10,000 song limit

[cknapp123]

This is more just a plea to the people at spotify:

Why have you put a limit on how many songs we can have in our own music? It just makes no sense!! I've filled up my 10,000 song limit allowance already and now want to save more music but can't.

The quicker this can be changed the better as I am seriously considering cancelling my subscription

[tomharding]

You know, if the uncapping isn't an option, they should just give us the option to include all the playlists within "your songs" thus negating the need for the way to save songs in the first place. 

I've probably already added this idea in this thread, but still. 

There should be 4 categories - Albums, Artists, Playlists and Songs. The last being a culmination of the 3 proceeding it. It would simplify the structure infinitely.  

Or better still, just rip off iTunes. I'm honestly not bothered any more, ANYTHING has to be easier than the way it's currently structured.

 @am622, I can't conciously defer people from Spotify. I like it as service. I feel that I've gotten so much value for the £800 I've spent since 2010.

Given the streaming market, Spotify is leaps and bounds above the rest. The annoying thing is that it's still so far behind what it should be.

It's only going to be a matter of time before a team of forward thinking UX experts, software developers, billionaires and music moguls come together and put out a service so competitive that it blows Spotify, Beats, Google Music and Pandora away. 

Spotify's constant refusal to modernise in the face of growing competition is going to eventually bite it in the backside.  

I think the costs of maintaining streaming services (licensing etc) is keeping that future service from materializing. It's going to happen sooner or later though.

+1 to the immense disappointment in this limit. Might be time to finally move to google music. PLEASE consider lifting this limit, Spotify 😞

[Beirutbomber]

I finally found Deezer, it's high quality sound, unlimited tracks, simple to use and the same price. For me the sound quality is what i need as i have a very good quality HI FI system ( components) .
It's easy to use, select an album and just simply listen to it... no arty farty messing about with everything you don't need that chokes your user experience...

Guys... (and girls...) Does ANY of you think this whole thread makes any sense and Spotify will read, let alone - they will change this?!? 

It is absolutely more than ridiculous that we - as fare-paying-PREMIUM-users - are being limited in using this product on a fare base. Yes, we are limited in our choices! Why do we pay to be limited?  And what is so PREMIUM to this paid service except leaving out the commercials?

There is only a minority who report this 10.000 limit issue to be unsatisfying, annoying and to be indignant with. When Spotify looks at the percentage of how many people actually has reached 10.000 songs in their personal library, of course there is less than 1% who reaches the 10.000 limit! Because YOU CAN'T reach it! I got 9855 songs and this is called to be my max of 10.000 songs!

Please tell me lads & gents, how many of you are UNDER this limit and is told that they've reached the max of 10.000: I dare you to check your exact number of songs by going to your song list (songs in your music), then select them all (win: ctrl+a / mac: cmd+a) and drag to see the exact number of songs. 9 out of 10 it's LESS than this 10.000 while you've been said that you have reached your 10.000 limit! 

Therefore: Dear Spotify:  You are fooling yourself with this explanation! I bet there are way more users who experience this problem; at least 222 pages of negative comments on this topic only on THIS site!!! And that's only those users who take the effort to report it! Did you already hear about the fact that only less than 40 percent of ALL unsatisfied people report their complaint at the responsible organization and besides that all the others (that's more than 60 percent of all unsatisfied people) tell their negative experience to a minimum of 15 other people instead of reporting it to you, Spotify? (If this <40% is already able to know WHERE they can report it!) Above that: and this is just a free tip: Of the non-complainants, 80% leaves to another provider/supplier without telling you at all!

So please don't come with arguments that only 1 % of the users reaches the 10.000 limit. You should take these comments more serious. You make a monkey out of yourself if you really think and take this measurement as an indicator of all the serious complaints and users that are annoyed about this limitation. If music should free your soul, you keep your customers detained by setting a limit on their choices!

So for all of you who want to get rid of this 10.000 limitation: First of all: make sure you've logged in on this Community and vote for this “Live Idea”. Make sure that we bundle all similar – liked threads: So click on the following link to bundle all votes in one and the same thread: https://community.spotify.com/t5/Live-Ideas/Increase-maximum-songs-allowed-in-quot-Your-Music-quot/i...

It is actually absurd that we have to vote to make Spotify change this! :@)

Second: Share this message as wide as you can or IF you can find shorter lines to the Spotify Management People let them read this post to wake them up.

Third: Ok, let me say that it’s not all bad there is at Spotify (they could have a better accessible and more direct support opportunities though) there are also a lot of good features. But these can also be found at other providers: Apple Music / Google Play Music for example, with much wider or no limitations. If you (users) really want to change this: LETS SET AN ULTIMATUM DATE TO abandon this limitation before we move and migrate to another music streaming service. This Issue has been reported by users since April 2014. Now we’re almost three years further on, no changes are been made since. It’s time to make this chance Spotify… Please provide us with an unlimited personal library. Let's say... before the end of April 2017? You’ve got enough time to do this, didn’t you? Three years… That should be a real and reasonable timeframe… isn’t it? In these three years, you could make a real (and proper) inventory of what the need of enlargement of this song limit really is instead of giving yourself just a false quote on how custom behavior works in relation to complaints handling. And if you are still blind to see and stick to your position that it’s only less than 1 % of your users that reaches the limit… what in god sake is the problem to increase this limit for “those few” people…?

