Hi Victor, “le” means past tense which is usually put after “Verb”. But you can not use “le” for the past tense of “xǐ huān”, especially your example doesn’t have any time words.

The correct way is to " used to like" which is “yǐ qián + Verb” Therefore the sentence is:

wǒ yǐ qián xǐ huān zhè ge/ nà ge = I used to like this one and that one.
