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

I primarily use spotify by listening to saved albums.   Before spring 2019, I was able to remove song from albums by "unliking" them. When playing the album, these songs would be skipped and this was great.   With the new interface, songs can be liked (heart) or unliked (unhearted). Irrespective of the heart, all the song of the album now play.   My  "liked song" playlist has thousands of files so its unuseable.   Please reenable the feature to skip unliked songs from albums. I miss that a lot.     ... View more

    I've been using Spotify consistantly for probably almost four years at this point, and have over 5500 songs saved/liked across over 1000 different artists, so you can imagine my frustration with finding music that I'ved saved/liked by a specific artist who I've not followed under the recent update. I would love for some way to easily find saved songs by artists that I am not following, as currently the only way to do that is to search for the artist, follow them, find them in my follows, then unfollow them, or to scroll through the list of "Recommended artists" underneath my followed artists which is over 900 artists long. Now, I have a couple of ideas on how to fix this, and I would love to see all of them implemented, but even just one would make browsing my saved/liked songs so much easier.     Firstly, the main artist page itself. A way to toggle between the current way of sorting artists and something closer to the old way would be nice; for example, displaying all saved artists by default, but having a way to filter to just follewed artists, much like the "Filter downloaded songs" found on mobile, or a switch that says "Show only followed artists" which would show the current view (of course, this can be enabled by default so as not to overwhelm users). Barring that, a way to sort the "Recommended artists" section would be nice (I believe currently it sorts by recently added, but I may be mistaken). Adding a way to sort that list alphabetically or by recently played would be wonderful (speaking of, sorting followed artists by recently played in addition to recently added and alphabetically would also be wonderful). Lastly, a button on an artist's profile to the effect of "View liked songs" as a way to view the same page that you would get by clicking on them under the Artists tab would go a long way.     I understand if Spotify would not wish to implement changes such as these, but implementing even just one of them would greatly help myself, and probably many others. I would love to see all of these functions added (that last one is one I've wanted for a while, even before the update), and believe they would make for a better browsing and curating experience.     (P.S. I'm sure it'll come up somewhere, but the reason I'm not following every artist whose music I'ved liked is because some of them I like a couple of their songs, but not enough of them to warrent following, or they're something like a classical composer, where there's many many vesions of the same songs that I already have saved.)           --Cheers, Narpas ...

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

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

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

I've been using spotify since 2012 (I migrated from a Facebook-based account about a year ago). The update to change Library functionality from what people have become accustomed to since the dawn of MP3 players (browse a library of saved music by song, album, and artist) to melding everything into a large playlist is the most regressive change to happen to Spotify since I have used the service. When I first used spotify, it was organized quite similarly, where I used a playlist to save all my music. They later implemented "Saving" songs to a library, and allowing you to browse it similar to how I used to prowse my music on my iPod. The choice to revert to using a playlist and "suggesting" music based on my recently played makes browsing the library of 1000s of songs a near impossible task. Spotify's inability to listen to user feedback or at least remediate the problem brought up by others on this forum has only disheartened my trust in the brand.   My suggestion is this:    Without completely reverting back to a previous update and library management method, I suggest that you add a functionality to "view by" in the playlist view. These different views would sort and diplay songs as albums, or by artists, similarly to the previous functionality. This could be selectable by a three-dot settings menu in a corner of the UI. This UI change could then be applied not only to the "Liked Songs" playlist, but all playlists, which would add a new and interesting way to browse large playlists or libraries made by others. ...

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) ...

I can't zoom out. Everything is in my face. It's giving me anxiety. Can we have an option to make things smaller please? Also, new update to library is ridiculous. Terrible. How is removing useful features a good idea? Ack! Trash. ... View more

I'm really surprised about the removal of the "recently played" feature. This was a huge part of how I use the mobile app, and a standout feature for Spotify. The update to the Your Library page has a number of problems, but the loss of the "recently played" list is close to a deal breaker. I'd love to move my entire family plan to an app that has a useful UI. ... 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.   ...

