Restore Original “Date Added” When Re-Liking Songs in Liked Songs Playlist

[kostas_afxon]

Hi Spotify team,

I’d like to request a feature that would greatly improve the user experience for those of us who carefully curate our Liked Songs playlist.

The Problem:

Currently, if I accidentally remove a song from my Liked Songs and then re-like it, the song is added back with a new “date added.” This disrupts the chronological order of my playlist, which many users rely on to track their musical journey or to remember when they discovered certain songs. The inability to restore the original date makes it difficult to maintain the integrity of our listening history.

Why This Matters:

Many users use the Liked Songs playlist as a personal music diary.

The original “date added” helps us recall memories and organize songs by discovery time.

Accidentally unliking and re-liking a song is easy to do, but currently, there’s no way to recover the original context.

Suggested Solution:

When a song is re-liked, Spotify could offer an option to restore the original “date added” if the song was previously liked.

Alternatively, allow users to manually edit the “date added” for songs in their Liked Songs playlist.

Benefits:

Preserves the authenticity of users’ music timelines.

Reduces frustration from accidental unlikes.

Shows Spotify’s commitment to user feedback and playlist customization.

I believe this feature would be greatly appreciated by many users who value the history and organization of their music. Thank you for considering this improvement!
