So Spotify recently changed from a green heart and a block song button to and + and a - for liking and disliking. What is your opinion?
My personal preference would be to bring back the green heart and make a deep red broken heart.
And I know spotify is proprietary yada yada I don’t care for music streaming. So pls don’t let it be a part of the discussion.
To reference this is an old screenshot I found on the internet.
Fairphone 🤝
I don’t use Spotify anymore, because paying means less quality for me. But at first I thought this was a joke, because I couldn’t find the dislike (not that it ever did sth in Spotify)
Do you hate grammar and spelling? Reading your text hurts.
Heart*
Liking*
Disliking*
My*and use punctuation. It’s like you’ve made a conscious effort to make it really bad.
Sorry I’m not a English is not my native language. I changed it up so it isn’t that bad
I see the plus, but where is the minus button you mentioned?
Sorry it was a bad screenshot I changed it to a better one
For context the old one was that one
I don’t think that is a like/dislike button, is that not “Add to playlist” or something?
No sadly it isn’t if in the footer it says added to your favorite song in german
I prefer it this way. I like the function of the double tap open up a prompt to choose a playlist, feels more convenient. As for the heart vs plus button, i like the symbology of the plus button more, but that’s personal preference.
A flaw that I heard many times in this teard is that it looks like a volume button
It’s pretty misleading if your not familiar with the interface, isn’t it?
The plus to me signifies that the song will be added to a playlist and personally, I’d be pretty confused if it doesn’t bring up a prompt to choose said playlist. The minus is even more confusing in that context.
It is some kind of what you said. If you press the + button again you get a menu to add the song to a playlist. Another point that I missed is that the “like” button also adds the song to your favorite list.
Funny enough, people had the same reaction when Spotify changed the plus button to a heart a few years ago
It was once already a plus?
YT Music does it best:
yea I also used yt music for over 2 years but it doesn’t work on a de-googled phone. So I switch to spotify because they doesn’t require google play services. One of the things I miss are the in the client integrated music videos on my secondary display
Have you tried MicroG?
Wouldn’t install on my grapheneos phone
I’m just annoyed that it replaces the repeat and shuffle buttons, but only sometimes.
TBH I didnt though about it but yea it’s now gone
Don’t use Spotify and it took me a while to even find the mentioned buttons in the screenshot. Looks like either volume controls or add/remove from playlist. Better would be thumbs up/down.
