Can't delete songs on Starred playlist using mobile app

[user-removed]

As of yesterday (I think my Spotify app updated yesterday), when I swipe right on a song in my Starred playlist, it no longer brings up the button to delete that song. This isn't a problem with any of my other playlists on mobile, and I can still delete songs from my Starred playlist using the Spotify computer program. This is just a problem with the Starred playlist on mobile. Help?

I've tried to remove songs from my starred list, but it won't let me. I can't swipe left to delete and when I press the three dots in the top right hand corner it doesn't give me a delete option. Two iPhones use my Spotify premium subscription and neither can delete.

Both phones are an iPhone 5S on iOS 7.1.2 and using the new update for Spotify.

Exeriencing same issue. Up until last night I could swipe left to delete from star list, now that doesn't work and there are no other options. iphone 5S, iOS 7.1.2 and latest version of Spotify (as already tried deleting and resinstalling the app).

I deleted and reinstalled too on my device and the other device it's installed on with no joy.

Can you delete from other playlists (don't have my iPhone to hand to test)?

[LordBenzo]

I created a playlist specially to test it and yes, I can delete from other lists but not my starred list. I think it's a bug.

I'm asking around about this now.

Thanks! Hopefully this gets sorted soon. 🙂

Can confirm Spotify are aware of this issue and working on a fix. 🙂

I've had the same problem since yesterday and spent a lot of time on a day off work trying to figure it out. No luck so far. Very frustrating as I add and delete songs to my starred playlist everyday., and very disappointing given the fact that I pay for this service. Has anyone come up with a solution to this problem?

. . . yeah, same thing
I used my laptop to make a duplicate of the stared playlist that I can edit. . .
(create new playlist, selected all songs from Stared and dropped them into new playlist)
but this will lead to another problem:
the stared playlist is pinned to the top of the playlists
my duplicate will get lost under new playlists I create. . . because the iOS app doesn't allow playlist ordering (though the laptop and iPad do)

frustrating, hope it is addressed in the next update

perhaps they are just (force) phasing out the new Stared idea. . .

How can I remove songs in the favorite playlist? It's supposed to be like in the other playlist, sliding the finger from right to left, but now nothing happens. And there isn't any remove option anywhere, or at least I can't find it. Help please! Million thnx

This has stopped working since the last update. 1.0.6

It's now impossible to delete songs from the "starred/favorites" playlist. Can only be done through the desktop player.

Also, i can delete tracks from any playlist including the Starred Playlist easily from the laptop, however those changes aren't mirrored on the iPhone. All my Starred Playlist tracks are gone from my laptop, but are still hanging around on my iphone. Any changes that i make to anything else are pretty much instantly synced to my iPhone (i.e i delete a track from my "Gym" playlist using my laptop, then by the time i've picked up my phone to check, it's already gone). 

Not so with the Starred Playlist.

Have the same issue, only is a problem on iPhone. Neither iPad nor Mac has this problem. Version 1.6.0.1746.

In the starred playlist i find that some items can be deleted however when you do it it tells you the items was removed from your music, this is becuase its saved to my music separately from the playlist. And the item doesn't leave the starred playlist, it just gets unsaved from my music. The attached picture shows this.

This definitely seems to be a bug.

I've already escalated this to the Spotify team, you guys will hear back on this in just a bit!

[jeremygoh]

Merged a few threads together into one consolidated thread, hope that clears things up!

[Hirlingers]

Thanks so much for taking the initiative to help fix this problem! : ) I look forward to a (hopefully quick) response from Spotify.

UPDATE
@Hirlingers and friends, just heard back from Spotify this morning, they are working on this! There'll be a fix for this soon.

Thanks jeremygoh, you rock!
