Am a Premium user, was told that Premium Users would be getting the use of their new idea for organization of the Your Library tab. Didn't really mind, don't see it as much needed. I have few qualms with it other than the fact that there is no longer a section for Recently Played albums/songs. This is a pretty major inconvenience for me, seeing as I have a human memory that likes to forget things on me. Having to create a Recently Played playlist for myself to update every time a new song comes on is pretty impractical and annoying. So, please bring back the Recently Played section/tab. Very useful.   Also, not extremely related, but the function to submit ideas seems hidden away in the tabs of the menu, itself hidden in a rabbit hole of non-expressive buttons (Help>Community>Menu>Ideas), and I was forbidden from posting on mobile (For not activating with my email? That's the first thing I did!). Not directly related to the app itself, but it felt like an issue I had worth mentioning. ... View more

Does anybody know which is the advantage of this update of the Library? Before we had an alphabetic list of saved artists, and similar for albums. Now, it is a great mess!!!   Also, I cannot filter by artist with downloaded songs, like before.   Also, the whole thing is less responsive. I click on an artist, and it takes several seconds until the songs load... (and my phone is new and fast, and this went super fluently before this crappy last update).   Spotify, please, can you explain which is the rationale behind this updated library? because, honestly, I see ZERO advantages with respect to the previous one, and many disadvantages!   After many years, this makes one consider switch to an alternative, if it existed... Most of the updates do things worst and worst.   Stop updating the apps (mobile and desktop) with random updates that does not bring any value to your product, please. ... View more

So Spotify for whatever reason decided to make the app as inconvenient as possible. The previous set up before this new update was so easy to navigate, find the artist, songs, radio stations, and podcasts whenever I hit the library icon. Now I have to search for and add all these artists basically all over again and frankly I'm pretty mad about it to the point where I want to cancel my subscription. Whats even more frustrating is trying to contact Spotify themselves so I can complain in hopes of actually getting something done about this is like a game and seemingly impossible to get a direct hold of. I'm sure I'm not the only one who feels this way. Can someone please help fix this? I just want the old spotify back. ... View more

The old mobile UI so many of us loved had our own beloved libraries and collections front and center by using the whole screen to show playlists, albums or podcasts.   The new update introduces two design UI/UX decisions that I absolutely can't get behind.   The huge titlebar   You know that in design big=important, right? The biggest thing now is the titlebar where we can switch between podcasts and music.   But the decision if a user wants to listen to podcasts or music is made even before she/he launches the app.   I leave the house, take my phone out of my pocket knowing that I want to listen to that new abum or playlist on the bus ride. I go to: Library -> Playlists and stay there until I unplug my headphones.   I'm cooking or washing the dishes and I want to listen to that new podcast episode? I choose: Library -> Podcasts and listen until I'm finished. We do not switch back and forth between music and podcasts multiple times. We don't want this huge titlebar to push our own content further down.   If you absolutely want to keep it, please at least don't let it show everytime there is just a slight scrolling upwards.    Huge Icons   This would not be such a big problem If you didn't choose to color playlist folders and the "add playlist" button in this "Mockup Gray" shade.   This just does not look nice.    When I open the app I do not see my awesome music collection, I see gray mockup icons that make me feel like I use an 0.0.1 version of Spotify.   You also chose to force usage of this "Favorite Songs" playlist by placing it on top with no option to hide it. I don't want to use it because the concept of "liked songs" together in a playlist musically makes no sense to me. I like different songs, I like happy ones, sad ones, neutral ones. Listening to this playlist would be an emotional rollercoaster.    Now for the "new idea" part:   Bring back full screen content views. Let us navigate to them by choosing if we want to see albums, artists, podcasts or singles on a seperate screen. Our own collections are the most important part of your app. Make the icons smaller again OR move the "Add Playlist" Button to the top right, allow hiding of "Liked Songs" and make playlist folders visually appealing by setting colors or cover art.   Spotify please, at least gives us 1 good and thought out response to our massive criticism.  Please don't close this idea (like the other one about the new UI) by giving one of those Copy-Paste responses telling us how to use the interface correctly.  We understand how to use the interface. We just don't like it because you made design mistakes. If you close this idea again everyone visiting this thread will see how bad your communication with your users really is.     ... View more

