DISLIKE BUTTON

[zphil777]

If i hate a song, then I don't want to hear it ever again. All of us run into this on an hourly basis. Every single day. Why in the world cant we dislike (or thumb down) a song to remove it from existence? Why do you torture us by playing songs we don't want to hear?

There is a "hide" option (only on mobile), and its playlist specific. The desktop version doesn't even have this somewhat-useless feature.

So I vote for a universal dislike button. No playlist limitations. No desktop vs mobile limitations. No buttons hidden in submenus. Just a simple, easily accessible button that can eliminate our headaches once and for all.

Would like the ability to hide a genre of podcasts - for example true crime.

I am a premium user.

My entire family was abused.

An artist I like has a song that triggers these memories.

Let me block songs like this. I pay for the app. I can't even "dislike" this damn thing, as a paying user. Give all users this feature.

It would be great if we could hide a song entirely, because as far as I'm aware, the way it's supposed to work (but doesn't work right now) is that it only hides it from one playlist. I want to block songs overall.

It's because Spotify practices payola, through which they are paid to promote specific artists/podcasts. I have repeatedly removed Yumi Zouma from every daily mix playlist, and she is still a predominating artists on nearly all 6 mixes. Yes, even a song I previously removed nevertheless appears on multiple daily mixes. In some instances, despite being an indie-folk artist, she is promoted alongside artists like Jimi Hendricks or ODESZA - it's lazy if not disrespectful, and can only be explained by some kind of pay-to-play scheme. Also, the fact that Spotify does not incorporate this simple fix is a strong suggestion that we are a product that they sell to the music industry. Consider how some artists' shows are recommended to you, even if you barely listen to them, and yet others you enjoy and who are coming to a venue near you do not get mentions. PAY-O-LA

If you think Spotify cares about listener experience or music, I have bad news for you. We are at the mercy of boardroom execs who think of music as bait.

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.

They should also do this with artists... or song genres! I hate country music, and I don't like artists who sing a lot of curse songs! This would be a nice feature!

Blocking/tagging/x-+  a song from a Spot playlist could help make some lists enjoyable, Otherwise I have to fast-forward /skip the song or not use the otherwise enjoyable list. It may be a complicated filter, If many users skip a song manually Spot could tag it for replacement or deletion. On the other hand, there could be a majority of listeners who love it. I skip daily list #? For that reason. Another issue is a good song, That is inappropriate for the list being listened too in an otherwise desirable list. I've created my own lists for that reason.
