My Question or Issue

Since a few months the spotify integration for the android alarm clock doesn't show my recently played correctly. The desktop app and the android spotify app show them correctly. (See screenshots)
Until recently my previous selection(On repeat) was kept by the app and it played that playlist every morning. Then i wanted to change up my morning music to something new and i couldn't choose other "for me" Playlists since they can't be searched for and they didn't show up in recently played. So trying to fix the latter i reinstalled the spotify app and the clock while removing the caches of both apps. Now my old selection is gone and i am stuck with "build in"/public playlists or ordinary ringtones.

Hi there @stickynuts1405,

Thanks for reaching out about this in the Community!

You should be able to Search for songs and playlists in the Google clock app.

If you're not seeing that option we'd recommend you try Logging out Everywhere and back on your phone. This will force sync your account with the servers.

From your account page you can also navigate to the Apps tab and remove access to Google clock from there. After that you should be able to re-link your Spotify account to the Google clock app.

Let us know how you get on with this.

Cheers.

Hi thanks for the reply but that did not solve my problem.
However i discovered the solution by myself.

Apparently only Playlists i listened to with the webplayer get listed.
I don't know why and i don't think i use different accounts for them.
