My Question or Issue

Hi!

 

I accidentally added all my 3729 liked songs to 'liked songs' instead of a 'new playlist'. Now all the 'added dates' changed to '1 sec ago'. I want the date set back to when I originally liked the song. The first ones go back to 2013(?) I think.  I link the date of my liked songs to phases in my life, so I'm really devastated it's all gone. 

 

I contacted the customer service but the guy said he can't do anything to restore the original date. (Don't they have a back-up to restore data from 1 week, 1 month... ago?)

 

Is there maybe something else I can do? 

 

Thanks in advance!

Hi @JorijnA!

 

Currently there isn't a way to restore the original dates tracks were added on. While the folks over at Customer Support can restore previously deleted tracks from a playlist, they cannot restore the original date either, since the tracks are pretty much added again simultaneously on the current date the changes were made.

 

Hope this clears things up. Take care.

I was attempting to duplicate my liked songs to a separate playlist via Control+A on spotify desktop, only for spotify to not only not copy  the songs across, but also completely randomly rearranged my liked songs so the 2000 song 5+ year old playlist shows as having been added 15 minutes ago. Is there any way to undo this?
