[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.

Everyone,

Please also post your comments/support regarding this suggestion on a more public space such as Spotify's Facebook page or their Twitter. Its obvious that they aren't responding to this thread or the numerous threads with similar intentions but at least, if you all were to post publically on twitter etc, then the public will know that Spotify is not responding and this should hopefully extract a response from them.

Thanks for your consideration.

Joe

Why has this not been dealt with. This feed is from over two years ago! If spotify is considering this they are certainly taking their time!

Yep...both Slacker and Pandora offer this. I need to listen to Spotify at work, but the explicit songs keep getting in the way!!

Could we also get the opposite feature? I rarely listen to music around people who are sensitive to swearing, so it's really annoying when a song which I'm almost positive was explicit when I added it is suddenly censored.

Can someone at Spotify give us an update on this?  I purchased the premium subscription for my daughter instead of paying for iTunes songs that fill up their phones.  Now I hear her listening to explicit music.  I'm going to have to cancel my subscription if I don't see a response and a plan to address this.  When I was looking for this issue among the community it seems this has been dragging on for years.  Whats the hold up.  Does anyone know if Pandora or another service has this feature, I'll just switch.

I know for a fact that Pandora does have this feature.

Love Spotify and want my 9 and 11 year old boys to enjoy it too without worrying about what they might be hearing. Just a little button please to take out explicits. I don't think it's censorship and it will allow us to be responsible parents in the Spotify environment too.

Your feedback around this desired feature is being passed on internally and we'll update this thread as soon we get any news. Thanks again for all your feedback and contributions. We always want your thoughts on Spotify!