Spotify: Don’t give us stupid arguments… What you tell us is “We don’t care about customer satisfaction at all”, “We don’t take our customers seriously”, “We don’t listen to the needs of our customers”. That are three ways you did NOT learn on your marketing-based-education to get and KEEP customers. When you want to keep us, take some action now! We’re still asking you friendly to disable this limit real soon before a lot of unsatisfied users will get their needs for music elsewhere.

I know what you're saying and I totally agree with you. I, for one, has abandoned spotify. Whilst it was a great concept, it was a great concept at its time of inception, however times have moved on and spotify no longer is alone in cyberspace providing music . I have never been satisfied with the quality of sound which is provided but i put up with it , then i reached the MAX limit. Then i became frustrated because i never received any constructive feedback from them either nor were any of the really important issues, that make a music fan truly enjoy music, addressed.
With all respect to spotify, i can only say thank you for what you did provide, but also, with the same respect it's time for me to move on. Good bye spotify and good luck.Before I finish whinging i will say that as an employee ( not of sootify) and as a human, i am expected to evolve and move with the times to survive, it's a general rule of life, and like spotify if I can't move on and change, i too will be left out in the cold. So goodbye and good luck

C'mon Spotify!

Those online and offline song limits are ridiculous!

Any updates on this? Anything?

[Abbeysisland]

Spotify isn't worth the money. It's a glorified jukebox. Capping the amount of saved songs is like capping the amount of bookmarks you can have in Chrome. It makes no sense. It's for people who have very narrow tastes in music and not for people with extensive music collections.

Hopefully something better will come around.

[okmichel]

Its lit

[DÆMAN]

I feel played, just selected all my songs and I have barely 5.5k. What is this, Spotify? I want to be able to as closely replicate my physical music collection with your service, and this arbitrary limit is not only preventing that, the rules by which we are being limited are falsely reported to us and arbitrary. Remove these restrictions please, it does no one any good. 

[lamenting]

@BeirutBomber,

Deezer has a smaller limit than Spotify: 2000 songs.

"With regards to limits, our default favourite tracks section / playlist is up to 2,000 by web / PC or Mac app and 1,000 playlists with up to 2,000 track in them and you can favourite up to 2,000 albums and artists to your profile. The only thing is at the moment with the mobile / tablet app this caps it all at 1,000 of each for everything mentioned above, but it is something we are working on for the future."

[arhm517]

I cannot stand this limit. It's such a turn off while using Spotify! I used to love that I could grow my collection and have such diverse music played but now I have to go through and evaluate it all. That's not what a music experience (that is paid for) should be like! I should be concerned about the artistry rather than the song count, ok?! Why would I continue to pay for premium if I am still limited? Is spotify going to charge us a higher monthly rate for more space next?? If they do, I'm leaving which is sad because this is the only flaw. Please fix this so I can enjoy my music collection once again rather than sitting with anxiety over which albums to abandon.

[okmichel]

COME ON SPOTIFY WHAT THE **bleep**?

[noattention]

Just hit the limit, and received a notice on mobile that I needed to delete songs from my library if I ever want to add a new song again. Not a reasonable solution for me, so I had to leave for Apple Music. Will likely rejoin if they up the limit to something reasonable.

[trusttorust]

Just found out about this limit. I just want to add all of my albums to the Spotify app so I can have them all on the go in one spot. A friend suggested that I upgrade to the premium version as he thought it would give me unlimited adds and so I did. I added all of my albums with no issue and then as soon as I logged out and logged back in, it had dropped all of the albums over the 10,000 track limit. So rediculous. I'll continue to want to use this service to build playlists but, I'm just going to downgrade to the free service. There are no benefits to paying for this service. Don't put limitatitons on something, just have it work for everyone. No sense paying for this.

[Bugequalfeature]

Seriously spotify make some ¤%&/ stupid choices and decisions. It's so user unfriendly, and so is their support, tragic.

[Bugequalfeature]

Haha, coming here and complaining, seems like they have server problems.

I'm logged in at someone else...

*golfclap*

[juls281]

Goodbye spoti. Already cancelled my subscription for this stupid limit.

[nicolund]

Seriously Spotify, What is the reason for this limit? It's not like we are using up a notable amount of harddisk-space storing this data!

Recently tryed to list my old CD collection in Spotify, based on the simple thought that ofcourse Spotify could save this collection under 'Your Music'. But no, after 8+hours of browsing and saving I hit the limit at around 600 albums. With 150+ CDs left! 😞

And please don't tell me that it is to make a great experience for 99% and an okay experience for the 1%!

Here are som thought on why i don't believe in that statement:

1. First of all I simply doubt that only 1% would want to store more then 600 albums (and i'm not talking about playlists here).
2. If it's becourse your apps gets laggy or slow when handleling data larger then 10.000 that I have saved in 'My music', how does that effect the (fictional) 99% that doesn't have 10000+ songs saved?
3. If your code is written so that my 10000+ songs saved effects other users experience, then I would suggest rewriting that code! 

[jdawg88]

Inevitably more and more users will run up against this limitation? How sustainable is this?
