My Question or Issue

Where is the browse all section on windows desktop? The one that lists a ton of genres and the actual made for you section? It used to appear when you click search, and it's not gone entirely. It shows up on mobile if you click search.

Was it moved somewhere? If so, you've made it impossible to find.

If it's gone, why are you removing the only real way to browse Spotify playlists from desktop entirely?

All I get are the sections on the home page that suck that I can't dismiss or give feedback on, and have not changed in damn near a year. The made for you section is reduced to just the daily mixes that I never listen too because it constantly picks artist I don't care to listen to. The Podcasts section is half full of the recent episodes of podcasts I listened to one time several years ago. Those are all the Spotify playlists I can browse without typing into search.

Unless I happen to remember what arbitrary name you've chosen for one of the niche mixes, I have to get up and go find my phone just so I can type it into search on my desktop. Or am I just supposed to intuitively know that the genre Spotify has designated for what I wanted to listen to is 'Goblincore mix'

Is this what you intended? Why make all these playlists and then make them impossible to find on an entire platform?

Hey @florastiel,

Thank you for reaching out to the Community and welcome.

The "Browse all" section is still available when selecting the search button on the top of the app. When you enter something in the Search bar, it'll give you the following options:

There, you'll be able to choose the "All" option.

Also the "Made For You" section still has a catalog where you can find Genre mixes, Artists mixes and more. You just need to click on this icon .

If you're not seeing these sections in your app, it could be related to some damaged cache stored on your device. In this case, we'd first recommend performing a clean reinstall of the app by following the steps in this article.

If the issue persists, include in your next response the Spotify version you're currently running to continue investigating the case.

We'll be on the lookout.
