New Episodes feed has been removed from My Library

[EvieAnderson]

When I opened the spotify app this morning to download any new episodes from my favourite podcasts in My Library, I found a note where my New Episodes feed would be to say this was now not part of My Library and that I needed to go to Home to find new episodes. So now I have to scroll endlessly through my home page to find the banner new episodes of podcasts, and then I have to open each episode individually to then click again to get to download them. Then when I go back to the homepage it takes me back to the top again and I have to scroll down the page AGAIN to find new episodes and go through the process each time. It was a stupid change and I don't understand why you would make it so much harder for users than previously. How is this beneficial?

In my “library” the very first section is “New Episodes” - which is supposed to be all the most recent episodes of podcasts i follow. Am I right? This is something that is supposed to be automatically generated and should refresh whenever one opens that section. At least it USED to do that!…

BUT! That is no longer the case! 

Now when i go in New Episodes i see a few eps pinned at the top that are in progress (that I didnt finish) and then a list below that is supposed to be the most current BUT no. For over a week (9 days) those episodes have been stuck on august 18th, meaning the newest episodes that spotify has generated are 9 days old. Today is the 27th. I know for a fact that there are episodes that came out TODAY! Yet nope, not listed. 

ALSO! The list in new episodes is insanely short! It’s maybe like 12 episodes. Which is INSANE given the amount of pocasts i follow and is just ridiculous. This feature used to work! PLEASE MAKE IT WORK AGAIN! Y’all make it soooooo impossible to find new content from the pocasts we like and that makes us frustrated because you are wasting your users time. 

i just want to see what is new in my lineup and listen and not be searching for over an hour trying to find what should have all been in one place that whole time.

We don't want this. We want new episodes to be in a dedicated Playlist: it is easier to manage. Episodes I don't want to listen I can just "mark as finished" and it is removed from the playlist. I can also add to My Episodes if I want to listen later and not lose track of it.

It makes managing my podcast episodes pipeline easier to manage. The feed is terrible... 

Also, please please please add the New Episodes playlist to the desktop app.

"i see a few eps pinned at the top that are in progress (that I didnt finish)"

I actually love this feature.

Are you saying you don’t want what i am suggesting? Or you do? I was confused
