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.

  • Playlist sorting options

    I would love to be able to sort my playlists by Artists, then drill down by album so as not to clutter my Spotify. It's pretty hard to organize my playlists the current way. Any ideas on a future iteration that will enable this capability?

    Please implement alphabetical sorting at the least.  It is something I have considerd lacking since day one.  I still love the service and have paid for nearly 3 years now, but it seriously needs better sorting options so that I can instantly get to an album/playlist.  It's daft because it all has to be done manually, and android puts new playlists at the top and mac at the bottom of the list.  Just a button to organise, it can't be that difficult?  I fail to see why all these apps and integration can be used to best effect without proper sorting options.  It really is a drag, people.  Thanks for listening...

  • Playlist sorting options: Syncing between Desktop/iPhone

    Does anyone know how/why playlists aren't organized the same between iPhones and the Desktop? For example, I have a playlist that I've curated using my iPhone for songs to play in a particular order. When I open Spotify on my desktop, this order is obsolete and I can only organize the songs by category (title, artist, length, date added).  Can anyone advise on how to solve this issue? Thanks!

    Hello Sapozhnik, I'm afraid I'm new to Mac/iOS development myself so I don't have any specific information for you but as I understand things you could take one of these approaches:
    You could send the data entered from the iPhone/Mac to an online database as soon as it's entered and retrieve it from said database when it's loaded into a view, the issue with this approach is that the app is useless if the user doesn't have a connection.
    You could store the data on a local database (for both the Mac and iPhone) and then synchronize the local database with an online database when the user connects.
    I'd look into SQLite and mySQL for storing the information you want to transfer. My suggestion would be taking the second option so the user does not require an internet connection to use your application. If it were me I'd look at syncronizing two local SQLite databases with one online mySQL database. The challenge will be determining which update(s) to sync with the online database as the user could make changes to the desktop app and the mobile app prior to connecting to the internet.
    I know I haven't included any code as I currently have no idea how that would be written but hopefully it helps if you're looking for a direction to go in.

  • [All Platforms][Playlists] Playlist sorting

    Add ability to sort playlists alphabetically or arrange them in whatever order the end user prefers to more easily go through the playlists.

  • [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

  • Sort Folders in Library by Date or other sort options

    I find myself hunting for folders that I've imported in the Library module.
    It would be so nice if there was an option to sort folders in the Library by date imported or date last edited or ANYTHING other than alphabetically. Seems like a easy and really obvious fix.
    Thanks!

    I too use folders as a primary means of organization. In fact, if Lightroom did not support folders, it would have been a deal breaker - I absolutely would not have bought it, period - its that important to me). We are perhaps a dieing breed - but not dead yet.
    I use collections extensively too for organization, but more for special purposes as opposed to a "lowest common denominator of organization" (folders).
    That said, I name my folders so they show up in the order I want them too - i.e. use a prefix (e.g. numeric) and they'll always be ordered properly. Interesting note: Lighroom is smart enough to auto-detect numeric prefixes and order them correctly without needing to pad with zeros (e.g. '2 Day After New Years' will come before '10 Resolutions - Holding Firm'). However, plenty of other software is not, so I pad anyway (e.g. '02 Day After New Years'... - that way they show up in the correct order when served via DLNA or anything that has alphabetic ordering but is not "numeric-prefix-smart" like Lightroom.
    PS - One of the functions of my up-n-coming Lr-sidekick-app/plugin duo is a (possibly full length) folder pane (which would generally be placed on an auxiliary monitor) - so folders are available in develop mode too. I may add a folder-sort option, although I don't need it m'self.
    Cheers,
    Rob

  • Sidebar;  a real joke; DEAL BREAKER FOR LEOPARD

    The Sidebar is impossible to read. I am 58; use special glasses for work on my
    23" Hp Monitor on my dual 2.0 G5; MBP 15".
    I can't read the sidebar. The Icons and Font size is RIDICULES; I NEED TO BE ABLE TO MAKE THOSE SO I CAN READ THEM.
    Apple are you listening?
    This is a deal breaker for me. I have installed Leopard on a Dual G5, MBP ; 20" Intel Imac. I will be going to my Carbon Copy Cloner backup and move them all back to OSX 10.4.10.
    So SAD; SAD; SAD. Especially when this where Apple usually shines.

    Download "TinkerTool" from www.bresink.de
    Ignore the Warning about possible incompatibilites - the program will not harm your system.
    Then, in the "Font smoothing" options, set to:
    "Turn of font smoothing for font sizes 144 pt and smaller"
    close the application
    log out and log back in.
    or/and, if this still Works:
    Create a Directory in your home Folder called ".MacOSX"
    inside there, create a textfile named "environment.plist" with the following content:
    <pre>
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
    <!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple Computer//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
    <plist version="1.0">
    <dict>
    <key>QDTEXT_ANTIALIASING</key>
    <string>0</string>
    <key>QDTEXT_MINSIZE</key>
    <string>144</string>
    </dict>
    </plist>
    </pre>
    log out and log back in.
    Does it look better then ? Dont know if that helps but give it a try.
    Btw. I thought I did hear something about 10.5 offering "resolution independent" display - but find nothing related to this.
    Anyone else noticed this too ?

