Playlist Song Search Bug

Playlist Song Search Bug

Hey, when I search for a certain song or a group in my own public playlist it doesn't play that song. For example I'm searching Nightwish in my playlist, it gives me the results that I want BUT when I click on a song it plays from the very start of my original list like I never made the search. It's really hard to explain.ฤฑ have royal blood lights out as the first song and when I click the first searched nightwish song it doesn't play nightwish and it plays lights out. It's so annoying, please help me with that.

Did you get it fixed? It just started happening on mine

If I search for "Pantera" in my metal playlist and I tap the first song "Cowboys From **bleep**" it instead plays the first song of the playlist. Almost as if I didn't search for anything at all and the songs that I was searching for were just there for show .(best way I could explain it)

happening on mine too, no idea how to fix it

This had been happening a few weeks ago and at one point was fixed but just in the past week it started happening again.

No fix, still the same. This is so annoying, I don't want to try the Reinstall option because I have loads of downloaded songs. We need immediate bug fix for this 

Reinstall does NOT solve the problem. Just tried it, had to download a lot of songs again -> same bug as described.

Guess we'll have to wait for a fix ๐Ÿ˜•

Someone said it still doesn't work even with re-install! So no need to try we have to wait until Spotify fixes bug! 

Both my friend and I are having this same issue! Very frustrating!!

Hey, i am having the sam issue. Its really annoying when you have a playlist with 500+ songs. + the fact that shuffle turns of automaticly when you start a new song. It"s frustrating!

Initially I thought it happens because of my long playlist (+400 songs), but even with smaller playlists it still happena, reinstalling doesn't work either. I really hope it will get fizef soon...

Hey, i heard from spotify that they are working on it. Probily with next
update fixed, they said. So i hope so

Anyone have a fix for this, it's happening for me too on my Android.

Please fix this asap Spotify, having this problem for a week now... Also give Android the feature to swipe songs into the queue like ios, they got this a long time ago. 

Same problem here as well. ๐Ÿ˜•

Hopefully it'll go away with the next update! I have the feeling, it started with the last update. Anyone else noticed this?

 

In the meantime :  Set your playlists to be shown in alphabetical order. Like this, finding your desired song is at least easier! 

I fixed it somehow. 

 

I just downloaded an older version of spotify

This post on ongoing issues says that they're working on it. Hope they patch this soon .

Just got fixed with the new update for me
