My Question or Issue

How can I remove the AI DJ playlist from my collection of playlists?

If reasons are important: unlike an actual playlist, tapping or selecting it at all interrupts what I'm listening to. This is especially painful when that tap is an accident, and is a lot more likely if that logo looks in any way like the artwork I chose for an existing playlist, which I shouldn't have to change because of a feature I don't want to use that doesn't even follow the well-established user interface paradigms of the app.

Hi @ty1470,

Thanks for posting in the Spotify Community, and welcome!

Unfortunately, at the moment there isn’t an option to remove the AI DJ from your Spotify library. However, there’s currently a Live Idea for this potential functionality; and if it's something you’re interested in, I'd recommend adding your +VOTE to the idea.

The more votes an idea gets, the likelier it is that Spotify will implement it, and you can read more about how feedback on ideas reaches Spotify here. You can also Subscribe to the idea by clicking the three dots next to its title; that way you can be sure to be informed of any relevant updates.

In the meantime, if you can see the AI DJ on the Home screen after filtering the content there to Music, you can try pressing the green check mark on the DJ icon to remove it from your library, as was suggested in a comment for the idea here.

Alternatively, if you have access to the desktop app or the web player, you can try the workaround suggested in this other comment for the idea (adding the AI DJ to a new playlist folder, and then deleting the playlist folder).

Let me know if you have any other questions, and have a good day!

It is the same on Windows.

It appears that Spotify had employed ex-Microsoft developers!

Create a 'feature' that has no use and that noboby wants.

Allow them to remove the feature for a while.

Constantly re-add the feature even though it has been uninstalled.

Remove the ability to uninstall the feature...

As a paying customer, this feature is really annoying.

If things like this are forced on me, I may as well use the free version and put up with adverts!

Make a new playlist, ( plus sign on far left sidebar of homepage )

drag AI DJ into it, then delete the playlist.

Remove the AI DJ from library PERMANENTLY

I have zero interest in listening to an AI DJ. It takes up space in my home screen that could be used for a playlist that I want.

I want to remove this garbage. If I wanted to listen to an AI voice talk to me, I'd go watch live TV. It's not Made For Me, it's just garbage.

I was able to remove it a year or so ago, but it's re-appeared.

Tapping the AI DJ icon crashes app on android

Used once. Misheard what I said. I tabbed back to try agian and now whenever I tap the icon it closes the app. A remove option so it doesn't accidentally get pressed would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Hi, I was having this same problem and accidentally discovered a solution. I’m not sure if you have already found a solution since this post is a few months old, but if not, try this and hopefully it will work!

1) Search for the DJ from the explore tab

2) It should show up in your search history

3) Click the green plus icon and it should remove it from your library

4) Click the x button next to it so it is cleared from your search history if you don’t want to see it at all 🙂
