I used to use Spotify a few years ago, and I want to use it again. However, it seems the feature to view all songs added to my library is gone. It is ridiculous to have to go through and like every song to create a playlist with all of my music. What happened to the feature allowing me to scroll through all of my songs and shuffle all? I want to come back to Spotify from Apple Music, but I refuse to use a platform that doesn't allow me to view and shuffle all of my music. I won't spend my time liking every song on every one of my playlists to put it in a playlist when there should already be a section dedicated to this. ... View more

In the most recent spotify update, any catagory of music except for "Albums" and "Artists" has been removed. "Artists" now only shows the artists you follow, and "Albums" now only show full albums that you have saved (so if you have one or two songs saved in that album, it won't show up there). There is currently no way to change this back to the old layout, and this is inconvenient if you would like to see your entire library under "albums" and "artists."    Spotify should, consequently, either return to the previous layout or add an option for these two tabs to organize your entire library. This will make it far more convenient for Spotify users to access their library, as well as listen to music from specific albums or artists without being forced to listen to the entire discography of an artist or an entire album if they do not wish to do so.   Attached belowis an image the new layout for reference.   ...

Revert the change that removed the screen staying on while plugged into charge. This feature was ideal when driving so you could see what was on without having to touch phone. At home this was great to display on phone/ipad so everyone could use spotify rather than having to pass them to somebody to unlock. Removing this has no benefit and makes the app a lot more unpractical. This change should have been made as an option for the user to decide wether they wanted to lock or not.    Any solutions provided involve using another app for this feature to work. This is not a solution.  ... View more

Theres a list of letters on the right hand side to help navigate songs when theyre in alphabetical order... it was super helpful and I used it all the time. Mine suddenly disappeared though :-( Is this a new update or did i change it somehow?  ... View more

This was previously possible, but as of the latest UI update i cant seem to find a way to view a list of all of my liked/saved songs. A compilation of every individual song i have from every playlist and every album is very useful, i would shuffle play that for a completely random song of one of the many genres i listen to. It used to be within the “your library” tab, under another tab titled “songs”. But a few weeks/months ago the update changed this and removed the feature. Now the only options are playlists, artists, and albums no “songs” tab. But at least now there is a podcasts tab which i never use. If there is still a way to do this on mobile i cant figure out how. If the feature was completely removed from mobile... why would you do that.  ... View more

I used to be able to "Save" an album and go through and remove the tracks I didn't want, like live songs on a deluxe album.  Now that "Save" has been replaced with "Like", all the albums I had saved now include every song from the album with no way to remove them and even though "Like" is not selected for the songs I don't want it still plays everything on the album, not just the likes songs.  This is so frustrating.  I didn't have the songs saved for a reason, now I have no choice unless I want to turn all of my saved albums into seperate playlists.  Frustrating. ...

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

The new update is awful. The artists tab should include saved artists, not just those we follow. The albums tab should show albums that just have a few songs saved again. And the recently played should be more prominent. Give us the option to view the whole album art on screen and only that. Stop removing features!   The more complicated options we have as users to organize and view our library, the better. I signed up for spotify because it felt designed for people who are serious about listening to and organizing music. The most recent update, along with smaller changes over the last year, are ruining the experience.   PLEASE undo the changes to this last update, particularly how artists and albums are grouped. I have never considered Apple Music previously but I am looking into it after this. There are so many benefits to Spotify but it feels like they are slowly being lost to dumb “silicon valley” type trends in app design.    Feels like Spotify is waging a war on the idea of keeping a music library at all. Please stop. ... View more

Hello There,   I have been using your service for many years now. When I began it was very simple. Search an artist, find a song/album you want, add it to your "library". I would go to my library and could scroll through my artists (i particularly loved the letters on the side of the screen that made it even faster to scroll around).    I am not here to criticize the changes that have been made lately (to the mobile app, specifically for iOS), but I personally do not find the changes to be beneficial, nor are they very user friendly. They do not really make sense to me, and I am getting frustrated with the current set up. I believe it would be very cool to offer a legacy format to the application which would make my library act more like a windows media/itunes library. I find it far more intuitive, easier to navigate and I do not believe that it would interfere with your current algorithms that provide recommendations and the discover weekly (both of which are amazing and beautiful tools).    I want to reitterate that I love your service and hope to continue being a patron, but I am very frustrated personally with the few latest big patches (last 9 months or so). Current layout is far from intuitive, I do not wish to follow most of the groups that I enjoy. The "your release radar" was perfectly fine for knowing when new albums came out. Maybe adding that as a listed playlist in "playlist" section of my "library" would be a more effective place for it to be. I am not a programmer, or developer, but I do spend a lot of time using various app and program interfaces and have been in the music scene since the early (glory) days of Napster. Not that that makes me anyone special.    Hope this helps. I really would apreciate a Legacy option, I think it would be particularly helpful to an older crowd, i could imagine them having a lot of difficulty with the current interface.   Thank you for your time, Brennan (54rc45m) ...

