[All Platforms] Remember Position in Playlist / Album

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.

Hey everyone,

 

This idea accidentally ended up in the wrong board, so we're moving it back here. 

 

We're keeping the Not Right Now status as we don't have any immediate plans to implement this. As soon as we have any new information to share, rest assured we'll check back in here.

 

Take care.

Hey Spotify,

 

How many Votes do you need to realize we NEED this functionality?

I was so disgusted about this that I unsubscribed and stopped my Spotify
subscription. After over a year if they don't realize they need this
feature there is no hope.

After over a year asking and trying to get this useful and necessary feature, I decided to give up my Spotify subscription and move on. If after all this feedback from customers they still do nothing, I would rather spend my money elsewhere. I am now using free Spotify and and getting what I pay for now.

Would love to see this feature implemented, I listen to some long playlists and it would be nice to come back to them where I left off rather than starting again.

Ugg.... How many dozens of positive comments over how many years does it take for a common sense improvement like this one need before Spotify believes it is worthwhile?

 

At some point, more and more paid subscribers are going to do as one commenter stated and go to the free account because we're not getting service for common sense items for our paid subscriptions,

I don't understand why Spotify ignores this request. They are making changes and adding new functions to the app, so the will to move forward and develop the app to customers delight is there. Then why not do this? Is it programmatically undoable? Don't they have the competence to build this solution? Or is it against their policy to let users know what have been played or not?
Actually, for me the request isn’t just about playlists. I would like to know if I’ve played a track or not, maybe even what date it was played. We all know that Spotify already keeps statistics and data on our listening habits. It wouldn’t be a big deal to hook up this information to the user interface, so that I also get to see my listening habits.

What now Spotify? Go, or no go? Or maybe I should put it like this: leave, or no leave?

This is both obvious & simple to code
Why does spotify pretend a simple UX improvement is so difficult?

Imagine being this pathetic actually... 11 years you have a request pending. 11 years people asking for a basic function to be implemented so you can properly use the service you pay for. And after all that time what do they have to show? An update saying "Not right now". Actually freaking unbelievable. So the last 11 years it wasn't "not right now"? Give me a break...

Yes. That’s why I gave up on Spotify and cancelled my service

100% I need this too! I regularly toggle between several playlists that run in the thousands of tracks. Remembering where I left off can be a struggle, especially when a particular song is on multiple playlists.
