My Question or Issue

One of the most useful features on Spotify is the ability to listen to an approximately 15 second preview of a song in either my liked songs or a playlist. I used this to ‘sample’ songs and determine if I wanted to add them to my likes. For the past week, though, neither playlists nor my liked songs had the option to preview. Previews were marked with a white play button:

Now my liked songs look like this, with no play button on the song cover:

Without the preview feature Spotify is not particularly user friendly. Is there any way to fix this?

We need the preview feature back, we now have to click one by one, this preview feature was useful scrolling through release radar, daily weekly, now we have to click music from the start, it is now slow, and useless. We need this feature back, MASSIVE FLAW!
