RETURN THE LIKE BUTTON

[juzh]

I don't care if this has been submitted a hundred times over, you Spotify devs clearly need to hear it. You should *not* have to go through the effort of finding the "liked songs" playlist, just to add a song to Liked, when you have a ton of playlists. Playlists don't even sort like they used to, it seems almost random which playlists show first despite which ones I interacted with last - but that's not the issue here; it's just yet another downside of the problem at hand.

Please. Please. Please.

Bring back the **bleep** 'liked'/heart button on songs and albums. Having to add liked songs to my liked playlist manually just leads to me adding it to different playlists because it's so **bleep** tedious in the first place. I've been adding songs to playlists and then using the PC version to mass-add songs to Liked because you make it so inconvenient on mobile. This isn't user-friendly in the slightest.

Just, why? Why can't you just bring back the little heart? I thought the point of liked songs was to add songs then and there; not to have to stop in the street to add a song to a playlist because it now takes several seconds to do so. I've been paying for Premium since 2009, and now I'm wondering if you're worth the effort. Fire whoever told you it was a good idea to remove the Liked button, seriously. Fire yourselves for listening, too.

YES THIS. I hate this new add to playlist feature so much. It messes with the way I add songs to my likes and just keeps adding songs to the last playlist I added songs to.

I absolutely despise the plus button. Whoever came up with this idea should be fired. The like button worked perfectly fine, and as others have said, scrolling through one of my playlists to see which songs are liked is impossible now. If I am scrolling through a playlist that I made, then believe it or not, I actually know that the songs on that playlist are on a playlist. How stupid are the programmers at Spotify?

You know what's funny? It's the fastest-growing idea ever submitted in 2023 (1000 upvotes within 2 months of posting is unprecedented) and Spotify still haven't cared to respond. They really do care a lot about us.

After this absurd change, I've been looking at competing apps.
The truth is, Spotify is falling far behind in terms of usability.
Look how simple it is, Spotify: You like a song, you mark it, a little star is placed next to the title, and it appears everywhere as a favorite, on all the lists. Simple and it works. And in the desktop version it is even simpler.

And this? Even though it has nothing to do with hearts. You can add a pre-release album to your library, complete! This way you avoid the continuous drip of singles, and it even marks the singles with a small circle.

The truth is, I find fewer and fewer reasons to stay on Spotify.

Hi Roadie, I completely agree. Which one are these screenshots from? And do you know if it has a similar cross-fade facility?

I don't care if Spotify doesn't like us discussing other options, they have left me with no choice, it's useless to me without the hearts/similar indicator. I've only been waiting in the hopes they fix it but I'm losing the will, I'd literally rather start all over again with a new one now.

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…

[xo-harris-2000]

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...
