞 They could up the prices again while they're at it, so I get more reasons to look for an alternative.

Please bring back the old view as an option(current queue in the center screen). you can see, a lot of people still prefer that over the new version.

As mentioned here, it works if you click the playlist name in the now playing panel. Not very intuitive, but at least it's possible to get to the currently playing song in it's playlist.

How is spotify the main app? The UX is horrendous.
I can click ont an album cover, a title and an artist.
All go to seperate views. NONE goes to the current playlist.

Show me a list with all the songs in a playlist, go to the current playing song, make it visibly different.
Thats it! Why is that so hard?

But no we need more podcasts and dumb muricans on our homescreen or ffing video's or other nonsense, just ignore the core functionality.

Ps not sure why im commenting since spotify developers ignored their users since forever
