[Vasil]

Hey folks!

We are receiving reports that some of you are experiencing persistent issues with your Liked Songs not syncing across all platforms. This includes iOS, Android, desktop app, and the Web Player.

Can Spotify tell us to wait for fixed versions instead of leading us to wrong solutions that doesn't work for all.
It's not a user's problem.. it's a Spotify bug. So doing clean ré-installs leads to waste times with no better results.

My Spotify Windows app also doesn't show the liked songs I've added recently on my Android app. If I try to use my Android app to play those songs on my Windows device, Spotify says "Spotify can't play this right now. If you have the file on your computer you can import it."

Like others have said, this is a new bug. I've never experienced this before in all my years of using Spotify, but I noticed it in recent weeks.

What fixed it for me, at least temporarily, was deleting Spotify cache (Edit > Preferences > Clear cache) and then terminating the Spotify process from Windows Task Manager and restarting the app.

just looking at all of the responses from folks with the same issue; maybe it’s time we switch to a different streaming service? Spotify raised their price, but still hasn’t fixed this core feature. Meanwhile, we can leave the reviews they deserve across app stores.

yall paying the developers for what? this issue been frustrating me like half a year, and only answers from supports these AI-like copypastes, im paying everymonth  $5 for this bs?

I have experienced the exact same issue for a few months now, across both Windows 11 and Linux (Fedora 42) on all of my devices.

This seems to affect all Desktop platforms. The only thing that helps is a complete reset or reinstall of the app, so it looks like some cache invalidation bug. Could a moderator please convert this into a technical issue/ticket, so it can be assessed by an actual developer?

I am having this same issue, and there have been several threads for it by now. One from last year ended with a moderator post saying "Great news, this will be addressed in one of our future updates!" which is a hilarious vague thing to say.

Android phone, Windows PC. Liked songs on mobile are not showing on my desktop playlist.

This worked for me, thank you.

Note: I tried the marked solution before trying this and it didn't work.

It is still broken, my liked play list on my pc hasn't update and even rolled back to an older version

One of the laptops that I use Spotify on has since been completely wiped with an OS reinstall and guess what, still having the issue.
