[All Platforms] Explicit Filter

Submitted by on ‎2012-02-18 04:32 PM
Status: implemented

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.

Hey folks!

It's great to hear music as the artist intended it to be heard, this means Spotify can sometimes include explicit content.
 
We recommend looking out for the EXPLICIT tag on any releases (E on the web player).
Note: Our explicit content tags are applied based on information we receive from rights-holders. This means we can’t guarantee all explicit content is marked as such. 

It's also now possible to use the Explicit content filter on mobile and tablet devices (more devices coming soon!). Right now, the setting is only for the individual account and device. If you do apply the setting on your phone, it doesn't filter explicit content for the same account on the desktop app. It also doesn’t apply if you use Spotify Connect to play to another device. For more information on this, check out this support article.

We'll keep you up-to-date if there's anything else to share!

Thanks

It's incredibly stupid that you don't have this feature.  You mark the songs as explicit.  Just allow us to filter them.

 

Please don't pretend that it's difficult to do this.  Man up and make a clear statement as to why you won't.

 Ok folks....someone suggested and I followed it.  Create a Rule to Forward all emails from "Community Mailer" and "Re: Explicit button (The Spotify Community Subscription Update)" in the subject line to:

support@spotify.com

It felt good to send 187 emails to them and all future emails. Seriously, can you imagine if all of us did this?

Flood them with sh-it that they can't filter out? Isn't that a little excessive?

Isn’t that sort of the point? They’re flooding us with “sh-it” as you say that we can’t filter out?
If it’s good for the goose, right?

Thinking about is not enough. You do not even mark Hungarian songs. So if you wnt to pushbthisiberal agenda of destroying my family I will just sue you. You have 48 hours.
