[All Platforms] Remember Position in Playlist / Album

[wigglebit]

Please remember the current song playing in a playlist so if I switch away to a different playlist and then switch back, Spotify will know where I left off.

I often can't finish a playlist right away or my mood changes so I might switch to a different playlist. Later, I want to finish the previous playlist, not start over again.

This is a basic feature which is bugged or never has been implemented and even shouldn't have to go through "User Ideas".

I also posted an idea regarding "open playlist at the position of the currently played song". It's unpractical when you play a song of a long playlist eg. „liked songs“ and you want to go to the songs position. Right now on the iPhone you have to manually scroll down.

This idea has thousands of votes and yet spotify is ignoring it. I am really thinking to switch the streaming provider.

Yes - bookmark feature, especially in long playlists, is really needed.  Scrolling through a long list is particularly clumsy on a mobile phone  Also, when I am using a play list when driving, I usually have to start at beginning as it is dangerous to scroll while driving.

This would actually be very useful for podcasts:

1. Listening to music

2. Fancy a podcast episode

3. Pick up where I left off in 1.

Now I have to take note of the playlist and song I was listening to in 1. before I hop into podcasts.

This definitely should be a feature: the ability to save and restore “listening sessions” at will.

Everytime when I switch back to a playlist, it start plat the first song instead of the last song I played.

Please remember the position of the last song I played in a playlist, so that when I switch back to the playlist, I can continue listening the songs I never listened instead of listen all over again.

Why are you not implementing this? A simple button to scroll to current song playing would be sufficient. 

I am not thinking about using shorter playlists.

How about this very simple idea at least for the time being: Number the individual playlist songs in the app the same way they're numbered when you access Spotify through a web browser. I can remember a number or jot it down. Then all I have to do is scroll back to that same number when I return to a particular playlist. Remembering the song you left off with doesn't help because you have no idea where that song is within the playlist. But if the songs were numbered (again, already a built-in feature using Spotify via a web browser) you could just scroll right back to that number. Maybe a better question is, why aren't the songs already numbered in the app like they are on a web browser?

Please add functionality to save spot in playlist so when you go back to it after playing something else it will start playing at the same position of the list. I'm currently having to manually write down everything down to keep track of where I'm up to.

It's annoying in long playlists, which in my case is most of them, to return to one the next day only to have to scroll and look for the last played song...

Could not agree more. This is probably the most annoying missing feature on Spotify, the missing “resume” button (or optional on/off setting)… I do not understand this; seems such a basic feature. I have lots of playlists of the “most important 100 tracks of genre X” type playlist, and keep hearing the first 10 tracks and never reach the end (I mostly use Spotify through voice command, and would love a “resume playlist” instead of “play (from start) playlist”). There are also some audiobooks etc.
