Cannot remove podcast episodes from playlist

[BOBLOSEEDO]

Spotify no longer allows episodes to be removed from playlists, regardless of whether episode has been played or not. Not an issue with music playlists.

I just noticed this yesterday. I was able to remove podcasts from my playlist by clicking the add to playlist option and then deselecting it from the list I want to remove it from.

While that does seem to work, what a pain in the ass. Thanks for the response just the same.

Agreed!

f you're having trouble removing podcast episodes from a playlist, the process might vary depending on the platform or app you're using. Here are general instructions that may help:

1. Streaming Services (e.g., Spotify, Apple Podcasts):

   • Open the playlist containing the podcast episodes.
   • Look for an option like "Edit," "Manage Playlist," or a pencil/edit icon.
   • Select the episode(s) you want to remove.
   • Look for an option like "Remove," "Delete," or a trash/bin icon.
   • Confirm the removal if prompted.

2. Podcast Apps (e.g., Overcast, Pocket Casts):

   • Open the playlist or episode queue.
   • Find the episode you want to remove.
   • Look for an option like "Remove from playlist" or a similar command.

3. Manual Playlist Management:

   • If you've manually created a playlist on your device, use the file manager or media player app.
   • Open the playlist, find the episode, and delete it from the playlist.

If you provide more details about the specific platform or app you're using, I can offer more precise instructions. Additionally, if you're still encountering issues after trying the steps above, it might be helpful to check the support documentation for the specific app or contact their customer support for assistance.
