My Question or Issue

The media player/widget used to show the button that controls whether to loop a song or not. Now it's gone and I can only loop if I open the app and change it there.

This is annoying! It used to be there. Why was it removed? I'm pretty sure it used to be there.

Now the only buttons I have are the previous, next, shuffle or add to liked songs.

I can't even attach screenshots because of the poor front-end of this community page.

Honestly, why does Spotify keep getting worse with every update. What's wrong with you guys.  8+ years with Spotify and it's only getting worse every year.

You mean the feature that was already there and released? And then removed with no explanations?

To be honest, those generic responses you guys give on this forum is anything but helpful. And I get it's not you personally, but what's the point of paying for a subscription (with yearly increases in prices) to get a worse and worse experience? And to be told "we'll think about it".

Do you see why I'm frustrated? It's not just this feature. It's the constant enshitification of the app. Removing useful features and adding features no one asked for.

You'll pass the info and then what?

At this point, it's a lot simpler to just cancel my subscription and use another service. What's the point honestly