Thanks to the latest update/downgrade I can not play my entire saved songs library anymore as one giant playlist. 90% of the time I listened to Spotify, I just shuffled my entire songs library and now I would have to go through thousands of songs and add them to the liked songs list.   How is it "streamlining" when you remove obvious core features like the possibility to view your entire library as individual songs? I guess next update will turn this platform into a single play button.. Not going to continue the premium subscribtion since this company keeps making these idiotic changes to things that don't need fixing. ... View more

Since the change to the UI in June saving music on Spotify has become extremely inconvenient. Before we were able to save the songs we enjoyed, and they would be found under both the artist and album tabs. Now we can only save entire albums, and "like" songs for them to be added to a ridiculously long and incoherent playlist. Very few people like every single song from a given album, so naturally they wouldn't save the songs the didn't enjoy. However now people that did that are pretty much being punished by having the majority of our library shoved into "liked songs".   Please revert the way we save our music to the way it was previously. Being able to save music we enjoyed is kind of a big part of using Spotify, and not being able to do something as simple as that will just cause us to seek out other services. Something as basic as saving our music shouldn't be replaced by a more inconvenient version just for the sake of change alone. ... View more

Having to follow all the artists that I ever added a song of in order for them to appear in my library under artists so I can browse them alphabetically is mindboggelingly stupid. I have many hunderds of artists of which many I don't remember the name. This will take me hours and I'll lose many cool songs which I discovered through playlists because of this.   You know what is wrong with the update (and it's more than I've written here but I can't be bothereed to list more things), just have look online, on this forum, on your twitter. Realise you made a bad, bad move and fix it. Quickly. I bet quite some subscribers are gone already, and many more, including me, will leave is this will not be adressed.   Realise you've made a mistake. Admit it. Revert / Fix it. Apologise to the people that pay you (the users) for the inconvenience. ... View more

Whenever I download an album, it automatically saves the entire album. But with the update, I have to also manually save every song on the album because by downloading the entire album, it now only goes to the Albums area but not the Liked Songs anymore. This is a problem because sometimes whenever I want to only save a few songs from an album, it only goes to the Liked Songs playlist, not to the Album area like what happens prior to the update. The ‘Recently Played’ is also removed from ‘Your Library’ , adding inconvenience to my listening experience. For example, I save 2 songs from the same album. Before the update, I could access these 2 songs from both the ‘Your Saved Songs’ and ‘Albums’ section. After the update, I could only access the 2 songs from the ‘Liked Songs’ playlist but not the ‘Albums’ section.  Please @spotify fix this!!!! ... View more

when the new Spotify updated rolled out, i was unhappy but tried to deal with it. now, it’s just getting on my nerves, like everyone else’s. i’ve seen so many complaints about this new update and Spotify, please hear us out on this one. this update is very unorganized and i hate it. the biggest problem is that you guys got rid of the main thing i used, the “recently played” list in your library of literally all the songs you’ve just listened to. now i saw you “fixed” this with recently played, but playlists you’ve made or songs i guess you liked. now i don’t “like” every song i play and this is really annoying me. so can we just have the actual recently played list back?  ...

So when are you going to roll back to the previous version of the mobile app? Honestly, this has to be one of the single most unpopular updates I've ever seen birthed into this world. Did nobody who designed this stop for even a second and think that, amongst other things, removing the recently played section from library was, in fact, NOT a good idea? Nobody reckoned that would be a bad move?   Honestly, I've been using premium for 4, probably nearly 5 years now. But if there's no reverting to the previous version, or at the very bare minimum, a reinstatement of the recently played, I'm gone. Done. C'est fini! And no, the 4 or 5 albums on the home page "recently played" section do not count in the slightest. Especially considering one of them is the naff video explaining this terrible update. ...

