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

This needs to come back. Come on Spotify, you can do better !!!

As a playlist-oriented user, Spotify is completely unusable when I can't see which songs are liked in a playlist. I will be cancelling my subscription and moving to Apple Music if this isn't resolved soon.

> I insist. This "Ideas" section of Spotify is absolutely useless. Users express their opinions, frustrations, etc...

> but nobody looks at it. Example: Spotify doesn't even follow the processes they themselves create.

> This idea should be marked as "Under Consideration" or "Case Closed", according to their own scheme.

> This whole "Ideas" section is a huge lie.

Spotify are liars! Look at the chart! They are lying to our faces!

It's been a year since the heart button was replaced with the + button, and there are still so many people who want it back.

I don’t like the fact that I’m getting used to this change, so I want to organize and re-evaluate the problems with the heart button here.

1. Cannot see the heart within the playlists that I created. → This is probably the most agreed upon and main downside of this change. Correct me if I’m wrong.
2. Cannot easily remove a song from a playlist while listening. Before, we could un-heart the song and simply remove it from our liked list.
3. “Hearted songs” were the songs we used to mark as “bangers” to differentiate them from other mediocre songs on our playlists. Now, the meaning of a checkmarked song is diluted since it’s either saved in the liked songs or added to the library. There’s no special meaning attached to it.

A question: When there was a heart button, how did you save songs that you considered "mediocre"?

Did you save every mediocre song you heard by hitting the three dots → add to playlist? Or were you extremely selective and only hearted the songs you REALLY liked? Just want to understand the issue better.

What other problems do you think it has for not having a heart button besides being unable to see what you liked on the playlist?

Yes I totally agree that crying about this here seems to be totally useless 🙂 At least from the point of view that Spotify would do something about it or even bother to reply something. 

My workarounds for this at the moment are :

- Where possible I have installed about year old version of Spotify and denied auto updates. I can not do this on my work phone or computer. 

- I have also started to replace the heart by downloading the really good songs. The dowloaded songs stand out from the rest with this dowload arrow kind of thing. This way at least I see from playlist with thousand songs which are the ones I really like. I find it somehow satisfying to see a long playlist with my own markings of what I like 😀 Without this the playlist seem like a mess -> at the moment Spotify new versions seem like a mess.

I have tried other services but not yet find a one that is as good as "old" spotify versions. I just wish Youtube would make a better music service as I have the Youtube premium anyway.

Hi gkswltn11

No. The question is: why create a problem for so many users when it is not necessary? Any simple book program, or movie program, or music program... or cooking recipe program, has the option to mark your favorites, and see them, without limit. The question is not whether I see more problems for not seeing the favorites. The question is why you change something that nobody asks you to and change the way in which many people use their lists.

The truth is that I don't care much anymore. One month on Apple Music and I have discovered what a true music library is. In AM I can not only mark and unmark my favorite songs with a click, I can see them everywhere, lists, albums, songs... I can even create smart lists with my favorite songs and other parameters. Spotify doesn't even dream of that. And it also sounds better in high definition. Bye Spotify.

I don't understand why Spotify keeps removing features that we enjoy. It's frustrating to see them regularly cut something that many of us love.

I think it's time we take a stand. If Spotify removes another beloved feature, we should all consider canceling our subscriptions. Maybe then they'll listen to their loyal users.

They should give us the option to use the heart button or the check button in the settings of the app

Okay now I'm even more frustrated! I like an album and it still won't like songs. Either you fix the album like to all songs or bring back our choices to like all songs Please! I beg of you. We All need choices, not just 1 way. I truly do love you and can't thank you enough for my library!
