Hey there folks,

As it's been a while, could you let us know in case this is still happening for you as we've only gotten one recent report?

If this is happening, we'd like to look into it further and it'd also be very helpful in case you could share what troubleshooting you've tried so far as suggested previously in this and this comment from us.

Thanks and we'll be on the lookout.

Hi all,

I fixed it for me, not sure how but I did a few steps.
1. Uninstalled app on desktop and reloaded it on mobile.
2. Turned offline mode (located in playback) on and off on my mobile device
3. Made sure all my songs were synced / downloaded on spotify (My wifi connection was disabled and hence it was not downloading the songs)

Hope this helps!

Yes this is still a problem, liked song and playlists not adding songs that are added on mobile to desktop app. Personally i have had this issue for 3 weeks now, and its also causing playback issues, say if i hit play on my liked songs on desktop and tab out to do something else, if the song ends or its skipped it has a chance to be a missing track, (no track name or cover art just the music note on a grey screen) perhaps a unsynced song but it causes the music to stop, which you then have to tab back in to replay the playlist as skip button will not do anything as it stops the queue, where the issue will likely happen again in a matter of minutes

My apps were up to date, I don't use any VPN, I tried re-logging several times as well as pairing the devices by QR code.None of this worked.

So here is what did work for me.

Originally I downloaded Spotify installer for my PC through the Spotify website and not the Microsoft store. I have now uninstalled the original installation and re-installed it through the Microsoft store, it has finally synced my library. Just a simple uninstall and then a new install through the Microsoft store. No rebooting in between or anything.

Hope this helps others!

My Question or Issue

Hello all,

i use Spotify on multiple devices but discovered an issue with the Desktop Version on my Windows 10 Pc. Since about February, the Favourite Song Playlist does not sync anymore and also cannot play the Songs when controlled (forced) by another client (ios or win 11) The error message just reads ,,this song cannot be played curently". I havent found any recent similar problems and resetting the App or signing in and out did not work. Weirdly, the problem only occurs on my favourites Playlist and not with other playlists.

Yes this issue is still occurring, I'm missing almost 1000 songs so who knows how long since it's last synced

Hey folks,

Thanks for your replies.

If the issue persists, please let us know the following so we can report it to our tech team:

• The model, OS version and Spotify version of the devices you're using.
• Which device are you liking the songs on and on which device are they not appearing?
• Are you able to control/transfer the playback from one device to the other?
• The troubleshooting steps you've tried so far.

Cheers,

The issue is recurring. I've experienced it multiple times by now.

Clearing all cache information and reloading the application may help, but it's a temporary solution as the problem is coming back. Surprisingly, when I ran spotify from the terminal right now (exact command: `spotify --debug-level=MAX --show-console`), the playlist got synced with the server. It might've been luck, though, since I really doubt log level would affect it. The command run when starting the application by clicking on it is defined as `spotify %U`.

It seems like it might be a consistency issue in the cluster. Maybe part of the cache is the IP of the server the application should connect to?

My Liked Songs playlist doesn't update the songs I add from my phone in my laptop. On my phone, I've liked more songs the past few days, but on my laptop they don't show on my Liked Songs playlist. I don't know how to fix this. Could you help me please?

Also having this exact same issue, in particular songs added on iOS don't always update the liked playlist on Windows 10 desktop version
