[Radio] Modifiable Thumbs up/down

1) Change Thumbs up to Thumbs Down

2) Change Thumbs down to Thumbs up

3) Remove thumbs up

4) Remove thumbs down

5) See a list of your thumbs up for a playlist

 

All of these should exist, if not in the app at least on the website.

Updated on 2019-05-23

Hey folks, 

 

It seems like this idea has evolved into a lot of different threads over the years. Quite a lot of the features requested do exist, so I'm going to mark this as implemented - but if you feel like your specific idea isn't there please feel free to make a new idea

 

As a heads up, Thumbs up/down has been replaced by the Heart/Remove symbol across all platforms. Let's address some of the main ideas that have been implemented:

 

  • It is now possible to undo Heart or Dislike actions in your Daily Mixes, Discover Weekly and Release Radar. If you Heart a song, simply tap the Heart again to get rid of it.
  • When tapping the Dislike button, you'll get a choice of 'Don't play this song' or 'Don't play this Artist'. Tapping either will prompt an Undo option at the bottom of the screen for if you hit it by mistake, or your cat walked over your screen (@dredel)

  • Tapping Heart will save that song to Your Library, so you can head there to check out all the songs you've liked. This will also include Songs and Albums you've saved in other areas of the app. I couldn't find an idea for a playlist specifically of just liked songs (without the rest of the library) so it would be a good suggestion for a new idea.

 

I hope this clears some things up.

This has completely ruined my starred playlist radio, my most used feature 😞 I am incredibly sad.

 

Could you nuke the likes / unlikes for my profile just on this station? I appreciate implementing a solution for all users may take thought / discussion, but surely you can fix mine please? It has rendered this unusable!

I was amazed to find this feature doesn't exist. IMO this shows quite little foresight from both the radio and UI developers. This must have come up during testing!

I think an editable list at the website would be good, then the app won't need unnecessary bloat. It seems it's just the thumbs down that's the big problem (at least on the Android app) - as soon as you bump the thumbs down (i do this by accident all the time) it immediately skips to the next song and "improves" the station. Like mentioned already, all the thumbs-up songs get added to the "Liked from Radio" playlist and can be deleted from there.

.... Ya know.... I just noticed that the "Liked From Radio" playlist keeps getting pushed down as new playlists are created. I wish it would be kept at the top like the "Starred" playlist. (on that subject.... I wish there was still a "Library" playlist containing all the Spotify songs and all the local songs add a "Local" playlist with all the songs actually on the device.... just like the original app).

it would be great if devs add this feature

it only takes a little bit of code to make it so if you either click whichever thumb you press by mistake a second time it removes it. At least make it so if you click the other thumb it switches.... that shouldn't be hard at all. I'm assuming that everything is run through a database, mysql most likely, and a simple overwrite query would do it. I actually looks like the button is disabled once a choice is made.

Absolutely! Clicking on a thumbs up a 2nd time could "remove" the thumbs up. Same with thumbs down - except of course that a thumbs-downed song wouldn't play on the station again unless we had the ability to see the settings of a radio station and change it.

 

It would be nice to be able to open up settings for individual playlists and see a few complete lists for each radio station we've started:
List of thumbs up songs with ability to remove thumbs up or mark as thumbs down. Also ability to ban an artist from station
List of thumbs down songs

 

It would also be nice to have an overall explanation of why the radio station is playing the current songs it does. Such as "songs with a beat", "90s alternative bands", etc.
Some way of letting us know what the current "genome" of our radio station is. This way we can know what part of the genome we like and what part we may want to change. If my station is playing to much Rap music, I'd like to know why.

I started the radio from my starred playlist - the first song I liked was one that must have been inspired by the 2 hip-hop style songs I had in my starred list (most of my starred is folk and bluegrass) and now the only thing that plays on my starred radio is hip-hop! It shouldn't change the entire radio just because I liked one song! How am I supposed to like other more folky stuff on the radio if it never gives me those type of songs to like anymore! Please fix this!
