Why can't I add a song to the liked songs playlist?

GOULART22 — Thu, 23 May 2024 03:30:30 GMT

I can't add songs to any of my playlists and I can't save to liked songs either

Thanks for posting in the Community and welcome.

Would you mind sending us more details about exactly what is happening on your side? Can you locate the plus (+) button to add songs to your Liked Songs? Please send us a full description of the behavior you noticed.

Meanwhile, you can perform a clean reinstall of the app. By doing that, the app can be up-to-date and you can make sure any stored cache is not leading to this inconvenience. You can see the steps for a clean reinstall here.

On another note, it'd be awesome if you could send us the following:

Make/model and OS of the affected device.
The exact Spotify version you're running there.
We'd like to know if it's always behaved like that or if this behavior started after a specific event/update.

Keep us in the loop!

Estou com problema semelhante ao citado acima pelo colega. T

Tenho a versão Premium e não consigo mais incluir novas músicas em minhas antigas playlist!

Só a opção de incluir 'curtida' me é permitida

Hey @Darcijpr,

Thanks for posting here and welcome.

We hope you don't mind us answering in English as this is the official language of the forum.

That being said, we'd like to add some insights. Keep in mind that when you tap the (+) plus button from the Now Playing View, songs will be saved to your Liked Songs. Then, you can quickly tap the (+) plus button again to add the song to your other playlists too. When you tap the button again, you'll see the other playlists that the song has already been added to with a green ✔ Check icon. You can read more about the (+) plus button in this article.

If you cannot add songs to your other playlists in your account, you can perform a clean reinstall of the app. By doing that the app can be up-to-date and you can make sure the cache is not leading to this issue. You can follow the steps in this article to do it.

If issues should persist, it'd help us a lot if you sent us:

A full description of exactly what is happening on your side. Add as many details as possible.
Make/model and OS of the affected device.
The exact Spotify version you're running there.

Keep us in the loop!

My Question or Issue

When I try to add a song to liked songs—specifically from an artist who already has other songs currently in my liked songs playlist—it says “this song is already in liked songs”.

If anyone has any suggestions for how to get around this or has faced the same issue I would really like some help… I want to have a really beefy massive liked songs playlist and right now im stuck on 49 songs.

That happened to me but all I had to do was update it maybe check if you have to update it if you don't uninstall it and re download Spotify

I can save songs to liked songs, but when I try to save a song to any Playlist it looks like it will save but I get no notice thst it had saved to a Playlist and is not saved to this Playlist

I have already reinstalled Spotify. I am on android with Spotify version 9.0.86.1358

Hey @Blainekatz,

Could you let us know what your device and its exact OS version are?
And, aside from this, could you let us know if saving to different playlists normally and not via the (+) function works for you?
I'd also check if the same behaviour is observed if you log yourself in to the Spotify app on a different device and/ or if someone else logs themselves in to the app on your device.

Much appreciated. We'll be on the lookout for your reply.
