How can I get back autoplay from search results?

[depesz]

Some time ago, when I searched for a song, and then played one from results, when it ended next song from search results played.

This was great for comparing covers, for example.

Now, since at least a month, playback stops after first song.

How can I make it treat search results as any other playlist and have it continue playback?

I'm on Spotify 8.5.47.1006 on Android 10.

I agree, it's completely absurd that this doesn't work, especially for advanced searches. I often like to find new music by searching with queries such as "year:2022 AND genre:electronica" and just go down the list of results. It's such an annoyance to have to manually add them all to my queue after searching - just play the list! Absolutely horrible UX decision by Spotify, they continue to hinder music discovery with stuff like this.

I've submitted a new idea for this here https://community.spotify.com/t5/Idea-Submissions/Search-Autoplay-all-search-results/idi-p/5440489#M...

I found a workaround for it, you just need to hit Ctrl + A and add all of them to the queue

jfc thank you

It's neat to have a workaround for the desktop version, but I use mostly if not only the android version so that's helps only partially

This idea could also interest you: Play all search results

I encountered the same problem and what I do now is after searching a song I press the three dots above that song then scroll down to "song radio" and its the same as but it takes a few extra seconds and button presses which sucks.

How has it been 4 YEARS and spotify has not fixed this extremely straight-forward and easily verified bug??

another user here in 2024 frustrated by this bug - I'll use the add to queue as a crutch, but I get it you guys are too busy redesigning the next UI (which will likely be another abomination) than fix what really matters to your users.

Hi! It's been a while, and we still can't play all the songs in the search results. So I submitted an idea for this It's be nice if others could vote for it, otherwise the idea will be removed: https://community.spotify.com/t5/Live-Ideas/Play-all-the-songs-from-the-search-results/idi-p/6226967...

hey vgstef, it looks like I don't have permission to access the page for your idea.

[sonixunite]

One more thing... since my last comment, the search page on android actually got WORSE. now you can't specify "I only want to see songs" until AFTER you scroll to the bottom of the results page.

What a shame. I don,t have access to my idea aymore. Spotify block (or removed it). Why are they so opposed to simply pley all the serach results? Older versions of the application was allowing it. They removed, and now the don't accept ideas to bring it back... You should just that idea too!

I have this problem and I just took your advice but it was already on and didn’t change anything.
