Bring back the heart button!

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

I just designed how I believe the heart button could be brought back in a way that merges both the suggestions from the community. My designs brings back the heart button in a way I believe Spotify would be happy with also.

 

You can check out my design process here which includes all the designs at the end - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lTkLkUt1LnI

Disagreed. This feature is awesome and huge improvement on usual flow of adding songs to multiple playlists. 
1 extra step to dislike a song again, 5 steps won when adding to 5 playlists.

> We hope that it will continue to gain support from more users.

Why?

The original suggestion had 48 likes and the news post has 49 likes. At the time of writing this idea has 1093 votes and even assuming there is no overlap between the 2 posts this has 10x more.

 

> For more details about how the Ideas Exchange works, please refer to here.

That says a good suggestion just means it has 50 +Votes in under 3 months. A live idea is ideas that have gathered 180 +Votes in under 6 months.

Why is this just a good suggestion when it has gathered 1080 in 2 months?

PLEASE bring the heart back.
Spotify is almost unusable without it.

For festivals I make a mega playlist with songs from all the artists.

I then listen to it on random and LIKE/HEART songs I like.

Later I then review to see which bands/artists I should listen more to, or go see.

Just because a song is in a playlist does NOT mean I like it.

HAVE A HEART, please.

Isn't being able to view at a glance which songs we really really like in any playlist a must-have feature for any music player ?
What's the point of removing that ?

 

Is Spotify so out of touch with its users ? Are they even using their own product ?

I totally agree

Bring back the hearts! They were so much easier!

The people liking this new add-to-playlist feature must be using it on the mobile app. As far as the desktop app goes, I'm not seeing how it improves much of anything.

 

Doing a drag-drop of one or more selected tracks from the main center panel over to a playlist on the left navigation panel is easier. So is copying one or more tracks via Ctrl-C and then pasting to a playlist via Ctrl-V.

 

I tried using this new add-to-playlist feature and it's not much better than the old tedious right-click method (or clicking on the ...) via the context menu. Am I missing something here?

"The Community team talks with various other Spotify teams several times a month about ideas that have gathered enough votes. It’s from these meetings that we apply one of the following statuses to each idea: 

 

Good Suggestion

Your idea has reached the first threshold - it has more than 50 +Votes in under 3 months. 

 

Live Idea 

Ideas that have gathered 180 +Votes in under 6 months get this status and they are brought to the attention of the Spotify team.

Bonus: We’ll also be looking at ideas that might have been closed initially due to not enough votes but eventually have reached 500 +Votes in under 18 months.

 

Under Consideration

This feature is coming. We have a rough timeline for a release.

 

After this stage there are usually 2 possible outcomes:

 

Implemented

This feature has rolled out. Yay!

 

Case Closed

We talked about this internally but it’s not on our timeline right now. That doesn't mean it never will be."

Spotify: 1124 votes in 75 days!

 

1124 votes in 75 days!!!  There should be a new status:

 

"We were wrong. Sorry, we are that stupid"

Ideas that have gathered 1000 +Votes in under 70 days.

This feels like Spotify took the like button from a helpful feature to a glorified extra playlist. Adding songs to your liked has never been more annoying, and I feel like it's a direct downgrade that they removed the heart that used to appear next to songs. I used to be able to tell at a glance of a playlist which songs I had liked, but now I must check a song individually if I want to know if I liked it.

I disliked the like-button change to start, but was ok with it. However, now that they have removed a feature in the form of changing an important UI component, I am upset. This is the kind of thing that could actually make people consider changing apps.
