[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 will give an uneducated speculation. Spotify doesn't care about the
user. advertising is where the big money is. **bleep** you Spotify##- Please

I am not sure what everyone's complaint is. Just leave Spotify and check next year to see if they changed their mind. I just tried out Google Music and it is excellent. Many people are going to Apple Music and are happy.

This would be great for moments when music can be shared in an open office environment. I like sharing my music with my siblings, but as young as they are, when we are on road trips this feature would be very very useful.

where is previous / next page button? am I being punished or has everyone lost it? what is the use of a community forum if you can't read all the posted comments - let alone award kudos. Divide and conquer? Is this really an ideas forum or just somewhere to let off a little steam

So, I'm very tired of this conversation. I'm out. What service have others gone to? I want one that will allow me to download music to play offline and allow multiple users on one account. Thanks everyone.

Sorry Spotify, I don't think you're going to do anything about this, back to Apple Music I go...

 

We're sad to see you go

You've cancelled your Spotify Premium subscription

This community makeover is almost enough to make me feel sorry for spotify. Either they are heading for an extremely niche market or this is the writing on the wall
