My Question or Issue

I’m using Spotify on two Android devices and on my Windows PC, all with the same account. However, when I save songs on one device (adding them to my “Liked Songs” or saved library), some of them don’t appear on the others.

I’ve already tried logging out and back in on all devices, refreshing the library, clearing the cache, and making sure all apps are updated to the latest version — but the issue still happens.

Is there any way to force my library to fully sync across devices, or could this be an account-related issue?

Thanks a lot for your help!

I'm getting the same issue, and it's more of an issue now that mixing is "functional" on mobile. I'm using a  Samsung Galaxy S22 Android for Spotify on mobile, and Windows 11 Spotify app that doesn't allow you to edit mixes on desktop. Since there is no sort for BPM or key I have to manually sort the tracks. Sortign is MUCH easier on desktop than mobile, so I used desktop to sort.

The problem is exactly what the original poster had - desynced playlists.  I have logged out (same account) on both devices, but get the same issue. Help?

Still an issue, just used the posted workaround on my windows 11 laptop.  Liked songs now match my desktop, phone, and web player.

Surely this has enough reports by now to be moved to ongoing issues?

The issue is still there.

On linux, had to delete ~/.cache/spotify/Users/XXXX-user

Uninstalling/Reinstalling didn't work.

My Question or Issue

Hi. Since a while ago, i am having problems with listening to music on my laptop. If i add a song to a playlist from my phone while my laptop is off/Spotify app is not open, the song will just not show up on my laptop. If my laptop is on and the spotify app is running, then i can add songs drom my phone and they do show up on my pc, but any previous song i added from my phone that hasn´t shown up stays that way. i usually take those songs off my playlist and re-add them from my phone, but its anoying. i have the latest version of spotify in both devices.

My Question or Issue

The like songs set through the phone are not synced with the MacStudio. I need to log out and than back log in for syncing.

I am also facing the same issue. When I like a song from windows desktop app it gets immediately reflected in the liked songs in my android app but the vice versa is not true. Kindly provide a major fix for it.

I can't believe this basic issue hasn't been addressed yet. 100s of users on reddit have documented the same issue and there is a fix there too but why can't Spotify just fix this permanently? They want to keep increasing subscription prices but can't fix their product. Getting closer to unsubscribing or going to YT music.

My Question or Issue

Spotify wont sync liked songs between devices. And it seems like it's always the desktop app thats lagging behind. It almost always takes a few days before the liked songs from my iPhone shows up on the desktop app. Other playlists are usually fine, although I have experienced a slow sync there too. This happened while the PC was on Win10 too. No, I'm not going to reinstall spotify every time i like a new song, this needs a better solution. Yes, this has happened across multiple different downloads of spotify on my desktop.