  • 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?

  • E1200 - Terrible download performance was a deal-breaker

    I was trying to decide between this model and the Netgear, both low-cost, basic wireless routers. My last Netgear had died rather earlier than I expected (about 4 years) so I gave the Linksys a try.
    The installation experience started out easy, but quickly turned frustrating. At first I thought everything was working, but after a few hours I noticed that web sites that normally loaded very quickly were taking quite a long time, and file downloads sometimes became painfully slow. A quick check on speedtest.net showed that I was only getting 0.5-2 Mbps, which is about 1/20th what CNet's lab tests showed in their review, and about 1/10th what I was getting on the wired connection to my desktop. Strangely, upload performance was fine at 4Mbps (the same performance as the wired desktop saw) so I was pretty convinced it was some configuration problem and not (say) signal strength.
    Diagnosing the problem wasn't made any easier by Cisco's software, which makes basic setup very easy but hides details like channel settings behind something called "Wireless Protected Setup" which was never clearly explained anywhere. (There is a "Wireless Protected Setup" button on the unit itself, whose purpose I'm still not clear on.) I turned Wireless Protected Setup off in order to access the usual wireless settings, but nothing I did seemed to make much difference.
    Technical support from Cisco was also not helpful. The live chat feature went all right until my network connection flaked in the middle of something we were trying, and at that point I stopped being able to give them information even though I could see what they typed. After not hearing from me for a few minutes they assumed I had fixed the problem (!) and closed the ticket. Given that we were diagnosing network issues, that seems like an overly optimistic assumption!
    I should note that Cisco's software has its own speed test utility, which is nice, but I couldn't use it on my laptop (where the problem was) because Cisco's installer complained that I needed to install using an account with administrator privileges. This was bunk, since my account definitely has administrator privileges, so I'm not sure what was going on with that; in any case speedtest.net worked fine so I stopped worrying about that part of the problem.
    Finally I went to a local Best Buy and purchased a Netgear. Five minutes later I was getting 20Mbps down, 4Mbps up, very much in line with what I would have expected. I'll be returning the Linksys shortly. Possibly this unit was simply defective, although I would have expected both download and upload speeds to suffer in that case.
    Overall, if the unit had performed according to spec, I would have been fine with the other limitations (tech support, awkward software) given the low cost, no-frills nature of the product. But the performance was a deal breaker. I reserve one-star reviews for products that are completely nonfunctional, intentionally fraudulent, or actively dangerous, but the e1200 certainly falls near the bottom of the range.

    The Linksys E1200 Wireless-N Router lets you access the Internet through a 2.4 GHz wireless connection or by using one of its four-port switch. As you mentioned in your post that you were getting a good speed on wired connection, however the speed on your wireless computer was not as good as you expected.
    In this scenario, you could change the channel on your wireless router to either 1,6,9 or 11 and keep your router in an open space, if possible somewhere at the top.
    The recommended security mode is WPA2/WPA mixed mode. Any other lower security type set on the router will reduce the speed on the wireless computers.
    Also, if you have more than one wireless computers, see if you are getting the same speed on the other computer or not?
    Transmission speed on wireless devices with a N-Series router and N-Series adaptor is above 100mbps which means router is capable enough to handle the speed that you get from your ISP. It's just the proper configuration which has to be done in order to get the optimum performance.
    Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) is a feature that makes it easy to add devices to your wireless network.  The WPS button is located either on the front or back panel of your Linksys device.
    For more information WPS: Read the following article http://www6.nohold.net/Cisco2/ukp.aspx?pid=80&vw=1&articleid=17336
    Incase, you have any difficulties operating Cisco Connect software, you could download the latest version of Cisco Connect from the linksys website. http://homesupport.cisco.com/en-us/support/routers/E1200
    Also, depending upon the hardware version of the device, we need to ensure that the firmware version on the device is the latest one. The firmware could also be downloaded from the same web address. http://homesupport.cisco.com/en-us/support/routers/E1200

