My Question or Issue

With the new desktop UI (Windows 1.1.58.820.g2ae50076-a) when creating a playlist from an album, the playlist name is set to the "Album" name. The old UI set it to "Artist - Album" which made a lot more sense. Now for each playlist I have to manually edit and type in the artist, which is really annoying.

As a side note  this behavior on mobile is even worse, the playlist name defaults to "playlist #xyz". It would be great if this was also fixed. See https://community.spotify.com/t5/Android/Default-Playlist-Name/m-p/4380353#M126474

Hi @alipi,

Thanks for reaching out about this in the Community!

We'd recommend you share your feedback on how the changes have influenced your experience here. 

This feedback thread is being closely monitored so that the new Desktop app can be polished even more in future updates.

Regarding the naming in the mobile app - If you think other users might also like to have the old naming pattern, go ahead and create an idea on the relevant idea board. We always take new ideas and feedback into consideration to improve the app. Here you can read more on how ideas work.

We also suggest checking this help article for useful tips on how to submit an idea. As a heads-up, it's good to know that the higher the number of votes an idea gets, the more likely it is for the idea to be implemented.

Hope this helps. Let us know if you have any more questions.

Cheers.

Thanks. The whole idea vs issue thing is really confusing. If you believe it's better to have it as an idea then please move it. Personally I wouldn't consider a fix for a basic feature that worked before, but has been broken on mobile for several years and now also broken on desktop in another way as a new idea.
