For some reason, users are unable to remove songs from daily mixes, or from playlists created from them. As far as I can tell this is by design, and not a bug. I'm honestly not sure what the thought process was here - if the point of a daily mix is to find new music you enjoy, surely not allowing the user to say "I don't want to listen to this song again" defeats the point entirely?
It's gotten to the point where I have to skip through about five awful songs to get to one I actually want to listen to, even when I exclusively "like" the songs I actually enjoy. Spotify's philosophy of seemingly removing basic features at random is starting to turn me away from using it, I'd really appreciate it if someone could explain the reasoning behind this decision in particular.
Yes, this is an absolute joke.
They keep asking me to pay for premium when I cannot even enjoy their daily mixes and have no way of customizing them? I thought the point of this was to customize your music experience and discover new music? How, when my Daily Mix keeps repeating the same songs over and over? I am just trying Spotify and am not impressed. With this kind of Daily Mix setup, I am not using Spotify and thus will never be a customer. Not a smart decision to render Daily Mixes useless to many (most?)
Hey everyone,
Thanks for reaching out to the Community.
The Hide this song feature is available for your Daily Mixes on mobile device, but keep in mind that it's device and and playlist- specific. This means that if you play the Daily Mix on another device, or on a different iteration on another day, the same song may come up once more.
You have also the option to stop a specific artist from playing altogether on a mobile device. This can be done over the three dot menu on an artist page by selecting Don't play this.
Keep in mind that the best way to get more diverse content in the Made for You section is to expand your music library. So if you keep liking new songs and following different artists, you should start to see an improvement after a while.
Hope this helps. Keep us posted if you have any questions.
Oh Lord, but why only on mobile device???
I'm a web developer, i'm listening to music while working to concentrate on my desktop. I'm sure there are tons of users who are using desktop version, why it is only in mobile?
And if i'm not wrong, this poorly developed function on mobile even didn't work for me last time - i clicked remove and nothing changed.
Big up to DigitalCanary) Dude, you rocks, and i think your vision is that what's going on
Why is this not on desktop where I primarily listen. wth spotify???
Hi folks,
Thanks for your replies on this thread.
@MATTRULEZ, although this feature isn't available in the desktop app, if you think other users would also like this, we recommend adding your idea to our Ideas board. Others can then vote for it or add to the conversation to show their support. You can find the steps to submit a new idea in this Spotify Answer.
You can also read more about how feedback on ideas reaches Spotify here.
If you have any questions or need anything else, give us a shout.
Cheers.
Considering it's already a feature on mobile it would be a no-brainer to have on desktop as well. Now I have to rally the troops and do the job of a Spotify project manager? Inconstancies frustrate users. Simple as
No, guys, really, how can i tell Spotify that i'm fricking hate some track and don't want to hear it anywhere on the platform? HOW?
I'm writing this after i just listened at thousand time another annoying track from my daily mix, which i'm hating already.
Hi there folks,

Once again - thanks for the feedback, we appreciate it. Let us know if we can help you with anything else.
Take care!
Let's keep voting this idea up:
Allow “hide song” function to sync across ALL devices and ALL playlists
This is not acceptable behavior for a Premium account. I am paying Spotify for music and I should get to choose to play or not play any song on Spotify.
Just add a "Delete" option to the three-dot menu on the desktop. It's that easy. Or you can keep irritating your customers as you do now.
It really is ridiculous that we can't remove songs from our playlists. Is that really so much to ask?
Hi there folks,

This is extremely frustrating. Why can't Spotify's board think of this problem for just a few minutes and before long they'll know what to do. Instead, they just reply to the unsatisfied customers some nonsense
Hey there you, Yeah, you! 😁 Welcome - we're glad you joined the Spotify Community! While you here, let's have a fun game…
