How do I view my list of songs for an artist instead of their discography?

How do I view my list of songs for an artist instead of their discography? I've added the 7 Bowie songs I like to my library by clicking the heart icon, however when I search for Bowie in my library, all I see is his Popular tracks followed by his entire discography.

Is making a playlist the only way? Crowding out my mixed-artist playlists to create one for each artist is a burdensome experience and I am surprised that Spotify doesn't have this feature (I'm new). Google Music used to have it before it was discontinued. Is there another streaming service that does allow this without making a playlist?

Hi there @GoldenRock,

Thanks for the post and welcome to the Community!

On your Mobile app, you can see what songs you've liked from each artist you follow like this:

Click on Your Library.
Click on Artists from the buttons on the top (You can see "Playlists", "Podcasts & Shows" and you need to scroll to the left to reveal the other sorting options).
You'll see a list of artists where you can click on your targeted artist, like David Bowie.
Once you open their artist profile, you'll see how many Liked songs you have from them.

Alternatively, you can search for the artist to access their profile, from where you can see the songs you have liked from them.

Hope this helps 🙂

Thank you, this works on the app but not on the website where I don't see the "Liked Songs" option on the artist's page. How do I get it working on the website?

Hi @GoldenRock!

This section is not currently available on the Web Player, but you can find it in the desktop app, above the Discography section:

If possible, I'd recommend using the desktop app instead, as it offers more features compared to the Web Player. You can download it here.

The Community is always here if you need assistance with anything else.

Cheers!

Hi there,

when will it be available in the Web Player again? It used to be and is a very important feature to me

Favorite tracks on artist's page

I want to listen songs by the artist "John Doe" added in "favorite songs" playlist.

It would be great to have something like a

playlist search feature

or a "favorite songs" button (I think it should be located in the "more-button" context menu) on the artist's page.

Favorite songs by artist (avoid creating playlist in library)

I have created many playlists only for one artist (Best of), containing only songs by that artist. My library is much too big.

It would be much easier if you could mark songs and add them to a new category (“Favorite songs by artist”) so that you can call up these songs specifically. This would mean you no longer need to create an own playlist. You would only need laylists for different artists or playlists for sharing and so on.

System would only allow adding songs to that "function" if the songs belongs to the same artist.

It's a kind of background playlist per artist created automatically and not in the library directly.

The library would then also be smaller and clearer. Deselecting songs from the “Favorite Songs Artist” list would then also be easy to do using the same function.
