Bring back the heart button.

[celineeweenie]

The worst update of spotify was removing the heart button. Now I can't even tell which songs I've liked or not! I say that we should be given the CHOICE to use either the plus feature or the heart button. I find the heart button so much easier to use than the plus button.

The plus button is occasionally useful when I want to add a song to a playlist, but it is wildly annoying to "like" it. Using the heart button was so much easier than this process.

I do not agree with you. The new button is way more useful because it allows you to 

- see every playlist in which a song is 

- remove a song from multiple playlists with just a few clicks

- add a song to multiple playlists with less clicks

Yes, the new button is very useful for all of the things you mentioned. But it is absolutely useless for seeing which songs I have marked as favorites. And this idea is about that, to see (with a heart, star, etc...) which songs I have marked as favorites, at a glance and everywhere (lists, albums, etc...).

Practical example: This screenshot is part of a list created by me, the list has many more songs, this is just a part. Can you tell me with the current system how many songs I have marked as favorites without having to click on each one individually?

Either you have extrasensory powers, or it is impossible. The new button is totally useless for seeing my favorite songs at a glance.

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?

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

Yea come on Spotify we've been waiting for over a year now for you to unbreak the favorites, and I've seen some little steps to make progress, as it is now possible to see if the songs you listen to in others playlists are in some of your playlists, but why oh why did you decide that it should no longer be possible to see which songs we have liked in our own playlists?

All of a sudden it has become impossible to know which songs in a playlist are the favorites, which I would somehow imagine would be one of the points of having a music exploration platform. I've been exploring a lot of new music and for sure I am not memorizing every single song that I like more than the others, but I now have no reasonable way to find them (going to the Liked playlist and scrolling through it to remind myself of which songs I liked the most is not reasonable)

Why can you not just show the playlist icon in the personal playlists like we've been used to for the past eternity that we've been using Spotify

Can you even tell me what the purpose is of even having a way to Like songs if it is just a playlist of every song ever liked no matter which genre? At what moment do you see that people go and put on shuffle and play the songs in the favorites playlist that can span between hundreds of different genres?

And why did you remove all the other Ideas from this forum that was discussing this topic? Is that a statement that you refuse to do it, or what is going on here?

What is with the lack of communication (as far as I'm aware)?

It makes more sense, to have the heart instead.
