WHY IS THE QUEUE LIMITED TO ONLY 50 (or 81) SONGS WHEN I HAVE 700+ IN MY PLAYLIST !!!!!

WHY IS THE QUEUE LIMITED TO ONLY 50 (or 81) SONGS WHEN I HAVE 700+ IN MY PLAYLIST !!!!!

Why am I not allowed to enjoy my playlist in its entirety

You ridiculous limit means that I am always listening to the same fifty songs : USELESS !!!!

Your interface because of this limit is absolutely worthless and source of immense frustration

What is the point of having a playlist if you have limited my use of it ???

Basically I paying you so that you can prevent me from listening to my music ?

Why use a paid service when I could do this for free and not be limited at all ?

This makes me want to change my music app; which is what I am currently looking into

Thanks you for making be believe that Spotify was a user friendly application 

Now that I have used it it feels like a chinese or russian app where I am prevented from using it as I please because OF COURSE, you know BETTER DON'T YOU ?

Signed a dissatisfied user, soon to be ex user

I don't wish you anything for making my appreciation of music so unpleasant and restricted

I understand if I want to play a certain order of my songs. Usually they are in the same playlist. I just like to skip certain songs. And I have a free account I can get like three or four going but I was wondering how many could I go in and manually put start to Que, whatever it is I do ? I have wondered if I could add, more than 3 or 4 . I've had pretty good luck getting, most of my songs to play the only thing I don't like is. I've gone in the settings and designated you guys, not to keep putting suggestions below the playlist I'm trying to make because it just gets me all the stuff and I don't want that many I try to get them all wiped out so I add them and make new playlist but I really don't want it on there.. I don't want to keep seeing more songs that you think I need to add to my playlist. That just creates more and more songs. I appreciate having the free account. I've recently started using spotify I've always used SoundHound and Amazon prime music, the limited version. But since I tried Spotify and it also imports my SoundHound music to the Spotify app since there's not a Spotify app on my Roku device I'm really getting fond of Spotify. Please respond and let me know how many I can put in the queue manually to play one behind the other before it starts playing something else. Thank you sincerely, ocean angel

Almost 2 years after this was posted, still a limited queue šŸ˜‚ i love listening to the same 80 songs on repeat during my work day šŸ‘€

2 years on and still no fix to an obvious oversight, but not surprising considering so many other oversights (like the inability of Spotify to prevent duplicate songs from being added to a playlist or the ā€˜Liked’ songs. I’m referring to songs that I’ve already liked or added to a list, yet show as not-liked or not already added to a list, either because the song belongs to a compilation album, greatest hits collection, etc. 

 

Or the inability to auto replace tracks that have Remastered versions of the same song. Why wouldn’t anyone want to have a superior quality version of a tune? At least offer this option so users can have the ability to do so. Just like the inability to add more than 81 songs to a queue without songs being removed that we spend forever adding to, while assuming they’d become part of the queue list, only to discover that is no longer the case. Or the inability to create a playlist of queued songs (at least on mobile), forcing users to lose them if they opt to venture away from their queue. 

Or Spotify’s decision to not let users create a bookmark or playlist of the recommended songs that autoplay after the first few songs from an artist’s profile are through (preventing users from venturing away from these songs without losing them). Or if you accidentally click on a new song, there’s no way to get back to the recommended songs you were just playing.

Or how there’s no way to move a playlist out of a playlist folder on mobile… Or how there’s no way to export all Liked songs or playlist songs as a text document (a daily auto export to Dropbox, Google Drive, or email, etc)…. Or the ability to Pin more than just 4 playlists or custom organize them (at least this isn’t possible on mobile), forcing users who have a lot of lists to constantly cycle through them when adding new tracks… or the paying artists more money so they stop leaving Spotify or omitting certain songs or albums from listening. I could go on and on, but have learned that Spotify ignores these requests despite them being obviously useful features. Instead they base them on popularity contests, even though many requests are split up between multiple threads because they are oftentimes too difficult to search for existing posts to add to the ā€˜me too’ counts. 

And as an example of the un-user-friendliness of Spotify’s system, whenever I leave a comment here in the forum, it asks me if I’d like to leave feedback after my comment has been made, only to immediately force me to leave feedback before I even finish my original comment, resulting in that comment being lost. So frustrating.
