[Android] Rearrange Tracks inside a Playlist

On my iPod I can manually move my songs around that are in my playlist, but I can't do the same on my phone which is what I mostly use. It would be easier to have that option on all devices.

Hey!

 
The Spotify Community team here.
 

We're pleased to confirm that this feature should now be available to all Android users.
We'd recommend double-checking that you're running the latest version of Spotify.
 
Once again, thanks for showing your support here in the Community.

You can't be serious! This is a basic function of listening to music! A playlist is meant to be altered and perfected so that the listening experience is optimized for the user (at the very least for a paying user). This failure to satisfy customers is just as asinine if not worse than your lack of response to the thousands of requests to be able to see users who follow your playlists. **bleep** is going on in the development offices? Why are the users ignored so very much? Help us understand with a reasonable answer. Please! It's the least you can do.

I really hope this feature gets added soon. This one basic feature would really enhance the Spotify mobile app.

I've Just switched from ios to android and amazed that the basic functionality to reorder playlists is not available on android. Considering cancelling premium and moving to Google play. This should be an easy fix.

@Noah Enhance... think of it as if your asking for a PLAY button that will "enhance" the program... 🙂 Being able to reorder songs on a playlit its BASIC rather than an enhanced feature 🙂

@ARC84 We are amazed too, its been 4 years since our first amazing discovery 🙂

Noah

@grbsoft True, it is a pretty basic feature. Hopefully they add it in soon!

Pretty pathetic...this is such a basic feature. 'Annual update'? You guys think this is a 'good idea' but have let it go for years with no plan to implement?

 

Dragging songs to rearrange is already available for the Android queue. The same feature found in every basic music player should be available for playlists. 

 

As a paying customer, this is an extremely aggravating omission from the Android app.

Happy new year! Any plans to implement this basic feature, new year's resolution perhaps? Set up a gofundme page for the dev, clearly from the last official response the Android team do whatever they want, what's in this pipeline? VR Karaoke? We're almost 4 years from the date of this suggestion and you're working on VR Karaoke right? Can we reorder the songs in VR Karaoke?

 

How many votes or years before a "good idea" becomes something you find the energy to work on? Hey I'm taking moving back to Google Play Music "under consideration", "watch this space" I've talked about internally? ¯\_(-_-)_/¯

 

Keep the comments open please

 

Sincerely yours
Paying customer

I really need to rearrange the songs on my playlist.  As a fitness instructor who does interval training,

it is very important to be able to manipulate fast and slow songs.  I know there are numerous instructors who use Spotify.

Messaged a couple of the recent posts to Spotify Cares on Twitter. Predictng the response will be, We hear ya! Sending to the team.

In another words, Spotify Doesn't Care! 

 

Happy New Year! More comments in the Spotify Community regarding rearrange songs on a play list on the Android app. 4 years and counting. Maybe this is our year? 

Here are a couple new posts...

And this one...
