Where is Autoplay?

generalmotors85 — Sat, 15 Sep 2018 07:12:42 GMT

Hi,

i recently noticed that my playlists keep repeating themselves once they have reached their last songs. Usually Spotify just continued playing similar music which I really liked. I am using the desktop App on my PC and the "AutoPlay" feature in the settings seems gone, I can't find it anywhere.

Was the feature removed?

Can anyone help? Thx!

Hey @generalmotors85, welcome to the Community.

Hope you're doing great!

It seems it has been removed from the desktop apps.

You can give your support to this idea if you would like to see it back.

Hope it helps!

Oh that is unfortunate 😞

Strangely, the Repeat-Option isnt even enabled so i would expect Spotify to stop playing once the playlist is through. Maybe that is a bug? Although that is unrelated to the removed autoplay-function... 😞

Hey @generalmotors85,

The Loop/Repeat option is still there 🙂

Maybe a clean install would help if it isn't there for you.

Yes if that option won't be enabled the playlist just will end.

Hope it helps 🙂

I know that the Loop/Repeat option is still there, but i have disabled it on purpose. Yet, Spotify keeps repeating the playlist instead of just stopping at the end.

Why on earth was it removed in the first place?

This was absolutely a good feature and should not have been removed.

Some answers about why it was removed would be nice.

They will never answer your questions.

Your only recourse is to use a different music streaming service.

I have the same problem, and was in contact with SpotifyCares on Facebook about it. They said they worked on a solution, which would be coming soon, but it hasnt. I think its a great feature, but it seems to have been taken away for some reason.

Those guys at Spotify are very good at removing the most useful features (e.g. Spotify Running). **bleep**.

This is not a solution at all...

Why this option have been removed from Desktop App at first place? Is it a bug, isn't it?

Should I expect to have it removed on Mobile as well?

Hey there @glitchwizard,

Thanks for posting in the community!

As mentioned in the Ongoing Issue report, the Autoplay feature was temporarily removed for internal investigation from our teams. Apologies for the inconvenience, it should be re-enabled soon. For more details and to keep updated, we'd recommend heading here and +VOTE.

Hope this sheds some light 🙂

haha yes, I'm aware of that, I was asking about why did it need
investigating? Or are you not willing to share that information?

I do appreciate the reply.

most probably im not smart enough to understand decisions like this...

instead of fixing eternal bugs and problems ,you're removing features.
