When listening to an audiobook a second time, Spotify does not keep track

of my place. All tracks are marked "Finished" from the first listening.

Hey there, 

Thanks for reaching out about this here in the Community. 

Just to confirm, does this only happen with audiobooks or with podcasts as well? 

Additionally, would you mind sending us a short screen recording of this behavior so we can take a closer look? You can attach it to your next response by using the Insert Video option in the post editor. You can also upload it to Google Drive and share the link with us (make sure the video has the permissions for anyone to see it).

We'll be on the lookout for your reply.

Hi there,

I have the same issue with a podcast I'm listening to. It has recently started putting out new episodes, so i'm trying to listen to the old ones again. Unfortunately, because many of them are marked "finished", it randomly skips from whatever episode I'm currently on to the next consecutive episode that does NOT have the "finished" tag... which could be anywhere from 1 to 60 episodes later. It also is extremely difficult to find my place in the list as it is hundreds of episodes long and "unplayed" is not a useful filter considering it is a *second* listen, and I've heard them all at least once before. It makes it extremely difficult to find my place or listen to something more than once. Surely this is frustrating for many users...

Hey @ChrissyP,

Thanks for joining the thread!

Does this only happen with a certain podcast? If that's so, it'd be great if you could send us a link to it. 

Additionally, let us know if you've done any troubleshooting steps such as a clean reinstall for example and it would also be helpful if you could include a screen recording of the behavior as requested by @Eni here.

We'll be on the lookout 🙂
