[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.

it would be great to have a feature that lets us resume a playlist from the exact song where we left off, even after listening to other content. Just like podcasts resume playback! Any chance this could be added?

It’s been several years since have been asking for this so we gave up

Have album show the last song you listened, or be able to bookmark your place in album, so if you’ve been listening to an album top to bottom, but switched to something else in between, you can easily pick up where you left off in that album.  

We gotta support listening to albums top to bottom, chronologically!!!

It would be super handy if Spotify remembered where you left off in a playlist, even if you listen to another playlist in between. Currently, progress is only saved for podcasts, not playlists.

My suggestion:

• If you switch playlists and come back to them later, it should be able to continue from the last point played.

• Users should be able to set in the settings whether they always want to start playlists from the beginning or save progress.

• This feature would be especially useful for long playlists or audiobooks.

This would make the listening experience much more pleasant, especially for users who regularly switch between playlists!

for some reason Spotify doesn't either get it or care as this has been
going on for years.

As a Spotify User, when I return to listening to a playlist that I was previously listening to, I want the ability to resume playing from where I left, so that I can avoid relistening to music I already heard.

Save your progress when listening to a new album so it is easy to come back to later (if you take a break and listen to something else in-between)

I'm starting ot think that spotify is **bleep**ed.

In iOS, for the past 5 years you can't scroll to the song-position within the playlist and neither resume a playlist.

Manually contacting the support does not help neither. Also other friends already asked me about this. But not everybody will start posting online.

Should we really change to the competition?

If the competition is better, then yes we should switch.

Hi there!

I often feel the need for a locator button for the current playing episode within a playlist.

Whether it is a podcast or a personal playlist i can't directly locate the episode i am playing. I have to scroll through all the playlist to locate the ongoing episode.

A quick button that would jump to the current episode within the playlist would be useful.

Thank you!
