Bring back the heart button!

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

Please bring the heart back. I will add a song to a playlist for various reasons, but it doesn't mean I like the song. I need to be able to see what my favorites are. Seeing entire albums with checkmarks on every song is meaningless.

The software is worthless to me without this functionality, as it's my main way of browsing and listening for over half a decade now.

Yes it's frustrating and unlogical we can't SEE which songs we liked, anymore...We can like, but don't get to SEE the like..

 

For me almost everything is made messy and annoying that substituted the like HEART.

 

My suggestion: Why not put both options behind the songs..The HEART and the green dot/spot.

 

What's the point of taking away a heart and getting a green tick behind the song we play???

Where are the Three dots for behind the Green Dot? Spotify puts exactly the same thing double and no option to have an overview of liked songs in our playlists anymore? This is weird!

 

It's like taking away the tires from our cars and substitute them with bricks. First you give cars with tires. It works and people get used to them. Suddenly people just have to get used to the cars with bricks...?

 

Now the green dot shows me that the song is already in one of my Playlists, but when I scroll over the green dot it asks me to "Add it to a Playlist"? It's already in my playlist that's why the green dot is there, right?

I use the desktop app on my laptop more than the app on my phone and it's frustrating that everywhere we now scroll with our cursor in our playlists a stalking green check mark appears following the cursor... terribly jittery and worthless.


On artist playlists, we now see a green check mark if the song is already in a playlist we created. It doesn't say which playlist and it could already be in multiple playlists... But when we're in our own playlist, songs don't have a check mark if the song is already in another list. In my offered "Mix Playlists" and my "Top tracks this Month"(only visible to you) most of the songs have a green dot. But some don't have the green dot, but they all exist and are saved in my own playlists....Why Why Why?? Why some don't have the green dot..? Why the green dot ones show that I can add them to a Playlist, and the ones that don't have I can only like them to add them to my 'liked' playlist???? It's terrible confusing and doesn't make sense.. What is the positive development of this change?

We now have to check all the time which playlist we are in and what the check mark means in this specific playlist. Everything is made unclear and messy with the worthless and annoying green check marks, but more without SEEING the hearts..

 

Why make it harder to like a song. I don't like taking 2 steps to like a song. Another reason for me to not like songs anymore... Why not explain radical changes, Spotify? What is the reason for taking away the hearts? Does it have to do with algorithms, or do we like too many songs...are customers/clients/users/musiclovers (with a heart) too busy creating good and fun playlists? What was wrong with the Like Heart?


The first month I thought it was a bug. Now we know it's an incredibly strange change...

Now it's possible to like a song without knowing that it has already been liked and may have been liked many times now... We can't SEE it! Now with many songs I thought I already liked, I like them again just to be sure... and I hope I will SEE the like (heart) again...

 

I never use the Liked Song List to listen to songs. I just think it's a useful way to quickly create a playlist for people who don't have an own playlist or take the time to listen to one, and probably use the skip button more than once. Even in their beloved Liked Songs Playlist. So what's the point of a playlist if you're skipping songs and scrolling? Especially now that there are no more likes behind the songs. I make my own playlists and SEEING a song I like points to a better song. Now every playlist looks boring... without SEEING the songs you love. Also more difficult to sort. Nothing attracts me and stops me to listen somewhere in the middle of the playlists anymore, because I don't SEE that there are some liked songs in that section...

 

Before this change, I was working on my playlists on Spotify every day. Since this weird change I found myself staring, crying and screaming at my Spotify app and been only listening to my playlists 3 times since then...

 

Creating playlists without 'liked' favorite songs (HEART) is worthless. Listening to disorganized playlists also sucks.

 

It's taking too long... I think it's a policy to discourage us..

 

This change even broke the Discography sections of all my songs saved to my 'Your Library' when directed from there to the Discographies section of the artists on the Spotify Desktop app. Many users have the same issue...I think all users, but only some are noticing this...(UPDATE: there was a thread about this issue and Spotify fixed the bug three months later... )

Please bring it back.

I hate not having a easy overview of the songs i liked in playlist where i dont necessary think all songs are bangers.

To remove it was a terible choice when it comes to UX.

BRING BACK THE HEART!

 

Seeing a favorite song within another playlist (YES!) vs its in a playlist.. (who cares..)

 

Optimizing a playlist by marking the best songs with an heart (after a while delete the non-hearts)

 

Rating my release rader in de car by liking songs while driving, later put it in a playlist (much saver)

 

You deleted an extra dimension within/over all your playlists; you downgraded it to another playlist, for what?

 

I cant even see what is the benefit of this new feature.. its suck.. feels like all my work is gone..

Bring back my visual expression of loviing music, BRING BACK THE HEART!

New function it's nice, but the heart button it's essential, irreplaceable and indispensable.

This is such an unwarranted, mean-spirited slap in the face to all the Spotify users who use the heart function when we create and edit playlists. Spotify, what exactly is it you mean to achieve, besides upsetting and frustrating your users? The unnecessary removal of this simple and practical function will multiply the time I have to spend when I create a new playlist. And what on Earth is the point of a mark indicating that a song is in one of my playlists when I am scrolling through my playlists? I can't even begin to phaontom what you were thinking.

 

Last year, I spent more than 200,000 minutes listening to Spotify. Now, I have cancelled my subscription. I will not return until the heart function is restored. Goodby

The like button is not a playlist but now you forced us to use it as a playlist which is not. Y'all gonna be deaf tone again on that like every time we come here expressing our frustration i already know but the like button is a visual that help us finding the song we love inside a playlist full of song we like... as everyone is telling you over here. Leave the + option if you want but the liked songs needs to be exactly as it was before. Again, liked songs isn't a way to put our song in a playlist, it's a way to marked it as such. We should not even be able to add song to the play list with the + option. the + option is to add to multiple playlist at once, good but leave the heart everywhere it can appear, it needs to be seen. So annoying.