I never expected to have to post this but the new Spotify update has outraged me so much I'm forced to bring my issues up here, in the hope that Spotify will do something about it.    The new update has done nothing but send the app (both desktop and mobile) backwards and has just become less accessible as it no longer works in the way you expect a music player to do so.   Firstly, no longer being able to view your saved library songs by artists is something that baffles me. I've always got to the music I want to listen to this way and it was a great way to shuffle all saved songs of one particular artist. Now you choose which artists to follow and that only takes you through to the artist page.    Also now when you save an album to your library you can only access them through the albums section. All the songs within the album aren't added to the song section. Like, seriously. You save the album, but not the very songs that make up the album. Therefore if you want to access the album in both places you have to save it as an album, then save each song individually as well.   Don't fret though as the albums you saved before the update are still in both sections. But, wait... If you want to remove one of those albums from you library, the songs will remain and you are left to remove each one individually. Lovely.   This is all before I've got to the specific issues with the mobile app (for me Android). Another side-effect of the change to artists in your library you can no longer download all the saved music you have under a specific artists. So you have to download each album/song. It's also really hard to navigate to specific albums/songs you have downloaded - so there's that as well.    Want to filter your library down so you can get to exaclty what you listen to? Well you can't do that any more.    As much as I've ranted in this I really just want the old Spotify back. I used to use it everyday without fail: in work, at home, on the move. All the artists, albums and songs I love so much all easy to access on the app. I've been more reluctant to use it recently as it's just not accessible any more. It seems it's been angled more for those who create and listen to playlists - which is not everyone.    For the first time ever I started to look at what other options I have available in terms of accssing and playing music. I really hope I don't have to move elsewhere and that Spotify sort this out soon.      ... 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. ...

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?  ...

I miss when saving an album would save the songs to my library as well, instead of having to save an album and then save each individual song. Most albums I save, I like most of the songs, if I wanted to remove a live track or song I didn't like, then I'd remove that manually. This would allow me to play all of my library's individual songs on shuffle, giving me a great mix of everything I've saved. ... View more

First of all, this idea has already been suggested, but it has been marked as a duplicate, which is NOT: https://community.spotify.com/t5/Closed-Ideas/Mobile-Your-Music-Album-tracklist-order/idi-p/4771763   The problem is not about saving albums, which albums are considered saved etc., but it's about the tracks of the album that you save into your Liked Songs (formerly Songs), and this change is retroactive. To explain a bit more i'm gonna talk about old albums and new albums: - Old (before the update) albums: before the new update, you could save all the tracks of an album into your Songs by adding the album to your library (again, this is NOT the issue), and, when you went to your Songs, the tracks of the album appeared in the right order (from the first track of the album to the latest). This property is not true anymore since the new update, and all the album songs in your LIKED SONGS (reminder that we are talking about the album songs in liked songs, not the albums saved in your albums, so this is NOT a duplicate idea) are in an apparently random order. - New (after the update) albums: since the new update if you click on the heart on an album it saves the album into albums but not the tracks into your Liked Songs. BUT there's still a way to save all the tracks of the album into your Liked Songs, which is (from the desktop app), select all the tracks with Shift+Click, right click and then "Save to your Liked Songs" (and this is essentially what you were doing before the update when you saved an album to your library). The problem is that, when you save all the tracks, it saves them in a random order in your Liked Songs, and the only way to have the (new) album tracks in your Liked Songs in the correct order is to save manually each track of the album in reverse order (so, you save the last track, then the track before, etc.).   Now, as i said there is a (hideous) workaround for the album tracks that i will save in the future, but there is no way to have all my old albums in Saved Tracks in the correct order (again, this is NOT about the albums saved in the Albums section, is about the tracks in Liked Songs). I don't understand if this is honestly a mistake from the developers or a conscious decision. If it's a decision, is it possible to know the reason behind this? It seems non-sense to me, and I would like to understand what was the thinking process behind this. Thanks.   P.S. As i said, the workaround works only in the desktop app since you can't select multiple songs in the mobile apps, but the problem (album tracks order in Liked Songs) remains also in the mobile apps, so this is NOT a desktop-only thing. ...

In the last big mobile update, Spotify removed the ability to access saved songs from an album by clicking on that album in Your Library. In the most recent update, Spotify entirely removed the ability to save an album in Your Music without saving the entire album.   I, like most of my friends who use Spotify, tend to navigate my saved music through the album view. Albums are easy to identify and help organize my saved music. Scrolling through albums of saved songs is much quicker and easier than scrolling through thousands of songs in the Liked Songs playlist. Not to mention that it's near impossible to find a song whose name and artist you've forgotten without seeing the album art.   Please bring back the ability to save and recall some songs in album view; it helps users find music more easily, and increases the diversity of albums and songs they listen to. ...

