[Mobile] Remove current Song from Playlist

[Hansholz]

Hi

This is a usability improvement for the Mobile devices. Sometimes I want to remove songs from a playlist. This is currently quite a long task to perform on the mobile device.

1. I first have to select the right playlist.
2. Then I have to locate the song, which is not listed alphabetically. They are listed in the order I built the playlist with the oldest first and newest last.Some of my playlists have up to 900 songs in them and scrolling slowly can be difficult and timeconsuming.
3. Then click on the "pencil" icon and  delete the track I don't want.

I think it would be a better user experience if we could delete songs as easy as it is to add them to a playlist. 

So here's a suggestion for the mobile app, look there's even a space for it on the info page! 

Cheers

J

I have been contacted by user eviljojo22 who has developed a Plugin that creates a playlist named "Remove from Spotify" and every 45 minutes minutes it deletes every song in it and also in every playlist in which that same song appears (which may not be what you want). However, this is an option that may help you before Spotify gets round to providing this very simple function. Good luck (and Thank you EvilJojo22)

I have been contacted by user bamboony who has developed an android app that might solve the problem in the short term:

removing current song from the playlist

Still not resolved after 11 years since original submission. Just another example how Spotify treating idea submission. I have tried open another similar complain and they closed it referring to already submitted idea (this one). Thanks a bunch Spotify .....

Why would we even bother to submit ideas?

I COMPLETELY CONCUR. Spotify is not tone-deaf, they are flat-out deaf when
it comes to obvious and reasonable requests for improvement in their
customers' listening experience. Shame on Spotify.

They already provided a response that works for this; If you're playing a song from the "Now Playing" screen and want to get right to its place in the playlist, just click on the Name of the playlist at the top of your mobile device screen and Boom! you're there. The caveat is: this doesn't work if you have enhanced shuffle active.

nope, this is not the solution and feature i'm asking for (and such obvious feature should be here).

Some of my playlist have over 500 tracks, and I don't have a time to scroll and look for that one track to remove,

and my playlist because of this grow even bigger.....

Currently, it's really hard to remove a song from a playlist in the Android app. You need to really dig inside and takes a lot of effort to remove a song.

It would be great to be able to remove a song from a playlist directly during the playback screen.
