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

Commenting and reviewing on the Microsoft Store will probably have more effect. Never saw any reaction from Spotify here in the community, nor any explanation.

I'm curious... Did Spotify raise their prices, that went up to 11 euro's, because people got disappointed and are leaving Spotify (for cheaper platforms with a Visible liked song indication)...?? 

Update:

I read that Spotify (would) raise their prices again with 1 or 2 dollars in some parts of the world, already starting this month...🙄

Maybe it's a good idea to offer music fans a cheaper music video opt-out possibility in their long-rumored Supremium’s (subscription) set of bonus features...? And an opt-in 'visible Heart' to indicate liked songs, for music lovers... Before, I would not have mind to pay an euro more to keep this 'Visible Heart' in... Now i'm looking for more useful alternatives...

I have a bad feeling i'm paying Spotify now for music videos I didn't ask for....touching the videos accidentally makes me frustrated once more... I don't want (pricey) videos on a music player. And I never saw any audiobooks in my Spotify player...but it seems i'm already paying for that... 

I don't want them, but I didn't know I already had them...Where/how can I find that huge audiobookdatabase?

I started using Spotify because of their price (9,99 at that time) and I only want to listen to music, not pay for music videos I don't want to watch. It's a different thing...for a different target group.

For the same price there's already a good option to watch music videos, and as an extra advantage it gives you ad-free non-music videos too...Think everybody knows the platform i'm reffering to...it starts with an Y and ends on Tube...

Does anyone already have experiences with the in Europe popular free (of charge and no ads, and try out without registration) Spanish newcomer Nonoki Music ? It seems they listen to their users and implement functions very quickly. They have hearts now and almost everything seems to be very similar, but for free....🤔

@fujitsoo that's another issue that I'm very unhappy with, they ruined library navigation. Now albums, artists and playlists are all shoved in the same tiny box and you have to apply various filters to find something, it's so unintuitive and slow. Unfortunately I don't believe they will ever revert back to what it was, if even a simple thing as the heart button seems impossible. This platform is dead.

@am8622: Precisely, and these are great points of which Spotify should be reminded.  4200 votes doesn’t mean that only 4200 users support the change, but exponentially more.  As an analogy in politics, the US government says that one voter who takes the time to write a senator represents the voices of about 35,000 constituents.  But even 1000 votes for an Idea is way more than enough to warrant a change in the Spotify app.

Spotify has deteriorated to the point where they don’t even follow their own publicly posted guidelines clearly outlined in the Idea Process.  See this official post by Spotify where they show that a Good Suggestion moves to a Live Idea once it “has gathered 180 +Votes in 6 months”.  But this Like button idea is soooo far beyond that requirement that it should have been implemented ages ago.

Why do still not have a timeline to see our liked songs again? Why is no one at Spotify answering here? Why are we users being ignored?

WHEN WILL WE FINALLY GET THE LIKE INDICATOR BACK? YOUR PRODUCT IS BROKEN!

Heart button made me feel happy.

It sure would be helpful! I make weekly playlists and it has become much
more difficult to not repeat songs. Using the Like feature to mark songs I
have already used in playlists made it possible to not use a song over
again. I have resorted to making a file of every song I've ever put in a
playlist and then dropping every new song into that playlist, one by one,
to see if it is already in there. Very time consuming. Much easier when I
just liked every song in my playlists and then I could instantly see the
tag.

The simplest thing they could do is just make it override to a different color if it is "liked" whether its elsewhere in the libary or not, would take a half decent first year student a day to implement (+testing and QA on top of that)

I believe that the current "add to playlist" button should not be removed, but just make a button next to it for adding to favorites

[Emerald_Pilots]

Exactly, leave the new playlist button, fine, just bring back that damn heart! PLEASE SPOTIFY!!

[Lanciano007]

Seems now people get nervous, that Spotify will take away the "Add to Playlist" too....

Well, if you use desktop player you'll have 2 options to add songs to your playlists, exactly 1 fingernail from eachother. The green dot and the three grey dots both have the same function. It's crazy that the useful VISIBLE heart had to make way for a second "add to playlist" button....

Plus you even have a third option, the easiest and most useful way, you can slide the songs into your Playlists in your Library directly and put them on the right spot in that Playlist immediately...This is the fastest and most logic way to add songs to your Playlists. Or do you want all your new songs at the end of your playlist, just for collecting??

If I could choose I would prefer the Visible Heart above this new third option (green dot) to add songs to my Playlists. I like the visibility in the green dot that we can SEE in which playlist the song is. But Spotify can also integrate a search possibility in My Library to fix this. That's all...

It's so weird to see people like to add songs to their Favorites/liked playlist and listen to that playlist. Probably they only listen to one genre. I listen to almost all genres and I hate to listen to a rocksong after a soft, slow, classical song or rap after exotic tropical music...or reggae. I don't want a chill song after a wild dance song... For me a mixed playlist like that is useless to listen to... Besides, if i listen to a list of only Bangers, I will get borred on those Bangers in a short period, and I have to remove them from my favorites again... I don't want to 'kill' my Bangers...I want to listen to them all my life...

If it's difficult to integrate the visible heart button back on other devices bring it back for desktop and webbrowser....We don't need the same button next to eachother....It doesn't make sense.. We need to have 1 visible heart and 1 green dot!
