Sharing issue with playlists that contain more than 331 tracks

[Onweerwolf]

Hi, I have discovered an issue, which I'm assuming is a bug.

If one makes a new playlist that contains 331 tracks or less and shares the url of the playlist with someone else then that other person will be able to see the playlist and it's full content and play it. This is correct behavior.

If, however, one makes a playlist that contains 332 or more tracks and shares the url of the playlist with someone else then that other person will not be able to view the playlist but instead get the message 'This playlist is currently empty'.

Additionally if one makes a playlist with 331 tracks, then removes a track and then adds a new track, the other person will now see a playlist with 330 tracks, which excludes both the removed track and the newly added track.

So, in conclusion, it seems that any playlist has a maximum of 331 slots that are able to be shared with another person and once a slot has been filled one time it cannot be filled again even if the track occupying the slot was removed.

The above described behavior was found to exist with both paid and unpaid accounts.

This behavior appeared first somewhere after the 28th of March 2013.

I would request for a forum official to try and confirm this behavior and if successful send the appropriate information to the developers. Unless of course this new behavior was intended. In which case I would certainly like to learn why that is the case.

Thank you!

Hey @Onweerwolf is this still happening for you with the latest update (0.9.13)?

Hi Meredith, 

No the problem has been fixed last week.

I got a tip to tweet @spotifycares to inform them and the problem was then communicated to the devs.
