[Android] Rearrange Tracks inside a Playlist

[julianun]

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.

This is ridiculous. I sent an email today regarding this feature to spotify's support address and I was low-key told that we android users suck

Your basic functunality comment is "spot" on.  And remember, it's not just the Android phones.  In my case, I went from a Windows laptop to a Chromebook, which only allows me to use the web-based version of the Spotify app.  So, even convieiently sitting at my kitchen table when I have the time does not allow me to do so either.

Unfortuately, my OCD type-mind is starting to win out.  I've been seriouly considering moving to Google Play with my music library.  Another issue I have with Spotify that Google Play has mastered is in regard to songs that are not on their app.  Bootleg, out of print, re-mixed, or local artists that I've transferred onto my computer are not able to be played on a phone or tablet (Android or IOS).  I am not a casual music fan.  I'm a collector.  I already use Google Play for listening to those songs in my car on my phone because I'm not able to do so wih Spotify.  That's basically two strikes against them; I was willing to accept one.

 My main complaint, and why I haven't made the switch to Google Play yet, is the look.  Spotify's design is so far superior to Google Play's.  Google's is just unattractive and ugly, quite frankly.  But every daily I seem to get a little bit closer to switching.

Absolutely, this is a basic. Google Play Music has this feature too.

Ok then I'm staying with deezer (premium). Too bad for you

[Joemommaspotify]

consideredguilt... The really bizarre thing is Spotify has great tools on a desktop to organize music into folders, sub folders and playlists by single tracks or entire albums, yet they refuse to bring these tools to Android and apparently, Google Chrome books. Having come from Google Play, there really are no organization tools, but you can at least move tracks within a play list on mobile. I also agree that GP is really not a great UI. So Spotify, your move!

Someone here suggested Deezer. I gave it a try, and I love it.  I'm cancelling Spotify today.  It was pretty amazing being able to rearrange my playlists.  I'm sold! Thank you!

I recently confirmed that Google music this functionality on Android, so
thought I'd give it a go - at the moment, I'm running both in parallel...

My plan is:

1) Take a week or two to check that Google music has most of the tracks
I currently listen to
2) Export my Spotify playlists
3) Cancel Spotify premium
4) Confirm on this forum and message Spotify that I have cancelled for
this reason

I encourage the rest of you to do the same.

What about rearranging songs in a personally made playlist on my iPhone or tablet?  I wanted to start with certain songs and work up to the others, it doesn't seem to be an option.

Hmm. Okay.

So Spotify...

If this isnt "your pipeline," should we contact Android about a Feature that belongs to YOUR app? 

Sounds so weird. And the fact that this is ignored so much makes it even more weird. Especially because its been YEARS! 

Shouldn't take longer than a few days to fix.

THE REAL SUSPICION

Like I seriously don't see another reason haha thats how ridiculous it is. 

SPOTIFY has some DEAL with APPLE so that there is an INCENTIVE to SWITCH TO IPHONE. 

Really, I'm over this service.

At this point I don't believe Spotify really has an android pipeline, they
just slightly change the UI every few months. I also have a ton of bugs
with spotify, as in all downloads disappearing, it not recognizing the SD
card etc.

I've had to completely wipe it and re-install on my S7 so many times, total
pain.

This feature should be of the absolute highest importance, all my playlists
are in utter disarray. What other features could possibly take precedence? Especially since Apple has had it for years, showing that they do understand that it is a needed feature. I'd at least like some kind of explanation. 

As soon as I'm out of my spotify inclusive cell contract I'll switch to a
competitor. Utter **bleep** show, which is sad because it has so much potential. Luckily there are tools to transfer my heaps of (again utterly disorganized) playlists.
