[Playlists] Adding a SORT button to the playlists for Android Auto

Submitted by on ‎2020-08-17 12:21 AM
Status: Not Right Now

Hi guys,

 

As you already know (and because you want to keep all your Premium members and regular members still onboard) for around 4 years already a lot of ideas and requests were made from us about adding the 'Sort' option for the playlists in Android Auto. As it appears to all the requests made until now, the idea was pushed aside because of not having the required number of 'likes' on the topic. Seriously? (i saw countless requests over the years made on this specific topic). Why is it that hard to add the option? Almost all of your members would highly appreciate it. How does this appear as "good customer service" if you don't listen to your members to implement an option which will make our user experience so much better? Is it fair, especially for the ones who pay Premium account? I hope that somebody from the team will be so kind and forward this topic so that it can be resolved. Thank you for your time ! (P.S. just put yourself in our shoes for a minute)

Hey everyone,

 

It seems that this idea ended up in the wrong board accidentally, so we're bringing it back.

 

We're setting the status to Not Right Now, as this isn't something we have any immediate plans to implement. When we do have any new info to share, rest assured we'll check back in here with a new status.

This is such a basic feature, don't any of the Spotify developers owns a car with Android auto? Or do they just use Youtube music instead?

 

Spotify I hate you so much, I'm going to apply to your stupid company and fix it myself.

If they can't add the sort option to Android Auto, then the app should use the playlist from your phone NOT from the web. We are driving a vehicle, so it's very distracting (and potentially unsafe) to find that your playlists are playing in the wrong order. Or, add a sort option to the web so we can at least sort it from there. Why is it pulling data from the web and not the phone makes no sense, especially since we're operating a vehicle. 

 

The wild part is that people are asking why their playlist, when connected to the car, doesn't match the playlist order they see on their phone. Spotify mods are completely clueless when helping them because even they don't realize the vehicle is pulling the playlist from the web app and not their phone. 

 

My workaround is to press play from your phone, and then it's fine. Waiting for the day I will no longer need to take this extra step.
