[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.

Just another drop on the sea: I think this is a truly oversight, not caring about users, do people on spotify even use the spotify mobile app? I don't think so...

 

But anyways, adding a useless feature like "Stranger thigs" mode and not being able to reorganize playlists and songs it's baffling to me.

 

I was just reorgizing my library from the desktop app and the playlist changed on my phone in real time, c'mon! You obviosly know how to make things work.

 

@__spo__ why don't you care about your paying "premium" users?

Seriously Spotify, we are in 2017 and we cannot reorder songs in a playlist?

This is tiring. Please fix this.

This **bleep** is so ridiculously basic I'm ashamed for you guys.

I've just had another useless twitter DM thread...  I'm afraid nothing is going to change, they don't care about it. Unless the app stops playing songs they wont change anything about it.

They doing nothing about this may actually be incompetence - have a look at this survey results about statisfaction of engineers in the big or famous tech companies https://www.inc.com/business-insider/tech-employees-anonymously-rate-companies-work-facebook-google-...

Only about 30% of Spotify engineers think they are compensated fairly. So the good productive ones are probably working elsewhere.

 

I wonder e.g. how the moderators of this forum and they social media operators feel knowing they give us so much of a disservice and blatant disrespect.

They don't want to do it for whatever reason they don't want to. I've posted to their CEO and CTO on LinkedIn and Twitter. Customer care naah! 

66 pages of really not happy paying customers for over two years. Nothing. I've given up. Spotify is what it is. 

Do notice the latest release opens really fast. So that's something. Rearrange play lists just not gonna happen. Ironically you can rearrange songs in a play queue!

How can this not be a priority? This is some fecking garbage.

I miss grooveshark.

Wow, just signed up for the free 30 day trial tonight and this was one of the first things I noticed was missing.  It's so blatantly obvious, I can't believe that Spotify has let this fester for so long!  Such negligence and disregard for Android users.  This is a fundamentally basic element of any music application and as such, is a total deal breaker.  I will be cancelling the free trial when it expires.

Spotify does not want to do it! Won't get done.

For sure this is needed!
