hi, I’m new to the community here and I hope somebody can help me. I have posted a screenshot of my library so all of these I guess playlists are in here that I didn’t put in there and I don’t want them there. How do I get them out the only things I want in my Library is what I put in there. So how do I take care of that? I have posted in another thread that the smart shuffle thing is driving me insane too, but I see they just did an update so I’m hoping that nothing gets added to my playlists now or suggested music for me to listen to because that’s where a lot of this stuff is coming from and I don’t want it. Can you help me?

Hi there, @Momma_Jo 

Thank you for your message.

Just to clarify, it's considered as normal behavior of the app having in the home page "recommended for today", "new releases for you", "based on your listening" and other boards because that's how the Spotify algorithm works and that's how the app is built, so you can discover new music all the time.

On another note, you can identify any recommended music content on the Now Playing Bar as it will have a label next to the artist name, like this one:

 

Also, bear in mind that you can disable Smart Shuffle in your mobile app to avoid those added recommendations by following these steps:

1. Tap your profile picture at the top.
2. Tap Settings and privacy.
3. Select Playback.
4. Switch Include Smart Shuffle in play modes to off if it's on.

Lastly, it's also worth checking if the "Autoplay" option is enabled in the same Playback section of the configuration.

If you have any other doubts, just let us know!
