Subscriber of 8 years wants the heart back.

[jonah3]

Spotify is falling victim to the threat of over-engineering. If it ain’t broke don’t fix it, haven’t you heard? I don’t care about executive pressure, or the necessity to be making periodic changes. This change is not good. 

first off, I can’t tell what songs in my playlists are already liked. That’s gone. Secondly, the add to my likes button is on the bottom left now instead of the heart being on the top right. 

Why make your users relearn your system that was working perfectly?

if this doesn’t come back I’ll have to switch to a competitor. And that makes me super sad after 8 years. By the way, I’m in Stockholm. 

edit; it seems that an employee of Spotify recognized all of the bad things with this decision that started rolling out in October. But yet this crisis isn’t averted. 

now I know Spotify is legendary for their project management model. As a project manager myself, I would like you to reverse this project and whoever had this idea (and whatever project management team agreed) to be hanged by the nines.

It’s become more tedious to mass-like separate songs, and overall it feels unnecessary.. bring back the heart <\3

I want the hearts back too. When browsing playlists and albums, I could tell at a quick glance whether I wanted to add the playlist or album  to my library. Without the column of hearts, I can’t tell that without taking a lot more time to look through the tracks one by one. Very inconvenient. I hate it, and if they don’t switch it back, I will also cancel my subscription.

You’re a real one for this post Jonah. I feel absolutely the same! now Spotify has turned off new idea posting which is good because I was prepping to write an utterly scathing review of this terrible new change. T•E•R•R•I•B•L•E someone PLEASE put out this five alarm fire

So they changed it to one button that does two things. That’s a UI-nono. Who came up with this terrible idea?

I figured I couldn’t be the only one upset about the fact I can no longer tell from an album page which songs I have hearted (sometimes I just want to queue those up and the new UI change makes that so tedious it’s impossible, having to check every song on a list or album to tell which ones I “like” is ridiculous).

Can you at least consider bringing back some sort of way to show which songs have been saved to the liked songs playlist? This change feels like a serious downgrade to how I use spotify.

Why not have a plus sign (or keep the heart) and when you press it once it gets added to your liked songs and stays green, then if you want to add it to another playlist you press and hold it ?

Regardless, like others have stated, I use the heart (or used to anyway) for my own visual tracking of what songs in a playlist or album that I've liked. If I've listened to a thread of songs but haven't taken the time to stop what I'm doing and plus each individual song, I can't go back and quickly "like" each of the songs. Spotify has taken what was a quick and easy process and dragged it out into a multiple step process that quite frankly makes no sense.

The icon could be a 💩 for all I care, but it absolutely has to show what songs you 💩 on a playlist or album.

No fr the plus is actually awful. First of all it makes everything feel so like sterile and manufactured the heart was  so cute and it felt wholesome. Getting rid of the symbol on songs feels so unnecessary? It literally just makes it harder to find the music I like. It’s genuinely gonna make using Spotify so much worse.

I can't see what songs I like anymore  TT
