Spotify-curated playlist removed?

[Buktop67]

Hi folks,

I'm not able to find "1980s Ambient" (nor, for that matter, 1970s or 1990s).
The one with this cover:

Is it only me or do you experience the same?
If latter, why would Spotify remove such lovely playlists of its own?

Cheers!

Hey, I’m glad someone else is experiencing this too because the ambient playlists by Spotify were my favorite!! It won’t even let me view the playlists anymore from my listening history, it’s upsetting. I hope they come back sometime soon!!

yeah my spotify generated mixes arent working either.  getting concerned- this had better not be a permanent removal.

Hey folks

Thanks for reaching out to the Community.

Spotify often updates or removes existing curated playlists, but if you still have the links to them, you can still have access. We’re sorry that this means you’re not able to listen to the playlist like you wish to do at the moment. To prevent this from happening in the future, if you're enjoying a curated playlist, we'd recommend copying all the tracks into your own playlist to continue listening to it in case it gets removed or changed. 

However, the generated mixes should be working properly @lorderok. Since this could be caused by some damaged cache stored on your device, we'd recommend performing a clean reinstall of the app by following the steps in this article as it will replace all damaged files and ensure you're running the latest version of the app. 

If the issue persists, include more details about the issue in your next response, along with the following information:

• Make and model of your device
• Exact OS version
• The Spotify version you're currently running

We'll be on the lookout.

Hi
Any chance to have these Ambient XXs playlists re-instated? I wasn't able to find anything similar in playlists and those were real unique gems.

I also had an official Spotify curated playlist called Gentleness (maybe Softness) that had a cherry blossom on the cover that I can’t find anymore. This is really frustrating. I don’t understand why you guys would delete playlists since thousands of people have liked them. Is there any way to find the link to an archive of this anywhere?
