My Question or Issue

When connected to my desktop (listening on computer/controlling through phone) I can no longer select songs to play from my "Liked Songs" playlist through the phone app. It seems to be registering my input (ie: I get the visual feedback of the song greying out momentarily when I click on it) but it will not play that song. "Liked Songs" is the only place I have this issue. I've removed and reinstalled on both my computer and phone, not sure what else to try.

I tend to use this playlist more than anything and loved being able to change music through my phone since I'm mostly using fullscreen programs when on my computer. Tabbing out to change songs through the desktop app is kind of a pain.

I am also having this issue. I was hoping maybe that if I saved all of my liked songs to a new playlist this would rectify the situation. It did not. How am I able to play songs from all of my other Playlists on my computer controlling them through my phone and not this new palylist? Quite frustrating!

Hello @Groanzone and @bre808eze,

Thanks for getting in touch!

We'd like to find out where the issue is exactly. Could you please try it with a different device to see if the same thing happens? Try it once with a different 'target' device and once with a different 'remote' device.

We'll be able to find out if the issue is in your desktop device or on your mobile device.

Let us know what you can find. Looking forward to your reply.

Have a nice day.

Thanks! It actually worked when I deleted the mobile app and re installed
it.
