My Question or Issue

Ever since Spotify introduced a new add-to-playlist UI (the one that pops up and lacks a save button), I have had numerous issues regarding adding songs to playlists.

One issue is that if you tick a playlist and un-tick it, then select another playlist, the song will be added to the playlist you originally selected (but un-ticked) and not the one you selected afterwards.

Another issue: sometimes, when adding a song to multiple playlists, it’ll only be added to one of them. And sometimes, when un-ticking playlists a song had been added to previously, it won’t remove the song from all of the playlists you un-ticked.

Here is a post by Sinefield in another thread, about a separate issue, detailing similar issues to what I’ve been experiencing. These issues are unrelated to and predated the ongoing problem that thread is about.

The new add-to-playlist UI is overall a terrible user experience. Aside from these issues, it is frustrating that it requires you to scroll the UI up after opening it, and you also have to press the back button multiple times if you search or open folders. It’s slower and less convenient to use compared to the previous add-to-playlist UI that worked perfectly fine. I hope that Spotify scrap this awful new UI – but if not, at least that they fix the problems with it.
