My Question or Issue

I have noticed that my liked songs are not synchronizing between my devices.

My main device is my phone. During all this process, i have to say that i still have my songs library on my phone, and it works... for now. I have made a backup on an excel file just in case.

My PS4 app refused to load my library, then i noticed that my computer app didn't synchronized my liked songs library.

After some tries, i noticed that if i create a playlist and add songs, it does synchronize on all my devices.

I thought the issue was over, but when i tried to add songs in my liked songs library, it didn't work anyway.

I tried to see if i could find my liked songs library on the internet browser. They are not here, they won't synchronize, but still, playlists do.

So I checked if anyone had the same problem and i have tried the common answers. Please don't  tell me to try to do these 3 things below, because i already tried them.

- Uninstalling and Reinstalling the Computer and PS4 app. There is no uninstalling for the web app, but i tried erasing all cookies and cleaning the cache from my browser.

All it did was définitely erase my list of liked songs from my computer. I was angry. 

- I have only one single account. There is no possible issue about multiple accounts. I am certain of that because the playlists do synchronize, even if my liked songs library don't.

- There is no issue with my internet connection. My liked songs list won't synchronize, but my playlists do. That's how i know that there is no problem there.

I have seen that multipl topics are appearing on the subject, maybe there is a patch coming for this issue?

Hello,

The synchronization just randomly came back, and i dont know what happened.

This is still weird and i still want to know what happenned, as i still feel that my playlist is going to randomly be deleted...

I have been having the same issue on ps5 and it doesn't seem that spotify needs an update yet, hopefully it fixes soon

Hey @Ratjunk,

Thanks for posting here.

In case you've many songs in the Liked Songs playlist, it could take a bit longer for the playlist to sync up.

No worries. The songs won't get deleted. If you want to revert the songs to a specific point in time, you can reach our to our support team. The folks there will be happy to help.
