When you click the ⊕ icon on a song, Spotify automatically adds it to your Liked Songs. But this action is more than just saving a track — it sends a clear message to Spotify: "This is the type of music I enjoy".
Spotify uses your likes, along with your listening and skipping behavior, to train its recommendation algorithm. This data plays a key role in shaping personalized playlists such as Discover Weekly and Release Radar.
In short, your "Liked Songs" act as a personal music memory bank. They reflect your taste, influence Spotify's recommendations, and ultimately determine what music you'll discover on Spotify in the future.

Have you ever noticed that when you share songs or playlists on Spotify, what you're actually sharing is just a link. People can't download the music — they can only stream it within Spotify. If you are not a Premium user, ads are unavoidable. Even if you are a Premium subscriber, downloaded tracks are still locked inside the app, meaning you don't truly own or freely share them.
What's more, some of your favorite niche or lesser-known tracks can disappear at any time due to licensing or regional restrictions. Once removed, even tracks you've liked or saved may become unavailable, leaving you with no real control over your music library. These limitations are exactly why many users start looking for ways to download Spotify liked songs.
NoteBurner Spotify Music Converter lets you download your Spotify liked songs as MP3, WAV, FLAC, and other common audio formats. The downloaded music will be stored as real files on your device, enabling offline listening, backup, or sharing with friends. Even if those songs are removed from Spotify in the future.

No, Spotify removed the 10,000-song limit in 2020, so you can now save unlimited songs to your Spotify library.

Steps to make your playlist public or private: Tap the three dots below the playlist name > "Make private/public". (✅ Works across mobile & desktop)
Common reasons:
Unfortunately, Spotify doesn't offer a one-click "Remove all" option for liked songs. The easiest workaround is to use the desktop app. In your Liked Songs > press Ctrl + A (Windows) or Cmd + A (Mac) to select all tracks > right-click and choose "Remove from your Liked Songs". This lets you clear your entire liked songs in seconds.
On mobile, however, there's no bulk selection feature. You'll need to remove songs one by one, which can be time-consuming if you have a large library.
1. Spotify applies regional restrictions to accounts. If you've recently changed your location (for example, traveling abroad or using a VPN) but your Spotify account country hasn't been updated, songs in your library may appear greyed out and become unplayable.
Solution: Visit the Spotify website > "Edit personal info" > Change "Country or region" > Click "Save profile", then log out and log back in to Spotify on your device.
2. If you are unable to resolve the issue, please contact Spotify support.
