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, just put everything back the way it was! The newest update literally just made Spotify less accessible. Why is Create A Playlist above all of my saved songs and playlists?

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 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

Hello Spotify, very annoyed with your new update. I spent years trimming down albums, removing songs I didn't like so I could play the album just as I liked. With your new update, all removed songs have been added back to the albums, now instead I have to go searching through a huge playlist to attempt to play the album as I originally setup. Very annoying and find the whole update and new system has ruined the app. So much so I'm currently looking at other options.  Can you return the original options, or let me know how I can restore the previous version so I can listen back as I spent years setting up. Not good at all!!!   ... 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

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. ...

In response to this new update, I am giving Spotify until April 4th to fix or remove this previous update that took place on March 7th. This update has made the app unusable. The artist search option is completely removed, full albums no longer save, songs can only be searched by title and you can not even jump to the letter you want. This update was so ill advised that the person who gave it the final OK should be rempoved from that position in the company and reassgined to something as far away from app layout as possible. Further more, Spotify is only looking to fulfil its agenda, it does not care about the consumer. Look no further than how you get in contact with the company. There is no way to communicate over the phone, when you chat with them they all give you the same scripted answers making your issue seem like it doesnt matter, and does not look for any real significant way to improve. As you end the chat, their is a survey that asks how the chat went and if you were satisfied. It does not ask why you were or werent satisfied, it does not look to actually improve. By voting on this idea, this is letting the company know if the previous update is not removed by April 4th, we willbe leaving Spotify for another music platform. I am giving them until April 4th because accodring to spotify they review all ideas that get 100 votes on a monthly basis. Ideas to have the previous update removed have already reached more than 600 votes. Its time they give the people their music back the way they want it or we leave. While loosing all your music may be tough, it is not impossible to replace and it is certainly not worth the hassel and headache that spotify has now made it to be. Please direct anyone who hates this update to vote on this idea so we can let the company know we will be leaving if change does not take place. ... View more

I searched “Love dr” so I could play “Love Drunk” by the iconic Boys Like Girls, and the top result was not “Love Drunk;” rather, it was “Love Drugs and **bleep**” by “A Boogie Wit da Hoodie” (?). I am very disappointed, and I am requesting that Spotify put “Love Drunk” as the “Top result.” It is disrespectful to one of the best pop rock bands of the decade to put them below a booger in a hooder.    LOVE DRUNK DESERVES TO BE THE "TOP RESULT." ...

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

Hello,   I would love it for Spotify to add this tunning option, I dont think it should be much trouble and it's actually very easy.     This would be a huge favor to us people that love to hear music on a better and pure tunning.    I know there are some artist that have music in Spotify at this tunning but I think it would be nice work Spotify to add an option where you could modify the tunning of any song.    Thank you and please dont forget to Kudos.  :) ...

Please, for the love of God, bring back the old organization of the feed. It is very important to me that with this paid subscription I have the capability to quickly and easily access whatever music I want. This was extremely easy when all of my saved music was laid out alphabetically. I don't want to go through and follow all of my artists to get that. That is absolutely ridiculous. Please fix this. ... View more

As everyone has been saying, this new update is awful. I'm looking for the ability to listen to my saved songs from an album, and only those saved songs. For example: When I want to listen to Kendrick Lamar's "To **bleep** A Butterfly,"  I should go to Albums, scroll down to TPAB, and play it without having to skip songs I didn't save. Currenty, I have to change my Playback to Offline and then play TPAB. That is a pain, because when you're offline you obviusly can't search for new music. This update is trying to make users create and use more playlists. Like I mentioned before, now you can't just listen the songs you saved, because they're all saved but some are Liked. This feature should be removed entirely. If I like a song, I'll save it. If I save it, it downloads onto my phone. If I wanna hear the saved songs from a specific album, I go to that album in my library. When I go to that album in my library, I should see the songs I saved. If I wanna see the rest of the songs from that album, I'll click on "View Full Album."  (TL;DR)  Remove Liked vs. Saved Go back to all saved songs being in the library under "Saved Songs" Make it so that only saved songs from an album are found in the Album Library Make it so that saving a song means you liked it, and saving a song downloads it   ...

Military men and women who are deployed often do not have access to internet.  Spotify will delete their playlists and music that is downloaded if they have gone 30 days without conntecting to the internet.  Most the time when they are deployed they do not have intenet connection for more than 30 days and are unable to redownload their music which means they spend a good portion of the time while deployed with no music.   Music is an essential vise while deployed and I know many people who would be extremely grateful if there was a way to keep music longer than 30 days without internet.  ...

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
