[Your Library] Create a “marked for download” option to make re-downloading quick and painless

[robbiemercer]

If you’ve ever had to re-download your Spotify library, you’ll understand how time consuming and tedious it can be to revisit all of your liked albums and playlists just to hit the download button again on your favourites.

Wouldn’t it be great to have an option to mark an album/playlist/song for download the first time you download it so that you never have to download it again? This feature could also be used to sync downloads across devices, when you buy a new phone, if you have to re-download your library due to travelling long term etc.

Thanks for coming to my Ted talk, pls help

I would like an option similar to going into "Songs" in "Your Library" and toggling "download," but for my saved playlists. If I have an issue with my SD card or I have to reinstall the app on a new device, it would save a lot of time to simply toggle a "download all" option instead of selecting every playlist I have saved.

This is a repost of the following inactive idea

>> What happens to the idea I submitted?

[95l6-4eym4_e5]

Since Spotify accidentally deletes my (and that of my friends) downloaded music 1-3 timers per year;  why don't the software engineers simply add a 'Download All' button to albums and playlists.  

While this doesn't address the myriad of software issues that Spotify will continute to be incapable of fixing, it will at least radically improve customer experience.  

Thanks

This isn't a new idea at all.  People have been asking for this since Spotify first came out.  Please rectify this situation.
