Bring back the heart button!

[Urticlaire]

It's SUPER frustrating, we can't see which songs we liked in our own playlists, Bring back the heart button PLEASE, the new way doesn't work AT ALL

Hi spotify wake up wake up!!

[specialreserve]

Please implement any kind of visual indicator for liked tracks! Since this feature was removed, I use Spotify far less than before.

I gave up. I sideloaded an old version of Spotify that had the like feature. I simply can not live without this feature as it is my entire music discovery workflow. I need to see at a glance what songs I've liked from a Playlist or album. 

I'm giving up access to every single new feature from the last two years to get my like icon back, it's THAT important. 

Please, Spotify, do I have to go get a job on your interface design team just to get this feature back?

Ooooh I didn’t know you could do that. Brilliant! How did you load an old version of Spotify?

• Edit #1:

Upon further reflection, it makes the most sense to place the like button where it was, with the original function of toggling liking a song. Plus button should go to the left (mobile client) and allow for quickly adding to playlists (but get the liked songs outta the add to playlist menu!!! Or at least make a setting to hide it in the menu). The ability to add to multiple playlists is nice but usually unnecessary. The default in add to playlist menu should be tap a playlist to add, long press a playlist to select multiple, however there should also be a toggle setting to revert to current setup (always add multiple). Please upvote!!! Spotify desperately needs more flexibility in the settings and some UI changes, this seems to be the best way to let devs know!!

Edit #2:

Thank you all so much for the support and feedback, only a few votes left to hit the 180 goal!! Special shoutout to whoever made their username on here "BRING_BACK_HEART" lol. As many of the comments mentioned, the heart was a critical part of my listening experience, especially when listening to albums or other user's playlists. Thanks for all the personal feedback and votes, hopefully we'll meet again in green heart land 🙂

Also, attached is a shotty markup of how the mobile client would ideally look (filled heart denoting liked song, checkmark denoting song in at least one playlist).

Are you trying to dehumanize the app ?

What's better than the heart ❤️ icon to symbol liked music 🎶 ?

There's also important lost functionality, practically a bug in design:

It's no longer possible to Like or check Like status, for a song currently not being played, clicking the three-dots context menu !

Like is far more basic than adding a song to playlist, which could be found in song context menu anyway

Thank you so much 🙏

Please bring back the heart! If I want to like a song, I now have to do three clicks instead of one! (Plus-Button -> Liked Songs -> Done).

This is especially awkward, when I just want to give a quick Like when in the Lock Screen of my phone or on Android Auto.

The Plus Button makes things less intuitive and takes more effort to use!

I also miss being able to quickly see which songs I have liked and which ones I have not. Now, if I'm in my daily mix playlist, there's no easy way to tell if I've liked something or not and it's driving me crazy. I don't want to have to press a bunch of buttons to get that info. Please please please fix this
