Bring back the heart button!

I am incredibly frustrated that I can't see which songs I liked in my own playlists. I don't want to go to the Liked Songs-list everytime I want to add my favorite songs to the queue. Bring back the heart!!!

Bring the heart back and also make it so we can sort by liked songs again within playlists!!

I'd LOVE a bookmark icon instead

If you spend any amount of time on spotify ideas, you will see that this idea has been submitted over and over and over again. Next time why don't you actually check to see if the idea already exists before posting, like you're supposed to.

It is so confusing not having a like button but you have a liked playlist

This feels like a joke. It seems that instead of fixing the long lasting issue with missing like button on duplicit songs, they remove the like feature altogether! 😂😂🤣🤣 I am crying laughing, but it's not funny.

This is the first time I have had to speak out here in the community, and I will start with:  WHY?

 

Why did you have to change the "liked songs" button? I used it as way to organize (bookmark) hundreds and hundreds of songs, the way it is right now REALLY scr*wed up the app, I simply can't make playlists any longer. It's messy, counterintuitive! 

 

To me it's a "how can we make the app worse" type of idea.

The crucial characteristic of the heart button is its availability. It is a generic multitool to tag a song, maybe not always because I like it but just to mark it for later. One button, one click, easily accessed, even in the car.

 

It now takes three clicks to achieve the same thing, so it has become completely unusable.

 

It is also fundamental to see those marks in the playlist listing, without having to open a menu.

 

Removing the heart button was a big mistake.

There is plenty of space in the now-playing view to add a new button for adding songs to playlists, but the three dots up/right does well for that so no change is really needed.

 

If you want to do something useful, add generic tags to songs, searchable.

ALL songs in my playlist have the useless green checkmark... because I'm looking at the playlist. Completely useless. 


Heart icon let me easily see my favorite songs in my big playlists. By removing it you've crippled your own app and for what? Literally what are you getting from it aside from making your app less usable and more user unfriendly. Spotify seems completely out of touch with their own user base, it's ridiculous.

Yes, please.

 

I love the heart button and use it a lot (as of now, I have 5630 liked songs), and I pretty much only use the "liked songs" playlist to listen to music. Sometimes I put it on shuffle to hear a more varied selection (though not too varied since shuffle kinda sucks), and sometimes I just play from the top down to hear music I like a lot right now.

 

 

When I find something in that list that I haven't listened to in a while, I un-heart the song and heart it again to move it to the top of the playlist. I often do that many times a day, and it took just two clicks.

 

Now, it takes 4 or 6 clicks depending on whether the song is in another playlist.

 

Recently the Android app got the same terrible change, and I had hoped that at least the desktop app would have been spared in this slaughter, but alas it was not so.

Completely agree. I use playlists to try songs out all the time - but even in those playlists I can't see what other playlists I've added them too until I click the check icon!! This also frustrates me literally every time I use Spotify now and I've been using it daily for over 10 years! At least let me opt out of the new design 😞