Terrible New Update Rendering Spotify Way Less Accessible And Therefore Less Enjoyable To Use.   The newest update is just terrible. PLEASE bring back the alpabetical scroll bar, the ability to look at all of my artists of all of my saved songs, the possibility to save songs from albums individually without having to put them into a playlist. PLEASE bring back being able to look at recently played songs in the tab "library" and not in the tab "start" where I have to be connected to WiFi to look at them. PLEASE put everything back to the way it was before the last two big updates of Spotify! The newest update literally just made Spotify less accessible. Why is Create A Playlist above all of my saved songs and playlists? 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, being able to see all of our recently played songs AND not having to be connected to WiFi to do so. Also, personally: PLEASE bring back the possibility to save songs individually without having to put them into a playlist. The last two updates just made downloading and saving songs needlessly complicated and the experience of Spotify overall not enjoyable. Last but not least: bring back the category of "new released" so that one doesn't have to search for new releases but can access them easily.   I'm already looking out for other streaming devices (namely Apple Music) if Spotify stays being this inconveniently to use or the impending updates prive to be even more restricting in accessing and listening to my saved and downloaded music. ...

Can you implement a way to simply view all songs involved with a searched artist. The way it is now, it seems very difficult to find songs as we can only see popular songs or go through individual albums. It would make it easier to discover new or not as popular songs and a lot of times I find myself going to YouTube to find new music.  ... View more

The first update removing the Queue icon from the upper right hand corner of the Now Playing screen, showing the number of songs in your queue was a bad move in my opinion. You replaced it’s place with the Song Options link, which did not need to be moved at all. Now this new update that changed the Library section to only show playlists, artists, and albums, with big icon lists that you have to scroll down a bunch with, with the Recently Played section removed.. everything is so much less functional and less options are on one screen than before. People want less navigation and more functionality. It’s looking like a cheap web-player layout with big icons and lists that work well for those that can’t see well without glasses, but make it harder for everybody else. Change it back, please. I don’t know what you guys are trying to go for, but it’s not as good. ... View more

Recently I have found that Spotify is doing away with the add/remove function (+ and check mark to add songs to or remove them from your library).  To my understanding, these worked the same as the save/unsave button: add one whole album to or remove from your library, respectively. Now, there is a little green heart, which means like or dislike, which will add things to your library, but somehow doesn't remove them the same way + and check mark did. It seems to be an unnecessary change and causes more complications.    I used to have specific songs from albums saved in my library. Now, I have ALL songs from every single album saved to my library, and my library is full because of this, so nothing else can be added. All the time and energy I spent making my library exactly what I wanted it to be, while being careful not to fill it up is now wasted.   If I only liked a couple songs I might save them, or put them in a playlist, OR I would save the whole album, listen to it, and remove the songs I didn't particularly like--this worked before the newest update. But now, if you enjoy the album except for a couple songs you chose to remove--too bad, you must listen to every single song because the whole album is still saved  in your library, even though every song isn't liked. So what exactly is the purpose of liking and unliking?   The inconsistency is in the like/unlike function versus the older add/remove or save/unsave function. EVERYTHING gets added to your library--filling it up.   This creates an issue when downloading songs offline, too.  Only specifically, individually liked songs will get downloaded. This means that if you're trying to save data while driving, etc, basically you can't. You have to play all songs from the album, not just the ones you want to listen to, or what you downloaded for that purpose.    It used to be add/remove or save/unsave songs and albums and now it is like/unlike songs and albums which is more ambiguous and doesn't function properly with a music library containing only the songs you want it to.  This is extremely frustating to me because it has effectively--I hope only temporarily--added back all the hundreds of songs I have removed from my library and eleminated all my work at making my library specifically curated for me.    I'm a music listener who builds a library and then actually listens through all of it. This new update has made my library listening system and downloading offline obsolete.  ... View more

Today the Ipad app was updated to change the layout to be the same as the Iphone app with the nav bar at the bottom. All i can say is why? Why would you do this? The Ipad app used to essentially use two halfs of the screen serepatly, the left side being the previouse pannel you were on and the right being the one you are on. This worked perfectly and meant you could swap between playlists and tracks easily and it meant there was NO wasted space. This previouse layout was clearly designed for Ipad and worked perfectly and was very userfriendly so WHY WHY WHY would you change it to this: (attachment)    Pretty much 80% of the screen is wasted blank space and there is no way to easily see what playlist you are playing. Basically each pannel seen in the image of the previous layout now fills the entire screen and you have to use a back arrow at the top left to go to other pannels. This NEEDS to change, it is not acceptable to change a perfectly good layout to one designed for a much smaller screen for seemingly no reason, the only update note is that they changed the layout to that of Iphones so this update was completely pointless and just ruined the layout. The nav bar being at the bottom is unnecissary, there was nothing wrong with it being at the side. Whats happened is a high up who has no idea about what people want or anything about thier own app have told thier team to bring out an update because one hasnt been out for a while even though thier is no need for one.    I seriously hope more people get on Spotifys **bleep** about this because this needs to be changed because frankly it less userfriendly then the previouse layout and ugly AF.   Once again we see a software provider updating thier software for no good reason only to make things worse, these companies need to understand that thiers nothing wrong with leaving something the way it is. If it aint broke dont fix it!    ... View more
