Hide/Change Cover Photos Button

[atakanserin]

Hello,

I really enjoy listening to songs when I am working at the office. Usually Spotify is open at one of my screens. However sometimes some cover photos of songs/artists/albums can be a bit on the NSFW side. So it would be great either:
- Make a button for users to hide photos of songs/albums/artists.
or
- A bit more techy: Train an NSFW machine learning image model, that labels all your photos NSFW or SFW. Make a button for turning on the "Work mode". When user turns on this mode no NSFW photos should be visible.
or
- Possibly both.

Best regards,

Atakan Serin

I can't listen to some of my favorite albums at work until this gets resolved.

Please spotify, rectify this issue.  You are a business; you are losing money because you refuse to listen to your customers.

I like this idea.  However I did post a comment months ago stating that if Spotify did not add an optional content filter that I would cancel my subscription and uninstall their program.  I invite anyone else to join in my new years resolution to boycot Spotify until such action has been taken.  And please, let them know the reason you are leavin

This is extremely important. 

I finally broke down and subscribed because I was sick of hearing the same stupid alcohol commerical 50 times a day! On a related note, we should be able to block unwanted advertisements (just like all major advertisers let you do). 

But that is a different point. 

I find it hard to believe that I can't permanently remove any contect marked as explicit. I'd also really love it if I could also permanently block music or albums from ever showing in any playlist or search that I do. Like a thumbs down that hides them forever. That data would be valuable.

I agree with the suggestion made in the original post that has been updated here. Just the ability to either disable all covers or select covers would be great. I find that I cannot listen to certain music simply due to their album cover. I am headphoned at work, but the album art could probably get me in trouble. That seems silly for a company that is about music to have certain music discouraged only because of the album art!? Really hope this gains enough traction to have spotify actually do something about it.

Thanks.

This is totally needed! The album art of some tracks is awful. Imagine if your children pick up your phone and press a button and you have images you are trying your hardest to guard against! Come on Spotify how have you not done this. Hide album art OR allow it to be blurred enough not to make out the image but keep the colour for effect and recognition Spotify in any religious country will have problems. This quick fix will eliminate the objection a LARGE section of the population will have. WE WANT TO CHOOSE CLEAN MUSIC AND CLEAN IMAGES. give us the option.

I also like this idea. I hope that this is able to be implemented as a setting for mobile lock screen.

Blocking NSFW album art is a great idea and if tagging album art as explicit is difficult then provide an option to turn it off altogether. And it needs to apply to the radio feature too. I just had a playlist radio station going and  a song from the album "The Dwarves Must Die" came up. That's not really something I want to subject my coworkers to.

This feature would be excelent! I'd vote 10x if I could.

i think the idea title should be changed a bit. From "Option to Remove Explicit Audio/Visual Album Artwork" to "Option to Hide Explicit Audio/Visual Album Artwork" the former seems to be like a "petition to ban" explicit songs/album cover from Spotify. haha.

But the inability to hide album covers is also a issue for me. Sometimes album covers affect/spoil my feelings for the song (for explicit content, as a common example).
