[Mobile] Re-arrange song "..." index options

Not generally one to post feedback but this seems like a UX/UI error that should be addressed.

 

When I open an album and select "..." next to any song on that album, the first few options include "Hide Song" and "Remove From This Playlist" if that song is within a playlist. I recommend moving those down a few options to prevent users from inadvertently deleting or hiding a song they actually intended to share or add to a playlist.

 

I made this error and had to scour the internet using only my memory of the album art and the first word of the song title (which was in Portuguese) to recover a song I accidentally removed from a playlist.

There's no reason to close this thread when it's 14 votes away from meeting your "criteria." It's actually difficult to even find this thread in the first place. Regardless, being so close to meeting the necessary number of votes needed for this prioritized only shows that this is a flaw that needs to be FIXED.

  • Not too often but at times I feel we can all relate to pressing hide song instead of add to playlist since they're right next to each other, it's a pretty small change, I'm not suggesting the removal of the hide song option but just that it is at the bottom of the options or something. Note I don't truly know if it happens on all platform I have android (Huawei P30) to be precise.

Still relevant in 2022. It constanstly happens that I select the hide song option by mistake (BTW, same for my girlfriend and most friends I asked). It is very annoying, move that down to the bottom of the drop down menu

It's been almost 3 years and it's still the same... Disappointing! I accidentally hide songs or almost remove it (probably already removed without even noticing), and it doesn't even pop up a warning or confirmation message.

Move the "hide from playlist" option to the bottom of the list.  I keep accidentally hiding songs that I want to "like" or "add to playlist".

Have been annoyed by the hide location music forever now and had no clue I needed to go scour the internet for this idea post to submit the feedback. PLEASE MOVE IT.

I truly do not understand why this has not been corrected yet. Why does it need votes and days, weeks, months, years for the spotify team to correct a significantly terrible design flaw that is genuinely impacting spotify listeners lives in such a negative way that literally makes us lose songs that we actually love or at least like. What a great establishment this is.

 

Please, for the love and appreciation of music, fix this problem already!

To add on to my previous comment...

 

I had to search for an hour before I could even find this "idea" as several others with titles like "move hide this song away from add to playlist " which were closed because it said there was already a similar idea but yet they did not indicate what that idea was or link to it in any way. The fact that there isn't a link to the original or first post for an idea is already a major issue as it is not efficient or sustainable. Closed topics that are repeats should be moved to a different location so its easier to find current abs active ideas and to see if your own idea isn't already listed.

 

Secondly, as I said before,  this kind of issue shouldn't need votes to fix. It is a design flaw, and should be fixed immediately. I read every single comment alluding to the level of importance on this, and I am bewildered and aghast as to why it's not being taken with priority and urgency.
