[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.

It' the biggest difference between iOS and Android Spotify and drives me up the wall. Sort it out

I am dipping my toes into Spotify as a current Google Music user.  Being able to move songs around in a playlist is a "no brainer" to me.  In Google Music it is as simple as holding your finger on the track and sliding it up or down to place it.   Spotify is the king of music streaming services,  I am so surprised this wasn't a launch feature years and years ago.  I am more surprised that it doesn't look like this is a feature coming anytime soon.

 

I can't be the only one on here that enjoys crafting a perfect mix tape.   Please consider making this feature (that your competitors have) more of a priority.

If we can do it on the desktop and in the queue, it shouldnt be hard to do it from within a playlist in Android. Please consider this in the pipeline soon, it will greatly enhance our experience plus eliminate my need for a desktop app.

The best part for me is that I can't use the desktop app (don't have Windows or Mac, and the unsupported/unofficial Linux version doesn't work at all). I use the web player on my desktop, but that doesn't support reordering playlists either. So I can't do it at all, making Spotify playlists close to useless.

 

 

Please? I don't have anything to say. Everyone likes this feature.

##- Yeah, that all sounds good, Isvillacis, IF YOU HAVE A FRACKING PC. But
for exclusive Android uses (Chromebook & pixel in my case) this just isn't
suitable. -##

I think Amazon's music app does this. 😛

LOL, of course it does. Every music player software ever released, including Winamp 1.0 in 1997, does this. Except Spotify.

@Groggster and @CaptainDubious that's wrong... Spotify actually does this, but only in the Play Queue, not in the playlist itself (try it, add some songs to the queue and you'll see you can reorder them 🙂

So that's the worst part, its not about "I don't know how to do that in Android" it's a "I don't want/care to do that in Android" policy.

However, as some Spotify forum helper (which doesnt answer personal emails btw) said, keep voting! Perhaps at 100,000 votes it will be considered, off course by that time music will be inserted right on the brain through an implanted chip and hopefully Spotify will no longer exists 🙂
