[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!

Update: I am still waiting this feature to be available especially that the desktop version never likes the dislike button! Plus, I'm starting to get irritated by songs that I dislike such as Justin Bieber (sorry to reveal this to you if you're a fan)! I can block the artist so Spotify can make sure not to play whichever songs are by that artist, but for (example) Selena Gomez, the only song I dislike is "Lose You to Love Me" but I don't want to block the whole artist and want to block just the song but it seems to be impossible to drop a dislike button on it directly since this song never appears on the "Made for User" playlist that are the only playlists to have that feature. If you support me, please keep complaining to Spotify and share this to your friends until Spotify finally listens! The more you complain, the more likely the company will address! Just remember the phrase "Don't Stop Complaining"!

Yes we need Spotify to listen up.

Honestly, spotify continually has gaping holes in user experience.  It's why I've started migrating towards Youtube Music music.youtube.com.

Also I've found the YT music suggestion algorithm to be a lot better for a seed song

I've noticed recently that there is a "don't play this artist" option. From
the home screen search for a artist and then click on the three dots in the
upper right corner. It's worked so far for radio, daily mixes and continue
playing from a play list or album.

I had exact same idea,

Thanks for the input. This is just the kind of reply that (may) get
Spotify's attention. Maybe

Even if Spotify posts anything here it's going to be "not right now" which seems to me to be the case for all the ideas that have more than 100 votes... 

Posting Ideas, taking the time to explain and then have to get 100 Likes just to get a "not right now" is really demotivation especially because I'm paying for the service... I guess I might need to think about changing to a competitor...

In Discover Weekly there are like (heart) and dislike (do not park) buttons located to the left/right of the back/forward buttons.

 

However, the moment I connect to a Spotify Connect device, these buttons disappear to be replaced by the shuffle/repeat buttons. 

 

Disconnecting from the device does not bring back the buttons. 

 

I would love to upload screenshots but am being told they are too big (in iOS).

Hi Linglingqi

I did discover that feature on a PC but I just checked my XR and Ipad Air 2
and the option is there in the three dots next to the follow option and I'm
on 13.3.1 for both devices. Just curious, are you in the US?

I'm new to Spotify and to streaming services in general. The very first thing I noticed was that I did not have the option to block Artists, Song, and Genres. A 

 

There are songs and artists I really dislike that keep appearing in "my" Daily Mixes.

 

The fact that this is not an option for at least Premium users boggles the mind. The only reason I can think of for not implementing this is that it somehow hurts Spotify's profits.
