Spotify eventually drops the cap of 10,000-song library
Spotify recently scrapped the 10,000-song restriction on playlist sizes, enabling users to download as much music as they would want to their personal collections without any restrictions at all, solving a problem that has frustrated music-lovers on the site for years to come.
While Spotify has more than 50 million songs available to customers to stream at any time, there was a hard limit to 10,000 songs that users could save to their own "Your Music" collections on Spotify for easy access.
This is no more. After today, you can add as many songs as you like to your Liked Songs on @Spotify

I've been working with a small team on the refactoring necessary to pull this off for a while now. Very happy to see this finally out. https://t.co/1nSExF5o3V
Users had been pressing Spotify to lift the restriction for years, but the service has already demonstrated opposition to the proposal, announcing in 2017, "At the moment we have no plans to expand the Your Music quota. The explanation is that fewer than 1% of users touch it.
The updated program only extends to the Spotify library's ability to store tracks. Personal playlists are only restricted to 10,000 items, and users can only stream up to 10,000 tracks on each of their five different offline listening apps.
It might take a little time for the recently eliminated cap to reach out to consumers, but if you do see the old "Epic Set" bug, you might just have to wait a bit longer.
