Add a "dislike" button, so the algorithm will stop playing songs I dislike

[joegrunge]

Hi there, i'm Rodrigo

I noticed that after some of my playlists are over i get the random songs, but sometimes this things is playing songs i'm starting to dislike. I liked them before, but the software is so annoying that plays this songs constantly that made me dislike them.

So, how about to add a "dislike" button for songs? I mean, right now the software only allows us to "like" the songs and to add them to our favorites. 

Please, improve the UI.

Cheers, 

-Rodrigo.

Agreed when I'm working out and smart shuffle puts on some stupid song. I want to be able to make sure it and ones like it don't come on. Instead of skipping it, just for it to come on 4 songs later...

Seeing all the above - we now seem to have playlists where most of the songs are those i have picked in the last few weeks. Suggested playlists need to be new or similar not the same as.

As for dislike - yes bring it back. Spotify managed to connect my rescent history with some random user adding a few hunderd artists I have have heard of and these keep popping up in suggestions or follow on plays.
I want to explicitly say "never ever play this artist again, dont show their concerts, merch, or other information, until I like one of their songs". 

I pay for this service, so I should be able to say what I like and dont like. By all means have a "try something new" to push what at time feels like sponsored content, but let me decide if I want to check it out.

I like the Idea and would add a drop down choice IE, + Like / %Not on this list / -X- Never want to hear this again.

If the AI bots were paying attention it could also help them create new lists. I wonder if the artists would appreciate the help?or not? Do they have any say on the choices?

Not to mention, the weekly mix frequently shows up a band with the same name as a band I listen to but from the wrong genre. The bands should be recognised by the algorithm through identifiers and not by name. I bet if a dislike button shows up and I dislike this other band, I will get less of the band I listen to.

If they do that because of "featuring" stuff, then the "feat" joined "artist" should point to all the individual artist identifiers

it is a pity their IT guys do not properly think about the user experience. It is so annoying that Spotify plays me songs I do not want to listen to. It would be so simple to dislike, and make user experience so so so much better

After my daughter chose music in the car, Spotify offered songs in her style. The problem is that now I can no longer dislike songs; that option is no longer available!

Also, it would be nice to have the option to dislike artists or music styles in my preferences.

I haven't found a dislike  button, I do skip through some Mixes. When there are too many I skip the mix. or create a new mix with it's good stuff.  It's a common request. and a simlple fix. I also wonder why it doesn't get fixed ? Could be obligation/agreement to artists? Maybe ask your daughter to create her own mix . It's fun after getting the hang of it and I keep adding later. Some are getting very long.

Yes, please. And even an "I'm tired of this track" (or artist) option would be rad, to take a break for a while without having to make any changes to playlist or preferences.

Spotify ranks pretty high in my book. In the past we discover new songs and artists on the radio, and then went to buy the CD. Nowadays one of the only ways to discover new artists and new songs is to use Spotify "recommended for you", which truly has provided me with some great new stuff.  BUT it will also re-play songs and artists that you do not want to hear. So I tend to use that otherwise excellent feature less and less. Give us a dislike button please, then we can really enjoy Spotify.

I'm a big Spot fan and it's daily use for me

Dislike is a very rigid choice. on Spot Mixes it's take it or leave it. Often they include tracks that are very dissimilar to the type of included music. In addition when the list has been completed it can jump from a mellow mix to a loud screaming guitar Solo, Not that I have a problem with the music, It just doesn't fit in the mix I'm listening to. It leaves me wondering who changed the channel?

Dislike suggests something I never want to hear again. Great in some instances.

Not now or Not in this Mix. Might be a good choice

Thumbs up. "Like" can also be a little complicated, If we had the previous option It would be appropriate.

At least I have the option to create my own mix. It takes time and can easily be adjusted any time, It is 100 % liked music. In the correct categories Or I change it.

Unless it comes to the end of the list and the Spot Bot want's to listen to (or promote?) something different .

Sometimes that's good too, As long as we have a "LIKE" "NOT ON THIS LIST" or "DISLIKE" choice on a drop down "PREFERANCE" button.

I also see this feature would be helpful to subscribers and Spot bot in getting feedback to his recommendations.
