Recovering all songs accidentally deleted from 1500 song playlist

Somehow I deleted every song inside a 1500 song playlist. Is there any way to recover the songs? Maybe a history of playlists stored somewhere in memory on my desktop? The playlist itself was not deleted so this doesn't work.

Im afraid that you'll need to re-sync the playlist.

I don't know of any way to recover the songs. 😞

In case this happens to anyone else, this is what I did to fix it. I luckily noticed before using my phone. I switched my phone to airplane mode and opened Spotify. The playlist was still preserved because it hadn't yet synced the deletion. Fortunately it was mostly an album-based playlist, so it took me about 30 minutes to scroll through and re-add all the songs on my desktop. Then when I turned off airplane mode, my phone resynced with the re-established playlist from my computer.

I got lucky, but this is one option if you have some time on your hands and manage to catch it in time to fix it.
