My Question or Issue

Hi!

I accidentally added all my 3729 liked songs to 'liked songs' instead of a 'new playlist'. Now all the 'added dates' changed to '1 sec ago'. I want the date set back to when I originally liked the song. The first ones go back to 2013(?) I think.  I link the date of my liked songs to phases in my life, so I'm really devastated it's all gone. 

I contacted the customer service but the guy said he can't do anything to restore the original date. (Don't they have a back-up to restore data from 1 week, 1 month... ago?)

Is there maybe something else I can do? 

Thanks in advance!

Hi @JorijnA!

Currently there isn't a way to restore the original dates tracks were added on. While the folks over at Customer Support can restore previously deleted tracks from a playlist, they cannot restore the original date either, since the tracks are pretty much added again simultaneously on the current date the changes were made.

I was attempting to duplicate my liked songs to a separate playlist via Control+A on spotify desktop, only for spotify to not only not copy  the songs across, but also completely randomly rearranged my liked songs so the 2000 song 5+ year old playlist shows as having been added 15 minutes ago. Is there any way to undo this?

Hi! I see it's been a couple years. Did you manage to solve your issue?

[JorijnA]

No, sadly enough not.

This same thing happened to me, I was trying to copy my "Likes" to another playlist and it accidentally got dropped back in likes and now the dates are all messed up. This is so frustrating, I cannot find a way to undo this, or restore it's original "like date".
