Organize your Spotify Liked Songs by the date you liked them
Turn the last 7, 30 or 180 days of likes, a month, a year or any date range into a Spotify playlist that fills and empties itself.
Sign in with Spotify. The Free plan needs no card.
Playlistation sorts your Spotify Liked Songs by when you saved them. "Everything I liked this month" becomes a real Spotify playlist that fills itself as you like music and empties itself as those likes age; "everything I liked in 2024" becomes a playlist that never changes again. The Liked date filter does both, and it works on every plan.
The periods you can pick
Quick pick is a list of rolling and calendar periods:
| Preset | What it keeps |
|---|---|
| In the last 7 days | The past week of likes, counted back from each update |
| In the last 14 days | The past two weeks |
| In the last 30 days | The past month |
| In the last 90 days | The past three months |
| In the last 180 days | The past six months |
| This month | Everything liked since the 1st, still collecting |
| This year | Everything liked since 1 January, still collecting |
| Last year | The whole of the previous calendar year, now fixed |
Custom range gives three cards with calendars: Before one date, After one date, or Between two. Both bounds are included.
Under the sentence the app shows the concrete dates it works out, for example "Includes every track you liked between 4 Aug 2026 and 3 Sep 2026", so a rolling window is never ambiguous.
A playlist that empties itself
Pick "In the last 30 days" and you get the playlist most people build first: everything new in your library, and nothing else. A track joins it the day you like it and leaves it 30 days later, with nothing to prune.
- Create a playlist and call it New this month.
- Add the Liked date filter. It opens on "In the last 7 days".
- Choose "In the last 30 days" and save.
- Create the playlist.
The saved filter reads Liked date: In the last 30 days.
A playlist that freezes
Switch to Custom range, pick Between, and set 1 January to 31 December of a past year. The result is a fixed record of what you liked that year, which stops changing once the year is over. It is the one place in Playlistation where a smart playlist stops moving, and it is deliberate.
What it is good with
| Playlist | Filters |
|---|---|
| New this month | Liked date: In the last 30 days |
| My 2024 | Liked date: between 1 Jan 2024 and 31 Dec 2024 |
| Discoveries | Liked date: In the last 180 days, and the track artist has at most 100K followers |
| This year in jazz | Liked date: This year, and the track artist is tagged with one of jazz |
| Fresh and fast | Liked date: In the last 90 days, and the track BPM is between 156 and 176 |
The third row is the one worth stealing: a small-artist filter turns a recent-likes playlist into a record of what you actually discovered, rather than what you rediscovered. Genres are on organizing Liked Songs by genre and tempo on filtering by BPM.
Liked date is not release date
These are the two questions people mix up. Liked date is when you saved the track; release date is when the music came out. A 1975 album you liked yesterday is in "liked in the last 7 days" and in "The 70s", and neither is wrong. If you meant the year the music came out, see sorting Liked Songs by release year.
Two details that matter
- A rolling window counts back from the update, not from midnight. Playlists refresh about every six hours on the Free plan, every hour on Plus and every 30 minutes on Pro, so a track can linger for up to that long after its seven days are up.
- Only your most recent likes are read at all: 1,000 on the Free plan, 3,000 on Plus, 50,000 on Pro. An older like is never seen, whatever its date. See how syncing works.

Questions about organizing Spotify Liked Songs by date
Can I make a Spotify playlist of the songs I liked recently?
Yes. Add the Liked date filter to a smart playlist and choose "In the last 30 days", or any window from 7 to 180 days. Playlistation builds a real Spotify playlist of the tracks you saved in that period and keeps it rolling: new likes join it, and likes older than the window drop out on their own.
How do I see my Spotify Liked Songs by date added?
Spotify sorts the Liked Songs view by date added, but that is a view rather than a playlist. Playlistation turns the same information into a playlist you can play, share and combine with other conditions, such as a genre or a tempo range, and it keeps it up to date automatically.
Can I keep a playlist of everything I liked in one year?
Yes. Switch the filter to Custom range, choose Between, and set 1 January to 31 December of that year. Both dates are included, and once the year is over the playlist stops changing, which makes it a permanent record rather than a rolling one.
What is the difference between liked date and release date?
Liked date is when you saved the track to Liked Songs; release date is when the album came out. An old record you liked this week matches "liked in the last 7 days" and also "The 70s". Use Release date when you mean the age of the music itself.
How quickly does a new like show up?
Playlistation reads your Liked Songs at most once an hour, and each playlist is refreshed about every six hours on Free, every hour on Plus and every 30 minutes on Pro. In practice a track you have just liked appears within an hour or two on a paid plan.
Does it work on the free plan?
Yes. Liked date is one of the nine filters available on every plan. The Free plan watches your 1,000 most recent likes, which is more than a rolling window of a few weeks will ever need.
