stop playing recommended liked songs

[New user]

i recently turned on the option to add recommended songs and play them while listening to liked songs and it would just play them shuffled in but I do not want it to do that anymore

You can turn off the option to add recommended songs and play them while listening to liked songs by following these steps:

1. Open the Spotify app and go to the "Your Library" tab.
2. Tap on the gear icon in the top right corner to go to "Settings".
3. Scroll down to the "Playback" section and toggle off the switch for "Autoplay".
4. You may also want to toggle off the switch for "Autoplay similar songs when your music ends" if it's on.

Once you've turned off these options, Spotify will stop automatically playing recommended songs after your liked songs. If you want to play recommended songs later, you can always turn on these options again.

Hoping one of these is the key,

This isn't the solution to recommended songs playing when playing your liked songs. It still plays them with this unticked. It doesn't play them at the end of playing my liked songs it plays every 3 or 4 songs super annoying and wasting my data

The feature that adds recommended songs is smart shuffle. When you go to your playlist, tap the shuffle button and it toggles between three options: no shuffle, shuffle, and smart shuffle (the icon is shuffle with a sparkle). Change your playlist to no shuffle or shuffle and then you will only play your songs.

There is no settings cog in My Library🥴

That looks like the answer. Thanks. They sure don't like to make it obvious when they're messing with us!

Agree and there doesn’t seem any way of stopping the list even being displayed which is what I really want

They should just completely remove the function that plays recommended songs, also for some reason my playlist loop button like doesn't exist

On free when I hit shuffle it goes to a get premium screen

Hey @Rohall59,

Thanks for reaching out and welcome to the Spotify Community!

Are you trying to turn off Shuffle? If you're on the free version, then it's not possible to toggle off this feature and that may be the reason why you're getting this "Get Premium" pop-up. Also, if you're experiencing the issue the OP mentioned, apart from what was suggested in this thread, I'd recommend making sure that you have more than 15 songs in the playlist you're trying to play, otherwise Spotify will add recommended songs to it.

Let us know how it goes.

Hi,
I have many many songs in my Liked songs. I pay Premium. So when I play from my liked song list and shuffle mode, I realize I’m getting songs that I did not put in my liked songs.
Thanks.
