[Web Player][Playlists] Playlist sorting

A previous thread on this topic - https://community.spotify.com/t5/Closed-Ideas/Sort-Playlists-Alphabetically/idi-p/699414 - was incorrectly defined as a duplicate and can therefore no longer benefit from user kudos. Spotify, I'd urge you to pay closer attention to the content of the thread, rather than quickly dismissing it. (Thanks, Marco, but perhaps think a little harder next time?) Your mobile app shows that you already understand the desire to sort/filter playlists - not the content of those playlists, but the index/list of playlists - so it's ridiculous that you've not implemented this in the desktop and browser interfaces. I'm no coder, but this can't be tricky stuff. And even if you've got a million other things on your priority list, at least take the time to communicate with us. Many of us are paying users, and we love the service as a whole, but this is some darn basic stuff. A basic feature for you to add, and you can't even take the time to explain why you haven't or whether you ever will. Hell, with Apple looking to cut your lunch, maybe this is the time to sort your crap out. Cheers.

Hello !
It's nice of you to worry about my responding and I'm always open for constructive feedback. If you have any suggestions on how to make the process of dealing with new suggestions better, please send me a PM, thanks!
While my tone might not be totally "patient and understanding" it's far from unfriendly. I would say it's a neutral tone since I was just eager to know why everyone think it's a duplicate although to my understanding it's clearly not. Alas, I still have not received an explaining answer to that irritation.
Regarding this idea here: I just wanted to make sure this time and avoid another "that was not what I meant" issue. Since the author hasn't edited the idea for 2 weeks and this topic here is more of a general discussion about duplicates and tone of replies, I'll go ahead and close this for now. Any of the above matters can be better resolved in PMing me directly - I'm always looking for feedback! Thanks. :)

[Web Player][Playlists] Sort Playlists in Browser

I have a Chromebook and thus use the web player exclusively now. Unfortunately, there is no way to organize and sort playlists or even songs within playlists within the brower version so my playlists are currently a mess. Would love to add sorting features to the web browser version.

How do I create an on-player playlist on a Zen X-fi?

How do I create an on-player playlist on a Zen X-fi? I've been trying to figure it out for some time now, but I can't. It's quite annoying.

According to the iPod's User Guide, the iPod does not support them as they are not listed anywhere.

Ios 5 playlist sorting problem

I'm having a problem with my iPhone 4S playlist sort order after restoring from a backup from my iPhone 4. I have several playlists that I want sorted first, so I've put numbers in front of them. On my iPhone 4, the playlist sort order is correct:
1
2
3
4
A
B
C
However on my iPhone 4S the order is:
A
B
C
1
2
3
4
I can't seem to be able to put my numbered ones first anymore! Anyone know what the problem is or a solution?

Recently Played Playlist sorting

Hello
I recently bought a 6th generation ipod nano...On syncing the nano to my PC I found that the Recently Played playlist sorts in alphabetical order by artist on the ipod but sorts by most recent on itunes...Is there a way to change the sort on the nano? I have already gone into the items under the nano on itunes and changed it in there but the nano does not change.
thanks

My Recently played playlist is not correct. My setting is:
Match all of the following rules:

Media kind is not Podcast
but it does not work, the playlist is not correct.
Delete the rule saying "Playlist is Music" and see what you get.
Also, make sure you have it set for Live Updating.

(HELP!)How can I import Windows Media Player Playlists, into iTunes Playlists, with Music . . for an iPod

How can I import Windows Media Player Playlists, into iTunes Playlists, with Music . . for an iPod
We are having no luck with the thousands of songs we have to manualy add to a particular playlist in iTunes alone. .. there must be a simpler way! How can this be done . . . if there is and it's complicated, is the Genius allowed to help us out with this? They seem to only master Mac's only. . or can they help us? PL E A SE E E HELLPPP!

tt2,
Your very helpful and knowledgeable. I for one appreciate all the hardwork and help you have been giving the people on theses lists, especially with the problems associated with the "importing playlists" from windows media. Unfortunately I need more help if you or someone else can provide it. I followed all the steps you have instructed so far in the threads I have seen. Unfortunately nothing so far works for me. Maybe you or someone can help me, I'd really appreciate it. I tried the notepad++ method and when I click on save I always get a notepad file that my iTunes can't do anything with. I click the "convert to UTF-8 without BOM" then click save as and it still saves as a notepad file. I am also unable to find the \n\ file path to replace with my \C:\ filepath. Here is a copy of the first part of one of my playlists:
<?wpl version="1.0"?>
<smil>
    <head>
        <meta name="Generator" content="Microsoft Windows Media Player -- 12.0.7601.17514"/>
        <meta name="ItemCount" content="161"/>
        <author/>
        <title>Power Surge</title>

        <seq>
            <media src="..\Various Artists\Mixed Tape 2\13 Out of Control.wma" tid="{650561AF-AA9D-4EA3-84CC-2F09C24DF3B3}"/>
            <media src="..\Various Artists\Mixed Tape 1\12 One Step Closer.wma" tid="{EE5ADD9D-A879-404A-BC60-CE841045BCB6}"/>

Now I went and switched the part from <media src="..\ to <media src="C:\ in all the files in hopes that was where I am supposed to have my drive letter but it didn't seem to help. Please forgive my encoding ignorance if that's what my problem is. I hope you can help. Thanks in advance.

ITunes Match Smart Playlist sorting on iOS7 by date added?

Playlist works find on iTunes.
Messed up on both iPad + iPhone
Criteria basically sorts by genre, and only for songs added within X months.
I have tried to add the criteria "Kind = music", and also limiting to 9999 songs, sorted by date.
The first few songs are correct and in the right order, but after that there are just random songs.
Any ideas?

