[All Platforms] [Podcast] Individual Autoplay Settings

[poplopo]

I think Podcasts should have different settings for autoplay than music. With music, the most desired way to listen is to proceed to the next song automatically without having to select one. But that's not the way podcasts are generally consumed - it is a more deliberate process. And particularly because the default sorting of a podcast is to display them with the most recent podcast first, it's quite a disruption to listen to a podcast all the way through and it begins to play the "next" episode - which also happens to be an older one that you've probably already listened to. There should be a setting that users can select to only play one podcast at a time. When the podcast is done, I want to manually select which episode of which podcast to listen to next, not have it chosen for me - and I would bet that's a pretty common listening pattern.

I especially don't want a **bleep** and relationship podcast to autoplay after my child's podcast (yes, this has happened to me). This is insane that it is 4 years later and this simple feature is not implemented.

I play ONE 5-minute news broadcast hosted on spotify and that is the ONLY "podcast" I ever want to hear from Spotify. I do not want bloomberg business week and I ESPECIALLY do not want Joe Rogan or ANY OTHER podcast autoplaying after this. If spotify cannot give the option to disable autoplay FOR PODCASTS ONLY - I would like the option to opt out of ALL podcasts. I can get my 5 minute news update elsewhere.

It makes no sense to allow manual removal of manually added podcasts with no such feature available to automatically added podcasts from Spotify. It's far more likely someone is going to manually add something to their queue that they want to hear and be suggested something they don't want to hear by Spotify. One of the worst things on Spotify. There is no way to clear or remove automatically picked podcasts. It's bad enough I'm contemplating ending my subscription--I might as well just let youtube pick my podcasts for free, since I can go in a manually change what I don't like.

In the free edition it is not possible to prevent automatic start of another podcast, after one is finished. The only way to prevent this is by manually configuring a Sleep Timer as End of edition when start each and every podcast. It would be nice if one could configure this as a general setting.

I'd like to be able to control whether a next song/episode is being played after the current one finishes, for music and podcasts separately

For example my preference is, nonstop streaming for music but for podcasts, when I play one, I only wanna listen to that one, and when it's done, it should stop. I don't want it to start anything else.
