So glad that I finally remembered to google about this and found this thread!!!  I literally listen to Spotify (or did) 24/7.  The new variety of music that I hear that would have never been heard before is so cool!  

I would scan through all these new selected playlists, '+' the songs that I had any liking to.  By the end of the week or so, playlists would be done - but, I would still have the new songs just added in order right there in my "Songs" menu

And then.. the update comes... No more songs menu, no more artists filter that was so super easy to use.. Then seems to be a following update which even removes the '+' and you now only have the heart.  (The heart was always avoided by me because the likes weren't always easy to find like songs added to your library were.)

I literally can't use the app anymore - meaning it's changes have made it really inefficient to use.  I hope the issue is resolved soon - no point in family plan when the whole family's use changed...

awesome idea! glad i started reading posts after spewing my dislike for the update with all the rest of you... lol

thanks for the suggestion.

you may want to ensure your petition is gramatically correct before sending..

There is a major difference in understanding between "certain dongs" and "certain songs".. 

Jokes aside, I found that error because the petition interested me and would be something I would be willing to sign.  I believe many others would from the looks of this forum post.

Well the update sucks **bleep**. If I save an album why in **bleep** do I need to save the songs seprately????

The option to play all songs at once was a better one. Were you guys drunk when this came through??

[Itranette]

It just updated for me. I literally make my playlists by going through my artists and seeing what I have saved for each one. This makes me so mad... I can’t even use Spotify how I want to anymore. Please change it back, I and many others absolutely despise the new “features” that have made using Spotify completely inefficient. Who thought this would be a good idea?? Simply terrible. Considering switching services for sure unless it’s changed by summer. I need my **bleep** music!!!!!

Well I learned that b a l l s and h e l l are offensive words. Special kind of snowflakes aren't you!

Did installing an older .apk work for you? Have you had any issues or does it work fine on an older version of the app? 

I want to do the same, but I'd rather know for sure if it'll work before I redownload 10+GB of music

No, this doesn't help at all. Generally, I don't follow artists, I listen to their music. I always assumed that was the purpose of a music streaming app but clearly I was wrong about that.

Furthermore, the artists that are listed (whether followed our not) are not listed alphabetically making finding what I want to hear a very frustrating experience.

This needs to be fixed imminently and, preferably, the old UI restored or this subscription will be terminated!

I am beyond angry with Spotify at the moment. It's like going to a restaurant but you can only order vegan options and you have to have pudding first. Utter nonsense.
