Why did yall change my playlist :(

[raeskinner616]

I've been listening to the "focus now" playlist while I study for at leat 2 years now. All the sudden I come back to it this fall and all the songs on it have changed!!! I miss the old playlist and I was just wondering if I can get a list of the songs that were on that playlist of January this year so I can listen to them again.

Hey there!

Unfortunately, the Spotify playlists like that are tricky because they can change at any moment, but there are a few things you can do.

The first option would be to search Spotify to see if someone saved the playlist in the state you liked it. Just type in "Focus Now" or whatever playlist you're looking for and then click or tap "see all" on the playlists tab. What you're looking for is not the original Spotify playlist, as you say it got updated, but instead a user-created playlist with the same songs that were in the old playlist, before the changes. In a couple of minutes, I was able to find this playlist, I'm not sure if it's what you're looking for but you never know!

Once you find a user-created playlist you like, you can just follow it, but since the user can change it at any time, it might be smart to create a new playlist and add all the songs from the user playlist to it.

Option two is that if you recently listened to the playlist before it was changed, you can check to see if you can rebuild the playlist from your song history. If you're on a computer, you can go to your queue and then to the history tab.

Unfortunately, that is all I can suggest. A good idea when it comes to playlists not made by you is that it's always smart to save the music for your use because those playlists can change all the time.

I hope I was able to help you out, let me know how it goes!
