@Spotify went back to doing this really annoying thing of "creating a playlist within a playlist" when you search for a song in a playlist. It is so freaking annoying and makes no practical sense.
Suppose I search for "black" in a playlist. All songs with the word "black" get filtered (let& #39;s say I got 5 songs in this search). I found the song I wanted, double-clicked it, it started playing. Cool, job done, clear search so that the next song is from the rest of the playlist
SYKE! Now, all the player plays are the 5 songs from the search, EVEN AFTER CLEARING IT.
This is SO wrong. Think of it in terms of UX:
- I cleared my search, so my full playlist is now visible.
- For some odd reason, the same 5 songs keep repeating themselves.

Not only the UX of this is bad, but also there& #39;s no possible use case for this to exist:
1) If you& #39;re searching for a specific song, you& #39;re gonna listen to it, period. No need for "songs with a similar name".
1) If you& #39;re searching for a specific song, you& #39;re gonna listen to it, period. No need for "songs with a similar name".
2) If you& #39;re interested in playing songs by artist or album, just click their names and go to the artist or album page.
3) EVEN if you want to listen to a few songs from the search you did, you can just "Add to queue" and go back to the full playlist.
I& #39;m astonished that this behavior has existed for so many years, then FINALLY got fixed, and now it came back.
