Spotify Library Navigation Issues

Issue: Spotify playlists aren’t staying loaded in the background on IPadOS.

  • Device model: iPad Air 13-inch (M2)
  • Version of operating system: iPadOS 18.6.2
  • Version of djay: 5.6 (iPad)

A) SUMMARY OF ISSUE:
When I load Spotify playlist, whether or not I load a song, and I leave the library tab to go to any of the others (FX, loops, etc.), when I return to the library, it returns me to my liked songs list. It also resets to its default sorting (newest to oldest). I then have to re-navigate to find my next song in the playlist.

I do not have the same issue on my iPhone 13 mini. When I return to the Spotify library on the iPhone version (also djay 5.6) it retains where I was in the library and my sorting setting (I usually use ‘sort by bpm’ or ‘sort by key’)

I also do not have this issue with any of the other sources in the iPad app (Apple Music, Files, USB Library, etc.)

B) DETAILED STEPS TO REPRODUCE:

  • Open app
  • Open sources and select Spotify
  • Select desired playlist
  • Open drop-down sorting menu in playlist and select desired option
  • Load desired song
  • Leave library tab
  • Return to library tab

C) EXPECTED RESULTS:
Once returned to the library tab I would expect it to open to the last playlist I had open, with the same sorting setting I had active (eg. sort by bpm).

D) ACTUAL RESULTS:

  • You will find that the Library has returned to a default playlist (liked songs for me) and default sorting.
  • Repeating these steps on iPhone you’ll find that the library has remained on the playlist and sorting settings you left it on.