Hi guys, i have cracked it!!
Ok, manage music manually on your iphone, plug into your computer in itunes to do all this
. In each playlist, Sort by date added latest date at top of page
. On yr iphone, make a new playlist, call it ie: chill 2 or pop 2 etc
. Grab the chill playlist from iphone playlist and drag all into chill 2 folder
. Delete chill playlist from iphone
. Rename chill 2 playlist to be 'chill' same name as itunes playlist so it can sync when you sync again
I did this with all my playlists, within the iphone itself whilst connected to computer itunes, now on my iphone, i see all my playlists as date added not alphabetical!!
This has annoyed me for ages!! So glad i cracked it!! Found no answers on the internet, but so many people asking!!
Cheers and goodluck

[Playlists] Sorting my playlists (not sorting songs, artists, etc within playlists)

When I first got my Spotify account I could created a playlist and they were automatically listed (sorted) alphabetically. It worked great for me. All of my playlists I denoted iWorkout, iFocus, iChill, iWakeup, etc. Then followed up with the genre of music last, for example... iWorkout - Rap, iWorkout - Rock, etc. If I was working out all of my workout lists were grouped. If I needing to focus, to chill, to wakeup! I could easily find what I wanted. At some point an update came through and all of my playlists are listed by creation date?? I guess?? Sucks monkey balls. Now my playlists are all over the place and the ones that I use the most I have to scroll all the way to the bottom to find, why? Because I created them first... and we can't even sort ascending or descending by creation date. It's just dumb - my opinion. It's been months... I assumed others would complain for me, but it's not returned or been enhanced. So, here's my complaint. Please return the sorting to alphabetical or give us the option to sort them as we prefer, by date created, by alphabet, by last accessed, or whatever others may be asking for. Thanks-so-much

Still no Playlist sorting options-Deal breaker.

I have been a strong supporter of Spotify since the beginning. In fact, I pay for 2 (that's right 2) Premium accounts in my household. That is about to change. The lack of easy Playlist sorting is unforgiveable. I can't count how many times I've almost wrecked my car looking for my Chet Baker playlist and have to scroll down down down when it could be easily found if I could sort things alphabetically. It's a basic function and I could swear it used to be available. It's too bad because I absolutely love Spotify otherwise. So any recommendations on a service that is similar to Spotify but has the very basic and standard function of sorteable lists/folders? Thanks a ton!

I can sort my giant list of playlists by name, date etc. but can't find a way to do this while using the Windows version of Spotify on my laptop. This is silly.

[Web Player] Lite version of the Web Player

Web player of spotify in it full glory can be hogging more than 500 MB. Can there be a thinner more tamed version of the player, which just has a flash player and may be a playlist with a search bar.
It can be thought of as a mobile version of the same page.

Updated: 2015-07-20Marked as new idea and edited the title slightly to make it easier to find via search and differ from a similar idea about a lite version for the desktop app here. ;)

Web player wont stream

I been watching the football then the web player just kills over error vc025 the faq is pointless and gives no help for that error code.
Closed browser and restarted nothing
rebooted pc and nothing.
why are they so rubbish at sorted out there own web player to make it work fully.

bt really need to drop the **bleep** that is microsoft silverlight.
would help if the status page told the truth
"We're aware of an intermittent problem that may be preventing some customers from logging into the BT Sport App and online browser.
If you are already logged in successfully you will not be affected.
Our engineers are working to fix the issue as quickly as possible"
as i was logged in and still got affected

Web player not working in Chrome

The web player stopped working in Chrome for me today. Looks like Spotify are trying to load insecure content whilst on HTTPS so Chrome is blocking everything.
http://grab.by/v8FY

Same problem, but because of doubleclick ads :
[blocked] The page at 'https://play.spotify.com/user/11131337430' was loaded over HTTPS, but ran insecure content from 'http://ad.doubleclick.net/adj/N2520.1804341.SPOTIFY.COM/B8039078.2;sz=800x235;ord=1395008919365?': this content should also be loaded over HTTPS.

DIVX Plus Player Web Player-gives error message when starting

I have a MacBook Pro (10.6.7) when i attempt to play any tutorials on the Apple Site, i.e. Iphoto,iCal, MobileMe etc,etc I get the following error, it begins to look like it is going to play than I receive:
DIVX PLUS WEB PLAYER
What you are trying to play has failed to download and can no longer play.
Thanks in Advance

I'm not sure why it does this but it's SO VERY ANNOYING!
But you can easily fix this issue with a few clicks... Go into safari Preferences and click the Extensions tab. DISABLE the 2 DIVX Extensions within extensions tab. This is allow Safari to play the videos in QT like it should.
Not really a fix but atleast you can play the QT videos on Apple's Site!
BTW, If you get a Permanent fix Please Update the Post so I to can have sanity once again when drooling over new apple needs!

DivX Web Player is no longer working.

DivX Plus Web Player HTML 5 [video] is incompatible with Firefox 4.0b8. <=(disable reason)
So i can no longer stream my fav movies. Also, when i click play, sometimes my trafic bar goes crazy like it's downloading from the source, but i have no image or sound just like the divx web player is crashed.
So please can you help me? The web player worked on FF 3 and on Opera...
Also, Bitdefender Antiphishing Toolbar, Cooliris and some Microsoft Framework stuff are incompatible with Firefox 4.

This problem must be huge...
IF you just did the ver 4 upgrade a little while ago, stop and use the windows restore utility to restore your computer to a restore point before the ver 4 upgrade.... You will not lose data, and perhaps reverse setting changes that the ver 4 upgrade does that can't be undone... No one has recommended this yet!!
