Songs randomly being removed from playlists

songs are randomly disappearing from my playlists!? This seems to be becoming more common and is very frustrating as I’ve spent years building up my playlists. I know some songs get removed from Spotify and re added but this doesn’t seem to be the case! The random songs that are being removed are often still downloaded to my phone to play in offline mode but have been taken out my playlist. This is getting so annoying as it’s happening a lot! When will this be fixed!

Hey there @Plantchildren,

Thanks for reaching out on the Community!

Just to check, are you able to play any of the songs on your phone when not using Offline Mode? Does the playlist appear in same way on any other devices that you use Spotify on?

Could you also let us know if the playlist those songs were removed from is Private or if it's a Collaborative playlist?

We'll keep an eye out for your reply.

Hi Maria, yes they play when I'm online and offline. This is happening in all of my private playlists

My Question or Issue

Spotify seems to occasionally remove songs from my playlists. It isn't because the songs became unavailable or something, it's just removing them sometimes and i have to manually re-add them which is fine for smaller playlists but can be a real pain in the a-- with bigger ones. The issue doesn't seem client related though..
