[Mobile] Remove current Song from Playlist

[Hansholz]

Hi

This is a usability improvement for the Mobile devices. Sometimes I want to remove songs from a playlist. This is currently quite a long task to perform on the mobile device.

1. I first have to select the right playlist.
2. Then I have to locate the song, which is not listed alphabetically. They are listed in the order I built the playlist with the oldest first and newest last.Some of my playlists have up to 900 songs in them and scrolling slowly can be difficult and timeconsuming.
3. Then click on the "pencil" icon and  delete the track I don't want.

I think it would be a better user experience if we could delete songs as easy as it is to add them to a playlist. 

So here's a suggestion for the mobile app, look there's even a space for it on the info page! 

Cheers

J

I have been contacted by user eviljojo22 who has developed a Plugin that creates a playlist named "Remove from Spotify" and every 45 minutes minutes it deletes every song in it and also in every playlist in which that same song appears (which may not be what you want). However, this is an option that may help you before Spotify gets round to providing this very simple function. Good luck (and Thank you EvilJojo22)

I have been contacted by user bamboony who has developed an android app that might solve the problem in the short term:

They delivered! This feature now exists. Click the three dots while playing a track and select the option "Remove from this Playlist"

If the song is currently playing, on Android, on the Now Playing screen, you can tap the name of the playlist at the top of the screen, and you'll get taken to the playlist, and it'll scroll down to the song that is currently playing, and select it.

On iOS, this doesn't happen. All they need to do is make it work the same way on iOS.

Spotify's weakness is keeping all their apps on all their various platforms in sync.

It's the weakness of most companies, when their employees have to work together and stay in sync. Different people work on each app, I'm sure.

@Chiiino34 So you just complain instead of reading through the thread? In my msg from July 4th I explained that it is very easy now to remove/add tracks to and from one or multiple playlists in one go. That's for about 1,5 year now. And before that (up until now) there is this way to remove the playing song (described several times in this thread): on now playing screen tap the top bar that say "Playing from playlist <name of playlist>", it will jump to that track in that playlist and there you can remove the track from the playlist. Cumbersome but there is and was certainly no need to scroll through your playlist in order to find the track! But again, read my comment from July 4th and stop complaining. (By the way, I'm having lots of frustration myself with the Spotify user experience and bugs, but at least handling playlist got so much better since early 2023.)

Yes im definetly reading 90 pages of comments. Are you sick in the head? I
didnt even read your comment fully

Dont need it canceled subsc. Schuffle**bleep**. Keeps playing the same 20
songs on a playlist of 10k.

Spotify is over. They reach their max potential, now its just the prices
that wil get raised and bs options added. Have fun