  • CC is a deal-breaker for me. I'm off to look for similar software. Skip

    CC is a deal-breaker for me. I'm off to look for similar software. Skip

    First, let me freely and proudly confess.  I do not use Adobe products to earn my living.  I'm a retired military guy within six months of qualifying for social security.  I'm not likely to matter in anyway within Adobe's marketing schemes.
    I started using Photoshop way back on Windows 3.  I started using Indesign when Quark was the darling of printing shops.  I switched to Dreamweaver after less than happy experiences with competing software . . . and HTML5 wasn't even a blip in the common imagination.  Now, I own Creative Suite Master Collection 6.
    Many of us purchased Adobe software which they abandoned within a year or two or three.  That's on us.  Didn't think Creative Suites would be another one.  That's on me.
    I'm an economic non-entity.  I know that.  I use Adobe software, when the opportunity arises, to support nonprofits.
    Whether or not I switch--is that an upgrade?--to "Creative Cloud" doesn't matter.
    The writing was on the wall when Adobe stopped publishing print manuals.  They must have eliminated a host of printing and distribution costs with that move.  Now, they seem to have eliminated the cost of publishing and distributing DVDs.  Sound move . . . from a CFO's point of view, I would think.
    Doesn't mean I won't switch/upgrade to the "Creative Cloud."  Since I normally upgrade at the issue of each new version, I'm still weighing the benefits/cost to an old guy who goes back almost to Photoshop 1.0.  I just don't buy the hype that Adobe implements this model for the benefit of all their old and potential customers.
    I just don't know.
    Maybe I'll try it out for a year.  Or, not.

  • Disable sort option in ALV GRID DISPLAY

    Hi Experts,
    I have an Alv output with fixed layout, means user should not be allowed to edit/sort/toggle any of the columns, particularly sort functionality should be removed.
    I have already tried the function code logic with excluding table. That only makes the sort option disappear. Still when you select a particular column and right click, you will find that the Sort in Ascending order' and 'Sort in descending order' functions are still enabled. This was already raised as a thread but not answered.
    [alv sort option]
    Please help.
    Note: Disabling the icon doesnt help in disabling the functionality.

    Try by excluding the entire Sort group. Like:
    Data:
    t_toolbar_excld1 type ui_functions, "buttons to exclude
    wa_toolbar_excld&1 like line of t_toolbar_excld1.
    wa_toolbar_excld1 = cl_gui_alv_grid=>MC_FG_SORT.   " <<
    APPEND wa_toolbar_excld1 TO t_toolbar_excld1.
    CALL METHOD r_alv_grid1->set_table_for_first_display
      EXPORTING is_variant = w_is_variant1
         is_layout = w_is_layout1
         i_save = c_alv_save_cd
         it_toolbar_excluding = t_toolbar_excld1
      CHANGING it_outtab = my_table
        it_fieldcatalog = t_fieldcat1.

  • Sort option

    i have a formula that retreives a date time stamp based upon a modification to the data.
    i created a datepart formula to retreive the month, day , year, and time
    then concatenated it to use in the sort option
    i am unable to use this formula as a group of a sort option.
    this is my formula(same for day, month, year, time)
    if {@modification type}='O' then (datepart('d',{PR_ITEM_HIST_RPT;1.CREATE_DATE})  )
    else if {@modification type}='U' and {PR_ITEM_HIST_RPT;1.Pack_chnge_date}>={PR_ITEM_HIST_RPT;1.CHANGE_DATE}
    then (datepart('d',{PR_ITEM_HIST_RPT;1.Pack_chnge_date}))
    else if {@modification type}='U' and {PR_ITEM_HIST_RPT;1.Pack_chnge_date}<={PR_ITEM_HIST_RPT;1.CHANGE_DATE}
    then (datepart('d',{PR_ITEM_HIST_RPT;1.CHANGE_DATE}))
    then i use this
    totext({@datepart mnth}&{@datepart day}&{@datepart year}&{@time part})
    what would be hindering my use of this?

    Not sure why it does not work, but I suspect it has to do with your concantenation.
    Instead of breaking out the date components and then concantenating, try using the following formula to generate your sorting factor:
          ToText(Date(field))

  • Nokia N8 to have sorting options

    After updating to Anna, the songs are all messed up - songs from various artistes are separated from the main album especially soundtrack from movies albums. I wish Nokia could look into this issue and hope that there is a sorting options - eg. sort by albums, artistes, names...

     I'm not really into using a phone as a music player but from what I've read on these forums, the music player on the N8 is abysmal. After 12 months and several updates later, it looks like it still is abysmal so I wouldn't expect them to do anything about it now.

  • IPhone4 will not pair with a Prius - a deal breaker!

    I cannot pair my iPhone4 with my Prius. Tried everything - bluetooth on and off, disabling 3G, rebooting the phone soft, rebooting the phone hard, rebooting the Prius. Nothing. This is a deal breaker for me. The iPhone4 is being returned.

    The iPhone 4 sounds every bit as crappy when paired with my Prius as the 3G and 3GS did. Well... I take that back. I can hear the caller slightly better. But the caller still can't hear me for all of the noise, drop-outs, and muffled sound. I still get a screeching noise when I try to pair, too.
    After many calls to both Toyota and Apple techs about the 3G, I gave up and got a Blueant S1. It's not the ideal solution, but at least it works.
    Note that other people are successfully pairing iPhones with their Prii, so I really don't know why mine is having these issues.
