[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

Email Spotify directly at support@Spotify.com

If they start getting these emails as often as I do, we should start
getting answers.

I know these things are pointless as the majors don't read them, but I too wish users had more flexibility to chose filtering to suit needs, e.g. Genre blocking / explicit blocking

Send an email to support@Spotify.Com
It will be personally read by a support staff and will give us a much
better chance of having this idea implemented.

E-mailed support@spotfy.com, their response was :

 

'We apologize if this has taken a long time to implement. Right now, though, we can't say if or when we'd be able to put this out. Don't worry, this suggestion has been passed on to the right folks here at Spotify.'

 

So even after five years of posting they still are not taking this request seriously.
