[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.

Yes but in addition to the resume resume feature you need the possibility to scroll to the currently played song position within the playlist.

Yes, agree, “jump to current track” is another feature missing, even if I do not see the two features as necessarily depending on one another. I keep hitting Command–L (the traditional Mac shortcut to “jump to current track,” such as in iTunes) but nothing happens in Spotify on Mac. “Jump to current track” should be available as a general shortcut to move the view to the current track in its playlist or album. “Resume playlist” I would like to see implemented like in many Audiobook apps or VLC, as “play from last position in playlist” instead of “play from track 1 again” when I click “play” for a playlist. Related but different use cases in my mind: the resume playlist should remember the last play position in that playlist, even if it has been a while, and the jump to track would simply be based on the current track playing right now … well, that is how I would like to see them anyway 😊

P.S. If anyone has a good workaround to share, please do!

I've resigned myself to the idea that this is not going to happen because it's not what Spotify wants. Why else would they continually dismiss such a simple request that would be so easily implemented? Spotify is all about pushing the new music that they want you to hear and have no interest in listeners creating our own playlists. The ability to make our own playlist is offered by Spotify as a courtesy. We just have to accept this and move on.

ye but imagine they implemented the „resume feature“ but without scrolling to the position eg when opening the playlist.

I’ve more than 1000 songs in „liked songs“ and would not easily find the song position.

and if it won’t be implemented together,…

All other music players that I used and still use support this EASY and BASIC feature of a music player.

To me, it's a matter of sometimes I want to listen to music, and then later resume that podcast, or audio book I'm listing to...
But instead of a simple one button "mood select and resume" I have to hunt down what i was listening to.

Again, this has been requested so many times...
Want more evidence...  Try finding a list on spotify of "what I'm listening to and where I'm up to..." Obscurely tucked away in "Listening History" under my profile...  Audible does this much better.
An opportunity for a great useability feature going begging...

Again, Spotify simply doesn't care what its customers want. Because they don't have to.

I frequently listen to long playlists that I haven’t made myself. My goal is to listen to all the songs on the list at least once through. The issue is that if I want to take a break from that particular playlist, I automatically lose my spot in the music. This isn’t an issue in my own playlists as I know the songs and can easily find my spot but in a new playlist it’s very difficult to remember where I left off. I usually solve this by taking a screenshot of the current song within the playlist but I just thought it might be nice to have a fancier way of marking my place with some sort of “pause playlist here” option that would allow me to listen to other music and easily pick up where I left off when I’m done. This probably isn’t an issue for a lot of other people but I thought I’d at least make the suggestion of a playlist song book marker.

Let's say you listen to the first 10 songs or so of a playlist.

Then, you listen to some other stuff that is not part of the playlist.

I think it would be logical that the next time you search for that playlist and start playing it, it resumes where you left it instead of restarting from the first song.

Just saying.

[coo1guy]

I'm wondering if there is a way to resume playlists where they were left.

Let's imagine you listen to the first couple of songs in a playlist and then play something else that is not part of the playlist.

Next time you search for that playlist and start playing it, it should resume where you left it instead of restarting with the first song.

Any setting to do that?

Thanks
