How can I set up a playlist without Spotify adding their suggested songs?

[New user]

I may not like every song an artist has or might only like 1 song they have. How can I create my own playlist without Spotify adding what songs they think should go in it?

Hey there, welcome to the Spotify Community!

I understand that you are trying to create playlists but songs are automatically added to those playlists. Please correct me if I am wrong. This might be related to the new Enhanced feature in playlists. Go ahead and create a new playlist but this time turn off the enhance button in the playlist so it will not add tracks on its own.

You can read more about Enhanced here. Also, share a screen recording of the issue along with the App version you have in order for me to understand better.

Let me know if you need anything else.

Hey there!

Adding to what @Amay has shared with you, I'd like to mention that the abovementioned is an expected behavior in case you're using a free account + the mobile version of the app. Spotify will add similar songs to the playlist until there are at least 15 songs in it.

In case this is applicable in your situation, I would suggest creating such playlists from a desktop device instead 🙂
