[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.

I love spotify. It has revolutionized the way i listen to music. I have it playing while I work, in my car, at home, outside, basically everywhere. I love it so much I convinced my wife and kids to try it out and they fell in love with it too. Naturally the next step was to upgrade to the family plan. Much to my dismay, there is no way for me to prevent my 9 year old son from hearing explicit content that will pop up on occasion while streaming the great radio stations. Seems that family memberships and being able to exclude explicit content from listening in the settings should go hand in hand.

Please spotify, we need this feature for entire family enjoyment of your wonderful app!!!

Thank you.

An avid spotify subscriber and supporter.

Why hasn't this been implemented yet when raised for such a long time? You say you listen and care what people think. Tracks have a flag for this so should be easy to block by the tag.

It really is about time this happens.

Wait, what if instead of skipping the song, it plays a clean version when available?

I want this and you're missing vital revenue because you are not catering for young adults or children. Rather than skip songs though use your technology and skills to find a safe for radio version so the kids can still hear the song they like

I have nothing to add to the other posts except that I vote for SPotify to add an "exclude explicit language" filter for their radio/random songs playslists

I just checked out Amazon music and it was so simple to pick the clean versions of the songs that I wanted to hear it almost took me an hour to do one playlist with over 50 songs and convert them all to clean if this doesn't change soon I will be going with Amazon music for my music player $7.99 if you are a Prime member $14.99 for a family pack it is ridiculous that Spotify has not got up to speed with this issue.

This thread was started on 2012. I added my own comments to support the request in 2014; now to be found on page 50 of 296 (at time of writing). I just asked about the situation on a Facebook post (by Spotify) and was given what looks like an automated response with a link back to this thread.

Pathetic.

And the explicit button should be controled via parent password.  I.e. kids should not be able to turn off the "filter explicit" capability without password.
