Take Spotify for example, the platform Ive been using for over a decade. Not only does its algorithm learn to understand your tastes (though it takes
quite a bit of time and effort to train it), creating playlists and folders gives you another way to make your Spotify space your own. One of Spotifys most handy features is pins, which places select playlists, albums, and artists, as well as audiobooks and podcasts to the top of your Library for quick and easy access, but the four-pin limit is a pain point that pretty
much every subscriber has been asking Spotify to upgrade since the pins feature was rolled out some five years ago. Latest Videos From Watch full video here:

In the case of Apple Music , you can pin up to six different items which, while its still a small number, is better than four. Users have been begging Spotify to increase this number for years and youll be relieved to learn
that change is finally coming. (Image credit: Future) From 4 to 20 I first spotted signs of a possible update after coming across a Reddit post (see below) in which a user shared that they had somehow found a way to pin more than four items in their Library. Apparently all they did was update their Spotify app, but other users responding in the comments saw no such change myself included.

one of the improvements I wanted the most in 2026 . A spokesperson shared the following comment:

Spotify is updating the number of items listeners can pin at the top of Your Library from 4 to 20. This gives our users more flexibility to keep the
music, playlists, podcasts, audiobooks, and creators they care about most within easy reach. It's still rolling out and will be available for Free and Premium listeners around the world in the next month.

Why pine for more pins? I can imagine many people will read this and question the fuss over such a small feature, but theres a lot more to it. For those who are seasoned Spotify users, the platform is much more than a music haven its their source for podcasts and audiobooks.

When you factor this in, having only four pins across music, podcasts, and audiobooks is rather stingy "Does Spotify think we only listen to 1 of each at a time?", someone commented on the post shared to the Spotify Community page. But its not just about being able to pin music, podcasts, and
audiobooks simultaneously; its about enhancing the user experience.

Whenever you follow a new artist, pre-save an upcoming album, or save a new playlist, it all appears as one messy collection in Your Library. This forces you to scroll through a hoarding eyesore to find what it is youre looking
for, so pinning items bumps your most-used content to the top saving you bags of scrolling time.

Though you can simply search for the playlist you want to listen to, regular listeners have tons of them (I know I do), so its much easier having all of your music there at the tap of a button in Your Library. For others, its
about more than making your playlists easier to navigate; it's about having more say in how you choose to curate your digital music collection we should get full control, another user puts it plainly .

All things considered, then, avid Spotify users everywhere will welcome this update with open arms. Follow TechRadar on Google News and add us as a preferred source to get our expert news, reviews, and opinion in your feeds.
