My playlist has not been working it’s been showing the song titles

  • Hello! I’m new to Spotify and something has been going on lately. Instead  of having the image and title it only has the titles of my songs on my playlist. It’s been really annoying please help me!

Hey @Paws_,

 

Thanks for the reply with the clarifications.

 

The layout you've described on the mobile app is the new layout for a free account. We're always trying to improve the user experience and that's why we're testing out new layouts and features on a regular basis.

 

We're also glad that you shared your feedback on this matter. You can find out more on how your feedback can reach Spotify on this page.

 

Hope this helps,

 

Cheers!

If I’m gonna be honest I hate it, you should rrly bring back being able to play songs in the order you want too the free plan

Did they just change it for everyone listening to Spotify on a Web browser? Because before recently it was working just fine. I moved over to YouTube music because I was just done.

I tried unliking the songs I had in my liked songs playlist, that Spotify automatically makes for you when you like a song and now my original playlists that I made work, perhaps you could try that to fix it

wait nevermind it’s only temporary sad

My Question or Issue

I don't know how to explain this in writing so I attached a screenshot. I can't play any of my playlists. It doesn't show the songs, just a list of the titles. Pressing the play button doesn't work. I have already deleted and reinstalled the app, logged out and signed in again multiple times, and contacted support.

me too!! i can only litsen to like a few seconds a d only suggestions

One day on Spotify website mobile all of my playlist just showed the names of the songs no as a list where I could scroll down. This happened both on my phone and iPad, however on my pc it was completely fine.
Btw my account is free.

Ex of what’s happening now (because I can’t show a pic right now):
“Playlist name”

Songs: name artist - name artist - name artist - etc

Ex of original:
“Playlist”

Pic song artist
Pic song artist
Pic song artist
Etc

This is what is happening:

This does not fricking work the layout sucks so change it 

I tried everything so far delete it log back in reset my phone nothing works is there anything you guys can do to fix this issue?

How do we fix this Spotify sucks so much

You shlongs you didn’t even tell us anything to do you’re the reason I stopped using Spotify your company doesn’t care for any of their users

real, I’m done trying to act like i know what’s happening, the customer support page thing sucks, like mate, give me the direct answer, and fix this layout because I have not found a single soul on this earth who likes it😭🙏

Ok for everyone using Web Player I think I found a way:

 

1. Go to the Aa button if you have it on the top of your screen if you’re using a website like Safari without the app and click that button.

2. When you see a button named “Request Desktop”

3. Once you press that button you pretty much just wait for it to load and it should return back how it would usually work.

That’s pretty much all you need to do to fix it not that super complicated progress Spotify’s trying to get you to do that won’t work. You WILL have to do this because it may go back to the weird version depending on if you exit the app or you leave for a while and it refreshes, but otherwise you’ll be good.

I’ve been having the same issue with Spotify where only the titles will appear and my songs won’t play. I tried everything and it just won’t work.

None of the below information is required.

However, the more you provide the easier it will be for us to try and help.

Mi pregunta o problema

Hello Spotify,

I just wanted to say that the new playlist interface is really frustrating. Not being able to see the album covers right away and having to click “and more” to access the full list of tracks makes it way harder to navigate – especially when your playlist has over 300 songs like mine.

 

The old layout was much more practical and visually helpful. Now everything feels dry, hard to scroll, and just not user-friendly. Please bring back the classic view where we could see album art directly in the playlist.

 

Thanks for listening – I hope you’ll consider this feedback seriously 🙏
