[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

I use Spotify at work and can’t have explicit language being played. Surely a filtered playback system would be quite easy to include??

I can’t vote but YES please. With the family premium it just makes sense.

I also have to stop using Spotify whenever my son is within earshot as a lot of my favorite songs are explicit. A toggle for this would be great so I wouldn't have to limit my own listening to children friendly only songs. PLEASE don't make this an ALWAYS ON or ALWAYS OFF feature! That would be even worse.

So this idea is from 2012, a year ago you said you still think it's a good idea.... how about maybe you implement it?

Honestly surprised with 10K votes this hasn't been implimented yet. My son loves the idea of spotify since we listen to it but we're kinda sick of the 2 playlists that we made for the car and it just takes so long to keep these updated. Any news?!
