[Your Library] 'Listen later' Button

Occasionally, I hear about a new album that seems interesting, but I'm at work or in a lecture and can't listen to it immediately. Ideally I'd like to be able to hit a button to mark that album and later, when I get the time, I can sit down and listen to all the things I've saved.

a listen later folder would be awesome because I will hit like just to keep track of it but that makes it think I really like it therefore messes with the new music I actually do like. it would make Spotifys suggestions more accurate.

why there's no "listen later" bottom yet???

Have a button to press to direct different songs and albums into a section for stuff you want to remember to go back to and try listening to in the future.

… to this i would add, unlike the other playlists, the “Listen Later” list would:

 

1) Pop a notification at time of user’s choosing (configured in settings) to remind them to listen

 

2) Adding to the list would *not* influence recommendations algorithm- with assumption this is mostly newly discovered music, but which has not yet been listened to or vetted.

A save for later or “listen to later” option would be nice so I could keep track of suggestions outside of my normal algorithm

Able to save a song, album, or artist to a listen later section in library.

I've been waiting for this feature for YEARS and still there isn't a streaming platform that has implemented it. It's literally just a bookmark feature. Pls make it possible. I would use it all the time!!

A small button next to the Save button, where you can save songs or albums, if you can‘t hear them at the moment.

Currently, when I add an album to my library, it appears alongside every other album I’ve ever saved — both albums I’ve loved and want to keep forever, and albums I’ve only added to listen to later. This makes my library cluttered and hard to navigate.

 

I’d love a way to separate these two categories:

 

  • Albums to Keep – for my favorites, the ones I want in my permanent collection.
  • Albums to Listen Later – for albums I’ve pre-saved or want to check out when I have time which could potentially end up in said “albums to keep”.

This would make it much easier to organize and enjoy my album library, without losing track of new releases or cluttering my favourites.

I think for podcast listeners, having a “listen later” list would be nice! My scenario: I’m reading a book and I was curious if Alex Cooper had interviewed the author! She had! I’d like to listen later as I continue this book.

 

I use the “watch later” feature on YouTube and I love how if I’m busy I can add it and then either find it later or YouTube suggests it later!
