Spotify Blend: Can't manually add songs

The-10 — Tue, 05 Dec 2023 20:35:05 GMT

Me and a friend are using android, both clients up to date.
The friend has premium but I have a free account.
They can add add songs manually to blends, while I cannot.
Is the expected behavior?
It doesn't make sense to make someone pay to add songs manually to blends.
Or is this a roll-out feature?
And if so, why do premium users get it first and not just randomly select users like me? (I tried the desktop site on a mobile device out of desperation and to not avail.)

I am runnand Android 8.1.0

Hi,

I don't think users should be able to manually add songs to a Blend. Are you sure it's a Blend, or just a playlist with you invited as a collaborator?

Oh, yes.
A another friend tested and was able to manually add songs to a blend.
Desktop app can't do this so must be something on mobile I'm not getting?
I don't know why I still can't do it.
And yes, I'm sure its a blend.

Hey @The-10,

@kaworu_bloodpaw is correct. Blends are auto-generated and nobody can add any songs to them manually.
What you might be looking for is the Collaborative Playlist option 🙂

Let us know if any questions arise 🙌🏼
Thanks a lot and happy holidays!

Both me and friends were able to add to blends in the past. (NOT collab playlists, *blends*.) I can no longer do so, but my friend quite literally just took one of our past blends and added an entire list of new songs, while I'm unable to edit it. I have collab playlists as well, which are *also* experiencing issues with allowing collaborators to edit.

Solution found! Confirmed: blends are STILL editable. This thread had me thinking it was some discontinued feature. I was having trouble because my desktop app didn't have the most recent update. On my updated mobile app, I can add to old blends now. (As can my friends). I can even change the name from the standard "username + username blend" format.

In the playlist itself, there is an ad button.
This apparently was a rollout, because now I have it too.
You must be running the latest version of the app however, in order to find it.

Hey there,

Thanks for reaching out!

@Dr1gsmoney - just to confirm, do you notice any difference after clearing stored cache? Once it's done, try logging out from the app and then back in again. This should resync your account info.

If that doesn't do the trick, can you let us know what device and operating system version you're using, along with the Spotify version? Also, could you check if the Blend appears in the same way on other devices that you use Spotify on?

Let us know how you get on.

I can confirm it’s possible to add songs into a friend’s blend, I'm not able to do so but my ex were able to do but she left the blend so I can't show it anymore lol

Hi, folks,

Manually adding songs to a Blend should now be possible on the mobile app - just make sure you're running the latest version of Spotify available.

The "Add to this playlist" button is located at the top, just above the list of songs:

Cheers 🤘