This new updated library is terrible. There is nothing good about it, except mabye being able to filter playlists. Here's the main things which are causing an issue: All our artists are gone. They now have to be followed to appear in the library, which takes ages. Additionally, once followed it seems to save all songs from the albums - when I listen to an album I curate it and remove the songs I don't like from my library. So now I can't simply shuffle an artist without hearing ALL their songs!  There seems to be a similar problem with the Albums tab. I now essentially don't use the Artists or Albums tab as it shows all the songs from said album, including ones I'd previosuly unsaved. So thats great... The lovely alphabetical scroll bar is gone! Now I can't quickly scroll to the artist/song by alphabetical order, and have to search in the search bar. Waaaay more unecessarily complicated. The recently played section of my library is gone! I always used this to quickly access artists I'm listening to alot. Spotify claims that this is now on the home page - not really. Sure it has recently played artists, but if you select these it simply takes you to the artists home page - again not the curated artists page of your personal library. Please, please, I'm paying £10/month for this rubbish. Either change back to the old library, or have an option in settings whereby the user can decide which is best for them and choose accordingly. I've been a Spotify subscriber for 6 years, mabye its time to try Apple Music...   ... View more

Let me say that I think much of the new UI update is fine, and includes some good ideas! Unlike other posts here, I’m not advocating Spotify just “go back” to the old UI.    Allowing people to *filter* their artists into just those they follow is a great idea! Having just songs that are directly liked go into the liked songs playlist is a good idea!   But those should be *separate* from the way you access the songs you save to your library. Almost everyone I know who uses Spotify used it the same way iTunes, iPods, google play, Apple Music, basically any digital form of listening to music has ever worked: you save songs or albums or part of an album to your music collection, and then you can access those same set of songs by the artists’ names, albums’ names, song titles etc. The new update ruined this experience for many, many users, and effectively destroyed my library as I had grown it.    The goal of the new additions, in giving users new ways to group their music, is fine! Great even, but there was no need to take away other functionality. The old way and the new way didn’t have to be mutually exclusive. Saving a song could be differientiated from liking it! More options are better, removing functionality is bad.    I have no problem with the aesthetic changes to the UI, or the other changes to the way certain functions have been regrouped. The podcast changes seem positive! I do miss the way recently played was previously listed vertically, but could live without that.    But for the love of music, PLEASE re-integrate the library as it’s own saved collection you can access via artist name, song name, and album name, separate from liked songs or followed artists. Allowing these options to exist side by side would truly make spotify better than it has ever been.  ... View more

Remember before the update that got rid of the old Your Library tab? Yeah, bring that back. I want an artist's tab that shows every artist in my library, not just the followed ones and then a random list of all the other artists I have saved.  And the songs tab. None of this playlist with every possible song in it garbage. And please, most of all, PLEASE bring back the list view of recently played everything!  Albums, artists, playlists, whatever it be.  And if course, the ability to SAVE AN ALBUM.  I don't listen to track based artists. I LISTEN TO ALBUMS. So let me save that album with one click.  The new user interface is probably great for some people. I hate it. Reddit hates it. So, just give us a nice little button we can press in settings to select which UI we want to use. Please, it's been 1 day and I hate the new UI. It feels like I list a bunch of stuff for the podcasts tab. I don't listen to podcasts. So give me the option to change it.  Please spotify. I'm begging you.  I love the statistics I get through you guys, I love the end of year review, but this UI makes me want to check out Apple music or sound cloud go or something else.  ... View more

The new update is terrible.    Problems:   1. The artist page is not in alphabetical order 2. Liked songs playlist holds only liked songs, not albums saved.      It should be understood that if I save an album I like those songs. I do not need to go and like each song individually.  3. Recently played should be brought back 4. There is a lot of glitches with not downloading music I requested to download. 5. It is way too hard to find the music you just downloaded.    Please return to the old version or find a way to fix these problems.            ... View more

That is not the first thing people want to see, we go on Spotify to listen to our music and we want to be able to access it easily.  ... View more
