[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.

Why there is no more Kudos to this idea?

I, personally do not care about explicit songs, I listen them again and again forever and ever. I'm alone at home, I'm single man. But I really Support this thing as a problem.

Pandora has this feature and it is wonderful. No need to worry when it's playing at work in the background.

It's great having so much music at your fingertips.  However the downside is that you also have content available that you may not want to hear or see.  I think it is a must that Spotify had some way for people to control and exclude offensive content from appearing in their account, such as songs and ads with vulgar language, and ads with risque images.  This would help parents who don't their kids to see this content.  It would also benefit people who don't want to be exposed to this themselves.

Here are the types of controls that I think should be included.  

• Filter out explicit songs so they don't show up in searches or playlists or anywhere else in the account.
• Filter out inappropriate ads.  There are many ads that i don't want to see or hear because of either inappropriate words or pictures. 
• Allow users to mark an ad as offensive. 
• Hide Album covers that are offensive.  I have come across a number of albums with half naked women on them that I don't want to see.  So have an option to hide these covers, as well as tag covers as offensive.

These are just the ones I have thought of.  If anyone can think of others, please add your thoughs.

I have been a paying customer since the beginning and have not had an issue due to creating my own playlists, the new radio function is great addition however like others I unable to use this due to the constant swearing that is just not family friendly, please please Spotify listen to your customers and fix this problem.

I also think we should have some parental controls. Im ready to spend money to give my son his own account, but not until I have some way to block explecit meterial on his account,

I would really appreciate a feature like this!

Please install this feature. Radio is useless without it.

Dear management,

I was enjoying my trial and set it up for payment but then spent the afternoon listening with my son. I'll be cancelling the service almost as fast as I can hit the next button. The lack of the simple ability to filter EXPLICIT songs means you will not see me as a customer. Considering how easy an if/then or select/where is, it shows a profound lack of planning and consideration on your part. Perhaps you have some contractual obligation not to filter and need a better entertainment attorney, perhaps you dont care. One thing for sure is you will not see one dime of my incremental revenue, nor will I reccomend your service on any social network sites until you insert those few lines of code.

Sorry (from an audiophile who spends a ton on media),

I'd also like this implemented so that the account password would need to be reentered before explicit lyrics could be re-enabled.
