[Android] Rearrange Tracks inside a Playlist

Submitted by on ‎2014-02-19 06:41 PM
Status: implemented

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.

I've taken to using the online streaming website while I'm at work yet rearranging my playslist is STILL not available. It is only available in the use of the software/program which is very limiting.

This is the only reason I've switched to another streaming service a couple of days ago. It's completely frustrating that I can't listen ONLY to the songs I want of an album without having to skip them manually. If I'm commuting I can handle it, but if I want to leave the phone playing through some speakers while cooking I have no choice but to stop what I'm doing and go skip them manually everytime a ballad pops. Not that I have anything against ballads, but they don't always fit the mood. FGS, even the dumbest music players allows you to rearrange the queue and the playlists. I guess the Leading Music Service Throne is too comfortable, and they don't seem to realize many people don't use their computers anymore.

Holy crap! This feature just arrived on android. I queued an album and under playlist view I can drag the 3-dot menu of each song up and down! Thanks so much. 🙂 Now to cancel Google play....

Yes indeed, holy **bleep**! After years of waiting, Spotify's Android app FINALLY has drag and drop reordering of tracks in the play queue. With this, and adding The Beatles and George Harrison to the catalog, Spotify truely no equal for streaming music services.

Correct me if I'm wrong but although you can now queue songs you still cannot edit the actual playlist. Right?

I think you're right and everyone is thinking wrong that they can edit the playlist. I've tried to change the order of my songs and still it doesn't happen!!!

Unless I'm doing something wrong, this is still not working for me.

You're doing it wrong then. Check for app updates. I can't attach an image but the queue view is now different and shows a select box at the left of each item and the burger item on each track is now a handle that affords drag to re-order tracks. The app update might be limited to certain countries, search XDA for a new version.
