[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.

Can you do that with Tidal?

I know that has a downside of not being able to add your own tracks onto a playlist if they are not available. And that's a feature I need which puts me off joining.

Plus they also charge extra for brits. A service that charges us the same for the same I might join.

[EarlPurple]

Yet another update, still not there.

You're wasting my bandwidth updating my software for no reason.

Is this 2002 and we're burning disks? Why can't we do something so simple as re-order a playlist?

This simple idea has been here since 2014.

Oh my god this is ridiculous not having this.

As a paying "Premium" member for about four years now, I feel like you owe it to me and every other Android user to have this "basic" function available or at the very least explain why this isn't possible.

You must have received so many complaints or even petitions over the last five years regarding this because it is a very frustrating function to NOT have. Though your Android users are no doubt vastly smaller than your iPhone users, I'd think you'd want to keep them on Android because, if for instance I change to iPhone I'm probably just going to go with Apple music or maybe even TIDAL. I dunno. Anything is possible. It's a whole new world out there now that I've left my little Android pond...

Anyway, as our society is consistently and inevitably moving towards mobile (your users are probably close to 70% mobile now vs desktop?), it'd be nice to have this function while on the go, so I don't have to wait until I get home and dust off my laptop (I haven't owned a true desktop since 2005) to change a song I hastily added before another song. 

This would also be a huge advantage to you as a company because I'm sure you want your users "actively in app"  as much as possible. Which being able to create and edit playlists whenever we want, we would... no doubt... so addictively... do. The amount of time that your Android users would be navigating, searching new songs, checking out other Features/Artists/Playlists would skyrocket. There has to be some kind of monetary incentive there for you ...Or I guess I could just "wait until I go home" and then forget and watch Netflix. 

As someone who grew up making mixtapes on cassettes and then burning my playlists to CD's, the next logical step would be to have this available in all formats for you digital media streaming service. You are, in a sense, robbing and suppressing your Android users of expressing our creativity because, like any creative moment, it doesn't wait for you to sit in an hour of LA traffic and to get home. 

Everyone knows a good playlist is edited many times, for instance, say I wanted to make an "Intro to the Doors" playlist (currently in the works) for my girlfriend, who has never listened to them before and I realize that one song ("Break on Through") is just a bit too upbeat or out of place to be between slower jams like "Love Street" and "Queen of the Highway". HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO EDIT THIS AT THAT MOMENT!? ...without deleting the song and then searching for it all over again just to add it to the end of the playlist?! "Break on Through" at the end of an "Intro to the Doors" playlist!?

I do, however, want to apologize if this function hasn't been added because of some crazy technological blockade that you guys have been working tirelessly to conquer, only to fall to your hands in defeat each and every time. Or if legal matters have made it so that as soon as you try to get this function launched, another hurdle or hula-hoop to jump through pops up, so much so that you get more and more stuck in a web of legal matters and endless hula-hoops.

If this is the case then I do deeply apologize, but if not, then I believe I am owed an apology because from the very first day that I decided to take a chance and use Spotify, I noticed that this basic function of moving a song up or down a list was not available but I assumed you would eventually get your shi.."farts" together and get this function available. As a very loyal paying customer for four years now I'm officially tired of waiting. I will clearly, ever so patiently, await your reply.

Hey everyone who want's this to be a feature,

I built a simple website to reorder your playlists http://www.drewatkinson.me/reorderify/

[EarlPurple]

http://www.drewatkinson.me/reorderify/

works to an extent but:

1. I can only see a very small subset of my playlists

2. Dragging a track to the bottom does not work.

@EarlPurple
It's obviously basic, something I threw together in a couple of days.
1. Those are only the playlists that you created and own, and the only ones
that the API lets me edit. I asked the Spotify team on StackOverflow and
this is how they said to do it. The API doesn't have support for editing
"collaborative" playlists where you can have a friend edit it.o
2. I'll investigate that and get back to you.

Hi, with respect to your work I don't think this is something anywant wants. I think most of wants this in to be a native feature of the Spotify app we get with the service we pay for and not use some url we need to know. Can you share the StackOverflow link? I would like to see their arguments.

[user-removed]

Believe me, I'm with you. This is silly that such a basic feature isn't
there. Especially something that they offer in their API.
Here's the SO link
