Notification about lost data
I have a notification of lost data and that I have to re-enter some of the data by uploading the Spotify datafiles.
When I did this, I had lots of extra data cause many songs were counted double.
Mainly the data of 2024 and 2025. I had days of almost 2000 minutes of listening music (while 1440 minutes is the maximum in a day)
So I filtered the data myself but I lost for some bands more then 500 minutes…songs that I have listened previously are now new songs…
This is quite frustrating…the app is getting in a downfall…
Instead of new features. Fix the features where the app stands for: correct an liable data.

For an artist that im 1st for, i noticed 2nd place suddenly gained 6k more minutes in the past 4 weeks and was so confused how they were getting >1440 minutes/day.
I’m suspecting they reimported their data and is having the same issue as you?? but now im stressed bc my record’s being challenged LOL

Probably…I think since I have the app, the app register the songs you listen to without Spotify…
When you import the files or Spotify, you import them and by this way, you have them double.
Also Spotify does count a song that you don't fully listen, as a song you heard completely… so that way, you can have more minutes then there are actual minutes in a day.
Also, I tried, one day I fell asleep and I was able to play music for 24 hours. Only to notice that I have more then 1440 minutes…apparently some songs that I didn’t listen completely but chose another song instead was counted as a full listen…
So there are many issues with the data. Pausing, reimporting etc count as extra listening minutes.
