[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 friend introduces me to a song, or I hear a song in a bar, and I want to listen to it later, but I don't want to add it to my favorites or a playlist. So I would like to have a dedicated list for “listen later.”

Like how there is for YouTube videos, if you want to listen to it but don’t want to yet or just can’t, you can press “listen later” and have an album for it, like a watchlist on YouTube!

Hi,

I think listeners would benefit from a "listen later" playlist. I find myself listening to current playlists and, at the time, browsing other areas of Spotify to try and find new music. However, I wouldn't necessarily want to listen to that music at that moment. 

 

Therefore, I think a Listen Later playlist would be really beneficial and enhance my listening experience. I think it should, at least, feature the following:

  • A playlist that can be configured to hold X amount of songs based on user preference
  • The ability for a user to set a specific reminder time for when Spotify push notifications would notify a user
    • This would only be active when someone adds a song to the playlist itself, otherwise people could be inundated with notifications and find it rather annoying
  • Once the user listens to the playlist, other songs can be recommended based off of this 

Thanks!

Sometimes there is an album or a song that I want to listen to, but cannot listen to in that moment. It would be nice if there was a listen later feature for me to list the songs so I can come back and listen to them without forgetting. I recognize I could use a playlist for this, but it would be cooler if it was a feature I could easily toggle on and off for albums/songs.

I feel like you could just add the song to queue or make a playlist yk

I put in a request to create saveable queues. I have a Playlist I use for the purpose of this request, but it is a pain because you have to remove it from the Playlist one track at a time.

so basically it'd behave like a toggle next to your queue to enable mixing it in live/play it 100% of the time, according to preference, and you can maintain it like a playlist?
I'd like that, but then I'd like to have this option for a small variety of listen-later lists, to be able to switch between it fitting my mood.

It would be cool if a user could create arbitrary amount of queues:

for example I'm listening music in different genres and I can listen at the same time ambient and dark psy in the same queue(I mean I could - but it will be weird exp).

I just have a playlist called listen later. You can also link your Shazam account and any song you shazam will go onto the playlist automatically.

I go through and see so many albums and I just want a tab where I can see all of the albums I want to go back and listen to them 

 

but the thing is I want to keep my fav albums only in my library
