[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

I think its been long enough and yet this feature is still not available in the Desktop app.  Perfect example of big corps not giving a toss of what their premium listeners pay for.

FFS Spotify, it's a button that changes the way we feel with the music you feel you have to tell us about, no matter the language. I can listen to some chill step, then all of a sudden I'm listening to some odd northern European pop for the next 20 mins and I can't change that without changing the source song. Where we at with this?

I'm not sure why it takes 2+ years to do something that literally every single music platform has. This is more than asinine. I am leaving the platform.

I would like to add my support for this idea. 

 

Not only is this a matter of convenience and what music we enjoy listening to, but I would venture to say that in some cases, it can actually be a matter of personal well being and mental health. Music can have such strong emotional ties to memories and past experiences I think it's also important to recognize that certain songs may be attached to traumatic events or time periods in our lives. There is one particular song that pops up for me on playlists ALL THE TIME. I've tried blocking the artist, I've made several searches through Spotify blogs trying to figure out how to mute this song.... having it pop up when I'm not expecting it is jarring and unsettling and is honestly my number one frustration with this platform. It's actually becoming so important to me that I'm considering seeking out a different platform for organizing my playlists. Which is a real shame because I've spent years building these Spotify playlists and would hate to leave them behind. But whenever I've run through an album and the suggested "radio" begins for whatever I've been listening to, I am tired of being surprised by this song which has very negative connotations for me. Please consider offering this feature. I feel like it used to be a thing several years ago and went away at some point?

I would like a setting that would allow me to add songs that I never want to hear.  A so-called "do not Playlist." This way, when on a radio playlist, or playlist made by others, I wouldn't be assaulted by a song that I really hate, but still fits that genre, theme, playlist etc.

Found a mod or other spotify rep linking to this in a thread from Nov 2020.  A year ago.

Logged in to vote only to find that I'd already voted for this however many years ago... What?!

 

I've been paying for premium for years, and it feels like the poor recommendations are only getting worse? My 'daily mixes' and other recommended playlists keep playing songs that I skip every time. Even 'Discover Weekly' sometimes tries to play me songs I've already skipped dozens of times if not literally hundreds. I've been skipping some of these songs for YEARS, they're not on any of my own playlists and I haven't liked them AND YET, without fail, they continue to plague me on a daily basis.

 

(Joywave is the worst one - I actually used to like them, years ago, until Spotify decided they must be my favorite band and started oversaturating all of my recommendations with them. Literally unliked everything by Joywave and made sure they weren't in any of my playlists and this has been an issue for TWO YEARS lol! There are other things I'd like to stop hearing but this is driving me mad.)

 

Please, just let us opt-out of songs, artists and albums we don't want to listen to. Let your customers support the artists they actually *like*!

I think 1. it's asinine that a post like this has a time limit for the amount of votes it needs in order for it to be considered. This is because I've been using spotify regularly for at least 3+years and I've only now discovered this forum. Many other users could be the same and therefore posts like this could have a delayed response by the community.
2. How is there not already a "Don't play this song/artist" an an account based list? This should be a core feature, much like other music streaming platforms. There's lots of songs out there that use discriminatory words that I simply can't skip automatically.

Very frustrating.  Two "shows" showing on my homescreen. I have no interest in and it really annoys me, every time I open Spotify.   Happy to suggest stuff to me, however this is getting silly - many months these "suggestions" have been on my homepage, and I have not and will not interacted with - GET RID !

 

- This should not be the case for a product I am paying for.  Disappointed.

For weeks and weeks my release radar shows all kinds of versions and re-mixes of My Universe by Coldplay. I've tried to block Coldplay and this specific song in every possible way and it does not work. Please Spotify, start listening to your paying customers, implement this feature and keep it forever!

The only time I play Spotify is when I'm controlling the music from my phone and playing audio through my Sonos speakers. When I hear a song I dislike, I hide it from my daily mix. But it continues to play on my Sonos every day. So annoying! Please stop forcing me to listen to that trash.

I'd also just like to add that I'd really like Spotify to look into this. In particular, the blend feature is theoretically a really cool feature but gets ruined with a few terrible mismatched songs that show up week after week. In my case, I can't for the life of me figure out how some songs show up in there to begin with, they are "added by me" but not the type of songs either party would listen to. I have thousands of actual "liked" songs, and many many playlists, but a handful of random mismatched songs end up in my blend every week and never go. All I can do is hide them (which doesn't work because they can't be hidden on the devices I listen on most frequently) and skip them (which I do, why does that not send a signal that they should not keep being added?)
