[0.8.8] Bring back total playlist length!

[MattSuda]

UPDATE: Playlist length is back in desktop version 0.9.4.185.g7545a404 😃

Update 0.8.8.349 for the desktop client removed the indicator to see how long each playlist is in terms of time.

BRING THIS BACK -- and PLEASE add the playlist length indicator to the web player and the mobile apps too!

Who at Spotify thought this was acceptable?

If you DO bring this back... make it more accurate!

3.5 hours should not show as 3 hours! There is a huge difference!

*People get mad because you are dealing with their music. Music means everything to us, and when you screw it up, things aren't pretty. It's just like me going into your house and rearranging everything and in the process I stole something and left the toilet unflushed on the way out.*

Showing my support. Bring back the playlist times! Without them much of spotify's usefulness is gone!

I'm glad I'm not the only one who misses this feature! I really hope it will come back, making playlists like "30 minutes of X" or "2012 in one hour" is a lot more difficult now..

[Choekaas]

I fully agree with the rest of you.

The duration of playlists are very important to me. Why was this removen? 

Please bring it back!

Just to add my .02 to the already loud list of complaints. I also use Spotify (premium) for a fitness class and darnit... I have to export my lists to Excel and sum to get the total amount of time. I'm getting ready to put together a 2 hour class for Saturday, and you're really going to make me add these up? REALLY??

I'm a spinning instructor and this WAS a great feature to know how many songs I could play in my hour spin!! For now, I've been using a time calulator to manually add up the times of the songs. ANNOYING!!! Please bring back the total time of my playlists and even make it specific to minutes and seconds!

Fitness instructors would GREATLY appreciate it!!

This is unbelievably frustrating!  This makes the playlists almost totally useless, especially for someone who works out.  Just spent ten minutes adding them up on a calculator.  How could they get rid of this and call it an "upgrade?"  

[katkaterson]

I was thinking about upgrading to Spotify Premium - definitely won't if playist length isn't a feature.

GOOD NEWS: Playlist length will be coming back soon in an update! Keep checking back for updates.
