Liked Songs playlist doesn't play songs

[Loose]

Spotify will not play songs from my Liked songs playlist. It’s only the Liked songs playlist that doesn't play songs - others are fine. When I try to click on a song it stops anything else that is playing but does not start playing any new track. There are no error messages.

Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra. Android 14. I have no SD card.

Spotify 9.0.14.561. Premium subscription.

Other devices are fine.

Clean reinstall does not work (including checking for co.spotify.music files etc.).

Other users have the same problem and have been for a number of years. The issue comes and goes but always comes back.

I have tried to get Spotify Support to fix this many times and they have never been able to. I always get passed from one person to the next over many days, each one starting again asking me the same questions. Whenever I raise this, the support person abandons me, cutting me off without saying anything, then I get passed to yet another person who starts again asking the same questions. There is clearly no accountability or tracking resolutions with Spotify Support staff. So far, every one of the following support staff has done this:

I have tried every suggestion in this thread, I am using the most up to date version of the app and still my liked songs won't play. Honestly I am getting tired of Spotify's constant bugs and glitches.

For anyone having issues particularly with the Mac desktop app not playing your liked songs, here's what worked for me.

Issue: When I hit play on my liked songs, it would only play downloaded songs. When I try to play a specific song, it would say "unable to play right now". Reinstalling and relogging-in did not help. All other playlists were working and I could select individual songs to play, just not from my liked songs. 

Solve: Click the home button then press play on the liked songs button on the home screen. Don't use the sidebar liked songs button. This will play the liked songs from the start of your list and then allow you to adjust from there. This also should fix the sidebar liked songs button which seemingly was linked to the broken liked songs page, now linked to the working one.

when I click a song in my liked songs playlist it won’t play until I close the app and open it again. And if I click the play button for the playlist it takes forever to load. I have deleted the app and it works temporarily then stops working again.

I can see my liked songs playlist, however, whenever I go to play a song off of it it freezes and doesn’t play anything. I cleared my cache, logged out and in, and reinstalled the app. Nothing has worked. It’s not the end of the world, but it is a huge inconvenience when I’m trying to put together a playlist.

My Question or Issue

Hi, so I am having an issue playing songs off of my “Liked Songs” playlist. All my other playlists work, however, whenever I click on a song from my Liked Songs, the playback disappears and nothing plays. I have tried restarting, clearing my cache, logging out and back in, reinstalling the app, and restarting my iphone— nothing has worked.

Edit— I have found that this issue only presents itself when I am using the genre filters. When I am using regular Liked Songs without the filters it works fine. I hope someone can help me!!!

Seems like spotify did an update and songs play! Now when choose a genre from my likes it doesn't just play that genre! It mixes in others even when not in shuffle 

[Itzchristian]

I’m going through this right now have you found a solution 

[Jerky1]

I’m also having the same issue. On iPhone 14, same ios. 
likewise, it breaks when using the genre filters on my liked songs playlist, but is fine when not filtering.

Same! It’s been like this for over a week! I’ve uninstalled and reinstalled the app to no avail

The issue: 

When I try to play a specific song from my liked songs, it says that Spotify is unable to play this song right now, and to import a file. However, if I just press play on my liked songs, it always plays the same song from like liked songs.

I do not have this problem for the playlists which i created myself. I do not have this issue on my phone when i listed to liked songs. 

For my desktop app, I have already tried to reinstall the app and clear the cache but it has not worked.

My Question or Issue

I cannot select songs from my library, when I try to select one nothing happens. 

All other playlists work fine, I only have this issue when trying to select any song from my liked songs playlist

My Question or Issue

Lately I haven't been able to play songs from my Liked Songs playlist. I can hit the shuffle button at the top, but if I click an actual song, the player at the bottom and the queue disappear.
