Who Me Too'd this topic

So I've only been using Spotify for a little while and it's generally been fairly decent, but one thing I'm trying to getmy head around is 'starring' and 'favourite/saving' different songs.

From my perspective I'm not interested in playlists. I just want to find tracks I like, mark them in some way and then have all of these preferred tracks in one place. But it seems that while initially using the Mac app I starred tracks that I came across that I liked, but when on the iOS app I've selected the '+' assuming this was marking it in the same way ....... but obviously isn't. I now have two seperate sections of Spotify which contain different tracks that I like - a load under the Starred section and then another load under Songs.

What are people'sbest way of managing tracks they want to 'save' in one place for easy access/playback?

And why has this system been implemented? It's not exactly user-friendly - surely a better solution is to have a 'favourite' button on each track (whether it's local, radio, or organically searched for) and just save these in one, single place!
