My Question or Issue

I'm trying to play music on my phone for a party and people will pile on their music selection in the playlist. How do I stop that from affecting my recommendations in future? 

I realize that this was asked before, and private session was the answer, but private session no longer seems to hide it from the algorithm - just other people who follow you. I don't care about that feature, I want to hide it from spotify and the algorithm. 

Jam isn't the solution I'm looking for - its buggy, not everyone has spotify, and even those who have it do not want to bother with the process.

Hey @Ani24529,

Thanks for reaching out!

If you're going to create a playlist with other people, you can exclude it from your taste profile so that there's less impact on future recommendations even if it plays from your account. 

Hope this helps. The Community will be here if anything else comes up.

Cheers!

That's not very helpful. I'm trying to simply have an interval of music without spoiling my recommendation. I don't want a heavy process like creating a playlist. I'm going to play music and leave my phone for others to play whatever they want. Please visualize yourself in a party. Are you just going to simply search and play, or are you going to go through a process of adding it to a playlist? 

I recall there was this feature long back, but it was removed - as a paying customer, its frustrating when you remove things that used to work, and offer no good alternatives. Playing youtube on incognito and cancelling spotify may be the best solution here.

Quando alguém escolhe uma música no meu celular pra ouvir, devia ter algo que não deixasse no meu histórico de músicas escutadas para não aparecer no ranking no final do ano
