[All Platforms][Your Library] Increase maximum Songs allowed in Your Music

I feel like the maximum amount of songs allowed in one playlist, and subsequently in "Songs" playlist under the new "Collections" feature, should be more than 10,000.

 

Quite frankly it should be unlimited. 

 

We are paying for a service but limited on how many songs we are able to save? That is absurd to me.

 

I recently started saving all of my albums into "Collections" and got stuck at about 1/4 of the way through - 10,000 songs has been reached and I am no longer able to save any more albums.

 

PLEASE INCREASE MAX NUMBER OF SONGS IN COLLECTION FEATURE!!!

WHAT IS A COLLECTION IF YOU HAVE TO LIMIT YOUR TASTE???

Updated on 2020-05-26

Hey,

Thanks for coming to the Idea Exchange.

We're excited to be marking this idea as implemented!
We've now removed the limit on saved items in Your Library, making it possible to save songs, and albums on Spotify to your heart's content.

As the app has changed quite a bit since this idea was submitted, please be aware that some functionality is now different. This change does not impact the limit on the number of songs in a playlist other than your Liked Songs.

For more info, check out this blog post.

This is bull. What is the reason for this? I just ran into this today on my account while trying to add a new album on my android. Never ran into this issue with rdio or groove. I don't want to change and go elsewhere again... although apparently spotify is losing tonnes while paying artists nothing (recently court ordered to now go to 15.1% as opposed to 10.5% to make matters worse for them if already losing money) so maybe it only a matter of time.... but seems like that all around the music streaming industry...

Ticking off 1 percent of your customers is not a viable business practice.  Imagine a restaurant that serves 200 people a day and each day they deliberately give terrible service to 2 people.  They lose  2 customers per day and they tell their friends to keep away from the restaurant and go to a competitor instead.  The restaurant won't last long.  Spotify needs to fix this issue now before it looses too many customers services that don’t have this arbitrary limit.

3333 songs? **bleep** the Beatles and their solo stuff are over 1000 of that. What about the rest of my music????

Hi all,  i would completely agree.  10000 songs is simply to few,  i also have the same problem and i even haven't add more than around 30% of my music... What about if you would some extra option for those 1% people who would use it?  For example paid more space?

Bump. 

Almost 700k people are dealing with this,  Spotify. Fix it or they will leave. I've already started moving music to Google. It breaks my heart.

Im also warning others about this too. You're costing yourself real money by putting this off. I'll be back after you address this and I'd recommend you to anyone! For now, so long.

The thing is, when looking at this from another context - not implementing this feature is alienating the base of Spotify's most passionate users. Passionate users that would stay, pay, and use your product in the long term if there were less limitations.

I was basically forced to come to spotify, as microsoft was no longer running their music store. Now I figured at the time, that it was about the same price, so I switched. However I see everything I am missing, with your half baked app. 

 

With Groove on Microsoft mobile 10 and windows 10 PC  we had unlimited downloads, it displayed the number of tracks and with a tap of an icon whilst playing music, we were given the music video as well, not to mention our music was also sync'd on up to 10 devices.

 

I wrongly (obviously) assumed that we would be getting at least the same level of service, but how wrong could I have been. Quite honestly, if I didnt know better I would think that spotify was a new startup and had only just started business.

 

Spotify get you act together. I should be able to download as many tracks as I want and be able to play them on the devices I choose. This idea of only 3333 track per device is crazy and then just because you download an album it adds an uses an extra track ( download 10 tracks from 1 album which then becomes 11 tracks basically for a bit of artwork) you lot have to be kidding.

 

Its no wonder you have so many free users, instead of premium customers. Why am I paying almost $12 for less than half the service that I had, expecially when Microsoft was cheaper anyway. Honestly  am not even sure why you have so many free customers, when there are so many other streaming services that do it better.

 

It these limits are due to your licensing requirements, then I can only suggest you need new

negotiators that can get you a better deal or you lot are just being cheap about your license agreements. As far as your percentages of users go, ask yourself this "are the 99% of user going to complain if you give them more" the answer is NO. So in this case the group that really matter is the 1% that you are not servicing adequitely. NOW FIX THIS.It truely not that hard. To coin a phrase from a well known company "Just Do It". After all, people have been discussing this since 2013, you have cost yourselves more in time and money defending your actions and so called licensing agreements. And having run a licensed broadcast radio station I know enough about licensing, to know that you are just not doing it right.

Because of this I am starting to look into other music services. 
Almost 6000 votes on this issue and no reply/comment from Spotify.

 

It's sad because I have put a lot of work into my music library in Spotify and been a user for a long time.

Accept the feckin obvious fact that - eventually - the 1% is inevitably to become the 100%. Granted; the rate of complainants' vitriol will become less effective as an exponential increase in the amount of those disaffected customers deign to experiment with your competitors' services. Surely you acknowledge that your staticians' analyses predict an unfortunate downturn in your graphs that depict your future as not at all viable. For **bleep**'s sake, Spotify... give us more than 10,000 songs or give me a job as a policy-maker!
