[All Platforms] "Don't Like Button" should be added to all sections

Hello everyone,

 

I am not sure why it keeps changing between updates, although in the past Daily Mixes have the Like & Dislike button. But this time around it has been completely removed and is only available Under Your Weekly Discovery.

 

It would be nice if the "Don't Like Button" was added everywhere, from Weekly Discovery, Daily Mixes, even when searching specific songs, albums, genres etc. to better filter our music preferences.

Also I find on Android on the drop down menu the Don't like button rarely ever works and have to enter the app directly. Like always works perfectly fine.

 

I would appreciate it if this could be considered.

Thank you

Hey folks,


Thanks for coming to the Spotify Idea Exchange and voting to make this happen!


We're happy to announce that the Hide Songs feature is now available on both mobile and desktop devices for Premium users.

 

Simply press the song's 3 dot menu and select Hide song. This can be done in any playlist made by Spotify or someone else, as well as albums. And any hidden tracks will no longer play from there.

Hidden songs will also sync between devices - no matter what device you're playing on. Unhiding a track can only be done through the mobile and desktop app, however.

 

You can also find more details about the feature here.


Once again, thanks for helping us make Spotify better, by participating here on the Community.

 

Cheers!

Also, for the love of god I want to be able to hide songs from the curated playlists on PC. I listen to Top 50 Sweden almost daily because I think its a good and current mix. However, since there is so many moms letting Spotify babysit their children, even nursery rhymes have made it onto the Top 50 Sweden. Its fairly annoying since I also use shuffle while I work and all of a sudden its blasing some song for 3 year old kids.

A good workaround for your example is to drag all of this playlist into a
blank playlist of your own and then just remove all the nonsense songs from
it. No more Nursery Rhymes.
We shouldn't have to do all this as we should be allowed to blacklist
Songs/or Artists from appearing/playing altogether though i have given up
hope of Spotify allowing this most basic function because of their market
position and utter greed.
HAHAHA!
Hilarious!

I strongly agree with this idea.  It is frustrating when I hide a song from an album on my cell phone because I dislike it or personally find it inappropriate, and then the song continues to play when I listen to the album from a desktop.

This idea was posted in 2019... how's it not done yet? I have to imagine it's intentional to get artists more plays at the expense of the subscriber's user experience.

Two years and we still don't have this? What's the hold-up? If the software engineers are really aware of this community, then why have they ignored this for TWO YEARS?

Please reopen this bug fix issue.

 

Yes I consider the way "Hide this song" currently works a bug and not a feature. 😵

Yes please reopen this feature request, seems like a basic thing to do that would make many user's experience better. Sure, I'll listen to the song a couple times before I decide I never want to hear it again, but once I've heard it 4-5 times and I always want to skip it after 6 seconds, I'm fairly sure I'd rather spend time listening to songs I actually like or take a chance on another discovery than this one who each time makes me thing "Why in the world hasn't Spotify fixed this UX issue yet?"

Can any of Spotify product (or other) people comment on the reason the Dislike button was removed. People like or don't like songs regardless of Spotify's commercial interests.

 

I'd like to see a universal Dislike button for tracks in the same way you can currently "Don't play this" for artists.

 

Spotify can use this to remember not to recommend the tracks in future (if listening from a recommendations playlist), remove it from all other playlists, and also train its algorithms for better recommendations.