With the recent update, we can no longer click on an Artists button that leads us to a page where all the songs we've liked are sorted by artist. This was the dominant way I used Spotify, and so the change I find rather annoying. I don't 'Follow' artists because I've never needed to. But now if I want to see artists here, I am going to have to go through hundreds of artists one by one, and click the follow button. (And I bet if I were to actually do this - hint, I won't - all of the songs by that artist would show up, including the ones I haven't 'Liked' and therefore, don't actually want to listen to).   Also with the update to the Album's page, only albums where I have liked all of the songs, show up here. This is ridiculous! Most of the time when I find a new album, I go through song by song and only 'like' the ones I want to listen to. Before, if I wanted to listen to an album by an artist I could do so with only the songs I like, but now I am forced to listen to ones I don't like as well?   Lastly, to now describe and categorise all of liked songs as a 'playlist' instead of a 'Library' or 'Collection' seems odd. It's not a playlist because the songs are very varied, were added over many years and describe music phases, and is therefore not a playlist? Seems like an unnecessary change.    ... View more

I've got some criticism I'd like to share on the the recent update.   No list for saved songs by artist: When I want to listen to a specfic artist, 90% of the time I want to listen to their catalogue I'm familiar with. Previously, I would land on my saved songs by them which would be all their singles and albums I've decided I want to listen to more by saving them - simple, right? Landing on their public page may look appealing, but if I don't feel like listening to a specific album there's a good chance I don't feel like listening to their entire discography, unless I've already familiarised myself with all of it. I don't want to make individual playlists for my personal selection of favourite albums by my favourite artists because this is generally something I want to do quickly. A lot of the time I want to listen to a specific artist because when they come on one of my playlists I'll decide I want to listen to more of something I'm familiar with. I'm not going to make a playlist every time that happens. It's not user friendly.   This feature may help the confusion of when albums disappear as they change labels/distributors (if I only ever used artist pages and not playlists or albums), but a much simpler fix would be having the ISRC carry over when reuploaded so users don't find themselves saving albums twice (get good, guys. it's incredibly simple and been an issue for way too long). And realistically, this will actually make it worse because I'll only be able to see my saved albums if I've done this if I go into the "albums" tab before saving an album I've already saved, and I can't browse my saved albums via artist (not even through search). Let's say an artist changed the hands of 3 of their albums, I'd have to look up each release to make sure I'm not duplicating an already chaotic library.   Albums not saving songs; the assumed push for using "Liked songs": The reasons this is bad are similar to the artist page issue, but it's almost more of a mess. Credit's due that without this artist feature, saving songs is a bit trivial and this "liked song" list could be used as a nice list of my favourite songs from these albums. Good in theory (kinda). HOWEVER - my list has over 5000 songs. Have you lost your mind, Spotify? I've been a premium user for 2 years and I get rewarded by nullifying the convenience of my library? Whatever positives this may have for a new user are a complete negative for a loyal user.    Sure, the power of streaming has changed my listening habits for better and worse since I signed up, and it has made it harder to familiarise myself with things when so much is right at my fingertips. But this update has undoubtedly made it harder for me to keep listening to the artists/albums I like (special mention to the extra clicks to get to repeat and queue on the phone apps). If Spotify is going to roll out something this detrimental to my library, could they at least use their algorithms to make the "liked songs" ones they know I flog, and the more popular songs from the albums I like (or something?? anything??).    If Spotify is going to push me to only listen to playlists I make and ones made for me, I may as well listen to music on YouTube or something and sit back like a mindless neanderthall while the algorithm chooses the most clickworthy songs in the genre. I won't cancel my subscription just yet, but I've signed up to Apple Music and this is a much better experience already, and it'll be much easier to get my library together here even though I haven't used iTunes in over 2 years - that's pretty sad. I'll miss the culture of Spotify but I can't do this unless it's fixed.      EDIT: After a few months I've decided the liked song feature is improving my experience (but I still need to sort out those 5000 songs), however the lack of an artist list of saved albums/songs is still very annoying.  ...
