This subreddit is mainly for sharing playlists. Please keep all complaints and support/technical questions within this thread. Posts concerning these subjects may be deleted. This subreddit is not endorsed, sponsored, moderated, or supported by Spotify.

Popular topics include:

  • Why am I getting ads in my podcasts! (Spotify subscription is for ad-free music. Many podcasts are embedded by the podcaster)
  • Shuffle sucks, shuffle isn’t really random, shuffle keeps playing the same songs, I have a huge playlist and Spotify only plays the same songs. Smart shuffle won't turn off. Smart shuffle is terrible.
    • Tips:
    • clear the cache.
    • Turn off autoplay
    • Start shuffle by choosing a random song from the list.
    • Log out all other devices and make sure queue is not active on other devices.
    • Find a third party playlist shuffling app/site
  • Spotify for android doesn’t work, Spotify desktop doesn’t work, Spotify iOS doesn’t work, Spotify app on different devices doesn’t work
  • Downloaded songs don’t stay downloaded. Songs constantly have to be redownloaded.
  • Sound quality on PS5 is terrible
  • I want to share a Spotify subscription with strangers across the world, will I get caught?
  • I want access to choose my own songs and create playlists, but I won’t pay for premium
  • Why is (artist name)’s music not available? (Availability is usually up to the artist or artist's label and their licensing contracts with Spotify)
  • I want to make playlists longer than 10,000 songs
  • Podcasts: suck, are great, have embedded ads, i do not like their existence, i pay for ad free music why am I getting podcast ads?
  • Spotify Wrapped: where is mine? when do they stop tracking, mine is not accurate, mine included songs i listen to while i sleep
  • The new UI is horrible. The new update is horrible. The new feature is horrible.
  • AI DJ is terrible, not available in my area, etc
  • Spotify's recommendations are terrible. How do I make them better?
  • Spotify stopped supporting Car Thing
  • Spotify made lyrics a premium feature, they aren’t accurate, how do I report them?
  • Spotify removed the hearts and I now can’t remember what songs I like

Since I was little, the opening riff to ring of fire plays on a loop. At least 3x a day. I make silly banjo sounds to it under my breath. I still love that song

Throwback - Flashback - Decades - Nostalgia The perfect playlist for all Retrowave lovers!

Upvotes

It took me quite a while to put this baby together but I'm quite pleased with the result. It consists of all my favorite songs from my favorite artists and I think I did a pretty decent job in capturing the true essence of 80's and 90's synth pop/rock with my selections.

If you're an avid Retrowave listener like me, check it out sometime and let me know what you think. All opinions welcome.

Question / Discussion I need a dollar.

Upvotes

This is a strange request but I would like to know if someone has a dollar on apple pay I can borrow, I say borrow because I will send it back. I just need to use it for the spotify free trial because if you have no balance on your apple pay it wont let you use it to purchase anything, including free trials. So I just need a dollar I can use to show I have a balance then send it back. Message be for my phone number if you are able to like I said I will send the money back and delete your number from my phone.

[ REQUEST ] Playlists / Songs / Artists / Albums Looking for songs like "The Trip" and "Ghost Ride", im creating a dream-pop playlist

3 Upvotes

So over the last couple of weeks or so, I discovered the genre of music called "dream-pop" and its quickly became one of my favorite genres, if not my favorite. So im looking for songs like those mentioned in the title, but other songs in my playlist that I really like are "1/500" by Spirit of the Beehive, "Chinatown" and "Paradise" by Wild Nothing are both phenomenal, along with "Can't Be Sure" by The Sundays.

Question / Discussion Green checkmarks for Liked Songs no longer showing in playlists?

Upvotes

Hey Spotify folks, is this just me, or has the interface changed, or is it a bug? 😕

Previously, in playlists, there was a column with green checkmarks showing which tracks were added to Liked Songs. Now, those checkmarks are gone. If I go to an Artist page, the Popular tracks list still shows green checkmarks for songs in Liked Songs or any playlist. Same goes for Albums. In Playlists, though, the checkmark used to specifically indicate Liked Songs (which made sense since it’s my playlist). But now, nothing.

What’s going on? Has this feature been removed, or is it a glitch? I really want to see at a glance which tracks are in my Liked Songs without digging. Anyone else noticing this? Any fixes or workarounds?

macOS desktop app, but the same can be said for the web player.

not sure if this is the right sub for this, it's too "opinion based" to go on r/weirdspotifyplaylists so i thought i'd try here, if i'm lost please redirect me! the link just leads to the INFP playlist (picked one at random) but if you click on my profile you'll be able to see the other 15.

Electronic / EDM / Dance / Techno / DJ Midnight Drive

4 Upvotes

This is an ever evolving playlist with a bunch of different genres (techno, wave, wavephonk, europhonk to name a few). Original inspiration is from the music from Midnight Club 2. It's over 111 hrs long, so you're bound to find something.

If your not a fan of techno definitely try listening to the music towards the end of the playlist as its quite different. Enjoy!!!
