[Desktop][Playlists] Paste Songs in Playlist at Specific Point

[brayden1121]

With the new UI update the ability to paste songs at a certain point in a playlist seems to be missing.

I have some pretty long playlists that I use custom ordering with. Having the ability to paste songs I recently added to it at a certain point was really helpful. This allowed me to highlight a song near where I wanted the new songs to go and when  I pasted the cut songs would be pasted right below it. This saved a lot of time because I didn't need to drag songs from the bottom of the playlist after they were added through the playlist for minutes at a time.

This was a great feature and I hope something to replace it or the feature is reinstated. It appears that right now when I try to do this the songs are pasted at the end of the playlist. I have not found a new feature or workaround to this at the moment.

This idea implies the existence of the ability to cut rather than just copy songs in a playlist as well so I didn't feel the need to create a separate idea post for that feature. This also doesn't have to be exactly as I described it. A way to move songs to a certain point in a playlist in any way is just what I am looking for.

I know the UI is brand new so these are probably just the growing pains but I'd love to see this feature added at some point.

Thanks!

Hey, since it seems a lot of "restore cut function" request posts have been merged into this therad I thought I'd mention that the cut function seem to be working again with version 1.1.77.643.g3c4c6fc6 (so hopefully anyone in this thread missing the cut function get that version rolled out to them soon, assuming the restored cut function works again with that version and it isn't something fixed serverside independent of that version).

This has been fixed, both cut and paste! Excellent work! 🌹

Hey!
We've been keeping an eye on this submission for an extended period of time, and it doesn't seem this will reach the votes necessary to put it forward for prioritization.
As such, we're marking this case as closed. This includes any similar suggestions that are received.

If we do have any new information to share, rest assured we'll check back in here with a new status. Have in mind that the idea will continue open for getting votes, so if you still feel strongly about it, continue sharing it with more users.

Thanks for your comprehension!

Hi everyone,

Thanks for coming to the Spotify Idea Exchange and voting to make this happen.

We're super happy to announce that this is now possible on the desktop app! You can cut/copy songs with Ctrl+X/Ctrl+C (on Windows; Cmd+X/Cmd+C on Mac) and paste them in the desired location in your playlists with Ctrl+V (on Windows; Cmd+V on Mac)!

For more info on all other keyboard shortcuts check out this article.

Once again, thanks for helping us make Spotify better, by participating here on the Community.

Stay awesome!

Huh, I thought this was already fixed a few months back. Regardless it's nice to see it fixed (maybe the fix was rolled out later in some other regions and/or for some other platforms I guess?).
