Queue ignores genre filters in Liked Songs

[MihailY]

Hey,

We're getting reports that filtering the Liked Songs playlist by genre/mood does not affect the queued songs. When users are filtering their Liked Songs playlist to a certain genre/mood and they play a track, the queue will still have other songs from the playlist which aren't part of the genre filter.

Hey folks! 

Chiming in to bring some clarity on this 🙂
This Ongoing Issue thread was about filtering the Liked Songs playlist by genre/mood not affecting the queued songs. If the filters are overall missing on your end, this would be a separate issue and you can post about it in the Help section of the forum.

Note that we can only guarantee functionality natively, so the abovementioned statement applies to issues with the playback via Sonos or other speakers as well.

Hope this clears things up 🙌🏼

My Question or Issue

 I wanted to bring to your attention an issue I'm experiencing with the genre filter on Spotify. I filtered for "chill" songs, but the playlist is not functioning as expected and is playing EDM songs instead.

My Question or Issue

After updating to 9.0.28 the genre filter in the app would not allow for playback in any genre past the first suggested. Further, playback would not filter to selected genre in the first suggestion, only displaying the applied filter without altering playback order.

Problem is not present on non-Apple devices, and not present in prior releases of the iOS application. Problem was not solved by power cycling the device or through app reinstallation

My Question or Issue

Liked Playlist has a sort option that sorts by Genre. When shuffling the selected Genre, it shuffles ALL liked songs, so when i want to listen to one genre it plays all genres. Never used to do this. Very annoying to be listening to what Spotify categorized "Metal" in my liked songs, and to get Lil Nas X and Drake instead of Metal.

I have had the same issue today with an iPhone 13 and restarted my phone and reinstalled the app and still the same thing for me as well I have tried two different genres and same thing and paying for the premium and it sucks

My Question or Issue

The likes filter by genre feature is glitching out, when I select a genre it'll successfully populate the list but it won't let me play any of the songs besides the first few; if I select anything else the app will just not react, not even loading in the song info at the bottom. The shuffle will play the older liked songs, however.

Furthermore the shuffle just completely ignores the genre filter and will just play the whole likes list like I never selected a genre filter in the first place.

My filters won’t work it only affected my phone and no one was able to help. I try to put rap but it just plays the normal liked songs without the filters. Please resolve the issue

My Question or Issue

If I use a genre while on my liked playlist, it will not play after a certain point. I can click on and play songs from the top few, but after I reach the C’s, it won’t play them and I have to turn the genre filter off. Also want to add that I have a little less than a thousand songs in my playlist.

I feel Spotify is just broken at the minute (annoyingly) because I've been having the exact same issue today

Hi, this is not working for me as well. I’ve done a clean reinstall of the app (following Spotify directions  from another thread on here) and the liked playlist filter is not working for me either. I have an iPhone 14 Plus (IOS 18.3.2) and the lastest Spotify app version (9.0.28.607)
