Suggestion: badges for old mastered playlists
'Mastery rewards and ranking stats are not available for this playlist.'
I'm guessing that SongPop doesn't have logs on stats and rankings for 'old' mastered playlists and why there are no badges for them. Understandable, it all began back with Songpop 1, things were more simple then. Funny, it seems now we have a kind of playlists BC and playlists AD, considering the introduction of mastery rewards.
Players are now motivated to buy, play, master new playlists and win new badges. Which is kinda OK, but at the same time, I feel kind of a discouragement towards these 'old' playlists.
My suggestion: anyone who has mastered playlists before badges, SongPop should award with a badge by default, retroactively. No rankings, just one badge appropriate with the theme/genre/decade. Or, maybe even more generous, provide a choice between two badges. Example: mastered 90s alternative? Choose between rock badge and 90s badge. Best basslines? Choose between rock badge and mixtape badge. Signature songs? Pop badge or top hits badge. And so on. One star badge, nothing fancy.
As for players who are yet to master these 'old' playlists, set no rankings, just display one badge to win (or choice between two of them). And leave prices at 399 and 249. Comment me wrong, but I guess this would certainly bring more diversity and motivate new players to buy and play old playlists.
Cheers!

Yeah Gary, but this is only for new playlists (released in the last ~2 months since the update). There's an announcement in the front page here I think with all the details, but basically first person to complete the playlist gets two badges (3* and 2*) and other until 50th place also get 2 badges according to their rank. Everyone else gets one 1* badge.
I think if you have completed any of the new lists and you just login once through mobile, you will get the badges you've earned.

Won't this cause an "inflation" in value of badges? Consider players who have already mastered dozens (and even hundreds) of playlists. Overnight they will have multiple 6-star badges. Then this will create the opposite effect of what you're trying to achieve: new players will be discouraged to play (both regular mode and the party mode) because now winning one badge gives them only 1/32 worth of what most veteran players have.

It took me while enough to reply here... So, I've been thinking about what Kermit11 wrote, and, sadly, he's right. I was writing in regards to old playlists that I've mastered and think that they more worthy of a badge than most of these new playlists which come with a badge at the end.
It's only a matter of time where most players will have all of these badges, since there are 7 new playlists every week, where everyone has a chance to win at least one badge. Not to mention how ridiculous is the fact that playing with Melody for practice actualy masters your playlists. The course of SongPop sure is set on some strange ways, not that I like it anyway.

So I don't get it. I'm stuck playing SP2 thru Facebook on a PC. I already asked when we can have access to new game features and was told "not available". So am I now hearing that people actually get a reward for completing a playlist? I have 45 completed playlists SongPop. Where is my reward? Been playing for years, EVERY DAY and this is an insult !
