[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

Does Spotify really care about what it's customer want? There are a lot of services out there that have the option to block explict content and peopole here have been requesting it here for YEARS... I like the way Spotify works but I guess it's time to cancel my premium membership and spend my money elsewhere. What a shame...

went wrong

Why hasn't this happened yet...i don't know how but it must be more profitable for Spotify to play explicit tracks...stupid for family subscription...

How can you not have this? Makes me want to switch back to Pandora who does have that.

I’m voting for this because I’m only 12 so it’s hard to skip without premium and I have heard nasty things on one but learned how I ignore that but I shouldn’t have to
