My Question or Issue

Yes I know there are other posts complaining about this issue but they just want the like button back, which I understand you obviously removed that for a reason and I actually prefer the new plus icon.

The thing is it’s not like you want to remove the like features, like showing a liked songs option when clicking on an artist.

So why remove this?

Just to clarify I am talking about when you are looking at a playlist, album or artist you see a heart icon next to the songs, this shows if you have liked the song or not and easily allows you to unlike it if you had liked it before.

This feature gave so much clarity to albums, playlists and artists so you could easily see which songs you liked.

I see absolutely no reason to remove this, as you kept the liked songs option when viewing a artist but removed this? And now there is just a bunch of ugly unused space next to every song.

Atleast give us the option to enable this again in the mobile app.

I have had the same issue multiple times, but this has now lasted since February and it is infuriating at times.  Absolutely no reason to take away the feature of being able to see which songs you have liked on a playlist or album.  This is especially necessary on new albums I'm listening to, or the Discover Weekly playlist so I can see where I have left off and/or what I have not yet liked.

I want the heart button back too. It was easy to heart a song in one touch. For some reason they have made it more complicated and annoying. I don't like these changes at all and happy to look for a more user friendly music experience if they continue to make pointless changes that make things harder.

I can't believe they removed this capability again, absolutely infuriating.
