RETURN THE LIKE BUTTON

[juzh]

I don't care if this has been submitted a hundred times over, you Spotify devs clearly need to hear it. You should *not* have to go through the effort of finding the "liked songs" playlist, just to add a song to Liked, when you have a ton of playlists. Playlists don't even sort like they used to, it seems almost random which playlists show first despite which ones I interacted with last - but that's not the issue here; it's just yet another downside of the problem at hand.

Please. Please. Please.

Bring back the **bleep** 'liked'/heart button on songs and albums. Having to add liked songs to my liked playlist manually just leads to me adding it to different playlists because it's so **bleep** tedious in the first place. I've been adding songs to playlists and then using the PC version to mass-add songs to Liked because you make it so inconvenient on mobile. This isn't user-friendly in the slightest.

Just, why? Why can't you just bring back the little heart? I thought the point of liked songs was to add songs then and there; not to have to stop in the street to add a song to a playlist because it now takes several seconds to do so. I've been paying for Premium since 2009, and now I'm wondering if you're worth the effort. Fire whoever told you it was a good idea to remove the Liked button, seriously. Fire yourselves for listening, too.

@gkswltn11 I do not see the heart in a playlist created by me. I also restarted the app, still I do not see it. It's either something else or they are rolling the update on different zones in different time. I'm in Easter Europe. On the below playlist I've put several hearts and I see none (or all as it is part of my playlist).

That being said, I hope you are right and I could see it sooner on the road so that I can start paying them again. Until then, I'm using it on a free plan (which I regret as that way artists' cut is even smaller).

It is back on my mobile app as well. I wrote this so long ago I I'd
forgotten.

BowieGirl, are you sure you are not confusing the like button (The heart
symbol that means you have LIKED a song) with the plus symbol? (that means
you EITHER liked a song OR it exists somewhere on a playlist)

Those of us who curate playlists typically have two types of playlists:

Refined lists for repeated regular listening
Unrefined lists for review, from which songs will be added to refined lists.

While listening to unrefined lists, we like songs that we intend to later
add to our refined lists.

In order to do this, we need to be able to see if a song has been liked
while the song is playing via the heart symbol. The plus symbol telling us
the song is on an unrefined list is completely unhelpful. We also need to
be able to see which songs in an unrefined playlist are liked, so that we
can then add them to appropriate refined playlists.

For those who are seeing the heart icon, which devices are you using? I'm not seeing it on the desktop app for Mac OS or the mobile app for iPhone. Both are up-to-date.

Could not agree more. Of all the features that have been changed over the years, removing the heart button/function was one of the worst choices.

[seokmae]

to add to this, if you guys really want to keep the new function of the add to playlists button just bring back the heart and make it a long press if you wanna add it to a playlist other than liked songs like i genuinely cant understand why anyone thought this was a good idea 

[Kaldrathos]

Why Spotify quit the most iconic and unique like button? Bro the heart was soo great, even in Bad Bunny Albums.

[L10nheart]

Why is it so difficult to automatically like all songs when you like the album? Surely it should just be a little setting that you have to adjust. Because of your shuffle limitations I don't get to hear all of my 24,000 songs. I would rather have the album automatically like all songs so that it will get thrown into my shuffle.i don't really have the time to go through all albums and like all songs. That was the way it used to be, that you could like the album and it would automatically like all songs

We want the heart to come back!

I don't know if this will ever reach someone in CS or Product, but just know that the ➕ and 💚 buttons don't have to be mutually exclusive. You can have them side by side. In fact, that would be most convenient as I like to update my songs frequently, and it would save me hours (!) to just be able to press 💚 and immediately add or remove songs from Liked Songs. I don't use Spotify as much as I would because I have to block off time and mentally prepare myself to use the app if I know I want to clean up my playlists or add new music. If you truly care about UX, just give people what they want and make their experience with the app more pleasurable and efficient. Listen to your customers. You can have both buttons. No one is saying either/or.
