[All Platforms] Explicit Filter

[sekuether21]

Add a button that controls whether Explicit songs are played or not.  When it is off and you're listening to an album or playlist, the explicit songs are skipped. That way you can still listen to your favorite album or playlist when more impressionable members of the family (kids / parents) are around.

A lack of this feature completely prevented me from using Spotify the other day.

We were taking a family trip across the countrty (8 hour drive) and I thought it might be nice to listen to some comedy to keep us focused and awake. With my wife in the front and two kids in the back, I popped on the comedy radio station and started to enjoy a few segments.

When an explicit one popped up, that wasn't a problem at first, I'll just DOWN VOTE it I thought, so it'll jump to the next one and reduce the liklihood of another explicit item appearing. Of course, a short while down the road, I ran out of 'free' skips, which put an immediate end to our ability to continue listening to spotify for the remainder of the journey.

Please get this on. You already have explicit flags, how hard can it be to allow us to not play them.

Sure.

I would like a setting which would automatically swap explicit versions of songs with the album/clean version.

We ABSOLUTELY need this, Spotify!!!  In addition, we need the ability to block album cover art.  Many of which are seriously inappropriate for kids or to have seen at work.  Thank you!

This post is almost 4 years old! With family sharing it is time to simply add a "noexplicit content". Make it a premimum only service, but the time is now.

Seems Spotify took your link off their FB site.  They prefer to pretend there is no issue.  Is it a licensing issue (doubtful as every else allows explicit content to be avoided) or a 'take it or leave it attitude'?

Likely they feel they are forcing it upon us because they think they can and they could care less about families and workplaces in their rush to be 'hip'.  It will backfire.

Perhaps a FB site SpotifyNotSafeForFamilies also? Any FB expert users out there?

Any reasons Spotify for this attitude??

Unless Spotify add soon the ability to filter out explicit material, I will be cancelling my subscription. Not happy with my 9-year old child bringing up obscene song titles on the screen.

My children were six and eight when spotify introduced them to pornographic lyrics in a kids section. We all do something to help stop this in a small way by protest in this forum . Any lawyers out there? lawmakers? Is there anybody out there that can DO something to protect our children? Do we just have to wait until Spotify upsets the wrong person - from their point of view?

Yes please, this would be a great addition.

You can put it on your FB. You don't have to say it was from me 🙂
Can just say 'someone on the Spotify forums' 😛
