Bring back the heart button!

[Urticlaire]

It's SUPER frustrating, we can't see which songs we liked in our own playlists, Bring back the heart button PLEASE, the new way doesn't work AT ALL

Hi the_observer, the screenshots are from Apple Music. Yes, there is a cross-fade option.

RE: 03-ckyvl_ivh5: Thanks for the screen shots. I recently did the 1-year premium to Tune My Music and plan to start using it for moving my PLs around as I try out other music services. If I can't TAG tracks (regardless of the symbol ... heart, star, thumb-up, whatever, don't care) while building playlists on Spotify, then I'll find some other service that provides that functionality.

Edit: Just noticed this "idea" has passed 1,000 votes. Nice.

VOTE for "Additional Green Checkmark for Same Song on OTHER Albums"

Dear Spotify, we all like you, that’s why we are here. Just it is harder and harder to like you after all your experiments, numerous issues that you don’t solve for years, increasingly frustrating interface and ignoring customers. New ideas are always welcome, but people generally don’t want to be forced into something they don’t like (see Windows for example). If you have something new, make old as an option, and everyone is happy! And if you think that being dominant in the market is something written in stone, ask Nokia for advice…

This!!! I hate this plus thing they have! It sucks and I have to manually change which songs go into which playlists. The fact that I now have to manually add a song to my liked songs playlist instead of it automatically doing it when I press the + button sucks! BRING BACK THE HEART!!

Spotify lets us give feedback on their product but barely replies to the
feedback. They don't give any answers on this matter and we are shouting in
the void. Maybe we don't get what we like, but at least tell us that. This
way people eventually stop participating and finally loose interest in this
product/company. Is Spotify too big to fail? Because, as consumers, we
should be able to find another supplier of these kind of service who will
offer what we like. So, maybe we should slowly move to the exit... If we
dare, and are able to take our database with us and implement that with the
service of Spotify's competition...

Couldn't agree more. The Like button was absolutely fine the way it was, and I desperately need it back.
If you wanna do this weird and - in my opinion - useless "add to playlist" checkmark thingy, by all means do that as well. But NOT instead of the Like!
Do not take away important and good features from your customers. I mean, what is wrong with you?!

As a power user, my workflow in Spotify looks like this: All new music I wanna check out goes into a special playlist. Then I listen through it and things that I like on the first listening round get marked as "liked". Later, perhaps on another day, I'll give this a second round but focus only one the songs that I didn't mark as liked in the first round, and then decide to give it either a like or remove it. And once all that is done, I'll listen through all liked songs one more time to see if I wanna keep those or maybe remove some. And then I'll sort the liked songs into one or multiple of my different playlists, where I have playlists by genres but also by year, plus a bunch of additional.
Up until the change it was easily available at a glance which songs I wanna listen through next, now I simply cannot organize this properly anymore.

Way to **bleep** of your loyal customers, good job!

Agreed, this new likes system is way too clunky and either they remove it or fix it.

Hopefully they will bring it back - new year, new heart

You're right about Spotify having to do the + button "as well", next to and
not instead of the heart. Absolutely right, that's the core of the problem.
Weird that the UX designers at Spotify don't get that.

But you're wrong thinking that the new "add to playlist" way is useless. I
consider myself a power user and I have embraced this new feature with all
its advantages. So let's keep that and simply bring back the heart as a
separate button.
