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 has been mentioned here 8 months ago with 500 upvotes https://www.reddit.com/r/truespotify/comments/13g27az/can_spotify_please_bring_back_the_heart/ and it's being talked again and again ever since they took the heart away. It's ridiculous to thank us for this "new suggestion".

Totally agree, this design change makes no sense and is objectively worse in every way. Crazy to think Spotify spent time and money to make their app this way.

Favorite Songs should be treated in a special way.

In all lists, your own and those of others, in artists' discographies, in albums,... they must be visible with a small indicator (heart, dot, mark,...).

They are "special songs" for the user, for some reason they stand out from the rest. The idea of combining the option to add songs to the list and mark favorites in a single button is very bad. In my own lists, with this horrible change, I can't see favorite songs at a glance without having to individually press each song.

Marking favorites in any application of this type (music, movies, books...), and making them visible to the user at all times, should be something essential and untouchable.

When a change of this type occurs, at least, the user should be given the option to activate it or not, in the program preferences.

Agree! We need both buttons.

The only solution I have found to this disaster of removing the heart to mark my favorite songs everywhere is to download the "Liked songs" folder.

When downloading the songs, the download icon tells me that it is a favorite song everywhere, lists, albums, etc... The problem: depending on the songs that the user has marked as favorites, it will take up a lot of space on the disk.

Thanks Spotify for complicating everything without any need.

Last year I wanted to listen to 1 album every day of the year, I had one playlist where once I had listed to an album all the way through, I put the whole album inside to keep track.

Obviously I didn't like every single song on every single album i listened to, so when i listened to an album that day I would click + to add my favorite songs to my liked songs, thus creating a heart that i could very easily see on the desktop version. Now after this change i scroll through this 205 hour playlist and have no idea whats songs i even liked. you cannot justify this stupid update.

It should be a cricle containing a tick if the song is in any playlist or a heart containing a tick if it is also in liked songs. If it is just a liked song then just the old heart with no tick. Three simple states, should be viewable next to songs on all interfaces (currently not being able to see in playlists is terrible).

I was thinking the exact same thing a while back ... implement SHAPE so that the same icon can handle all possibilities. And the heart would appear everywhere (like it used to), while the circle continues to not appear on user's playlists.

Just changing the shape doesn't cut it. People need to be able to easily identify a liked song while scrolling through their playlist. It needs to be two different icons. Or possibly they should scrap the checkmark altogether.

For Gods sake, Spotify, can't you just bring back the heart button? What kind of music app doesn't allow people to see their own favorites? Do you get enjoyment out of making your users suffer? Though it sounds ridiculous, I can't think of any other reason to persist in this

I've downloaded Deezer, Amazon Music, Youtube Music, and **bleep** even Samsung Music. I'm trying them out now. If you want to try an app that can provide its users with the bare minimum features before cancelling your Spotify subscription, you can easily copy all your playlists, songs, etc to any other service using https://www.tunemymusic.com/transfer. If you realize after a little while that you're content with the switch, kill Spotify and never think about the enshittified app again.
