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!!!

I first submitted this idea within hours of it happening. Being in New Zealand our time is ahead of the rest of the world. Then my post ended up merged with another. I also submitted an idea to have both the green heart and the green tick.

If you have a look at your Release Radar in the desktop app, you will see this extra column already exists. What is the point of having a column to hide songs on your Release Radar. Who does that? Herein lay the solution we're seeking.

 

This would also do away with having a dual function button. One downside of using YouTube music is that if you like a song you are automatically subscribed to the artist YouTube channel. Hence Why I never like any songs in YT Music.

 

For the same reason I never use the green check to send songs to other playlists, because you have to like the song first. Thousands if not millions of Spotify users are wondering how their "Liked songs" playlist grew to an unmanagable size.

Look how easy it is, Spotify. Take Apple Music for example. I can add stars to my favorite songs with a simple click, or remove them with another simple click. And I can see the songs I marked as favorites with a little star, and everywhere. If I mark a song, the mark appears in lists, albums, songs... How simple, right?

 

But there's more, I can go to the metadata of any song and mark it as a favorite, and I can even tell if the song is a super favorite, give it a rating.

 

And what's more, the songs sound good, in HD, and without raising the price. How simple, right, Spotify?

It makes me a little sad to see what Spotify has become. Anyway, there's a lot of offer. Good luck.

I just want to see the songs I’ve already liked inside playlists I make.

It would be great to have a setting where you can toggle seeing “liked” songs, if not just set as the default completely.

Please bring back the 'heart'/like button.

If you have a song in a playlist, it is impossible to now like or tell if a song is liked !

This is such a huge usability downgrade.

I'm feeling Spotify will be the next Sonos, by constantly ignoring their users feedback and removing features.

Agreed! I want to know which songs in my own playlists are the ones I like more, and which ones I want to check out later! A whole "favourite" songs playlists doesn't mean anything. Bring back the heart on songs on every playlist!

Yes I completely agree! I have very large playlists, so seeing which songs are liked made it so much easier to distinguish between nice/OK songs and amazing songs. Since this change, listening to my larger playlists has definitely become much less fun

I agree! When you want to add a song to a playlist you have to like it, hit the like button, remove it from liked playlist, then add to playlist. When you want to unlike a song you have to hit the like button and then remove from like playlist, and then the UI has do its thing for a while and you just wait. Really annoying! It worked just fine back in the day.

It's like I said a few months ago. Spotify REALLY but REALLY REALLY REALLY doesn't care AT ALL about what a few thousand of users have to say about what they do or not. They are too big to care. We are talking about millions and millions of people that simply don't care about the heart button. Take the 'not so friendly' lyrics background colors as an exemple. I've seen people petitioning about the hot colors in lyrics background, hot colors hurt eyes when you try to read the lyrics like red, you can't see the lyrics with a red background, it's just impossible, and they haven't lifted a finger to change that in years, it's still there. And it won't change. They can do whatever they want to do. People will pay and that's all that matters.

Hey Spotify, I just wanted to check back in about this. Even changing it so that library playlists default to showing liked songs in playlists would be HUGE. By default I can’t tell which songs in the playlist I’ve liked.
