Hide songs from your playlists you hate Block certain artists
At the time of streaming, listening to playlists is enjoying growing success. But beware these pre-established music programs sometimes contain one or two songs that we hate. Spotify unveils a new tool to hide songs from a playlist that we no longer want to hear..
Hide songs from your playlists you hate
What better way to change your mind than music. The music streaming platform Spotify regularly publishes new thematic playlists. But listening to these playlists will take the risk of coming across one or more songs that you enjoy moderately.
Rather than passing them manually, Spotify now offers you the possibility of hiding them from your playlists. Once the operation is finished, the application will no longer play the song. Blocked songs will continue to appear in playlists. They just went unnoticed. This allows users to customize playlists..
However, nothing is final. At any time, you can reactivate them and put them back in your reading stream. Important detail, this feature is currently only available to premium subscribers. As a reminder, the subscription costs 9.90 euros per month. Students benefit from a preferential offer at 4.99 euros.
- Open the Spotify app
- Launch the playlist of your choice
- Click on the icon (3 points) located to the right of the song name
- Select the option to hide the song
Note that the procedure described above only has an effect on a particular playlist. The blocked song can therefore be played from another playlist. Here is the procedure to cancel a hidden song..
- Launch the Spotify app
- Press the Home tab and then the gear icon
- Activate the option to display songs that cannot be played
- Open the playlist
- Click the crossed-out circle icon to add the song to your playlist.
Block certain artists
Certain personalities of the music world irritate you and you no longer wish to hear them. A function offered by Spotify allows you to block a particular artist and to remove his songs from the catalog of the platform.
Songs by this artist will no longer be played. This concerns both playlists and radios offered by Spotify. This could help users take full advantage of the music streaming service.
- Open the Spotify app
- In the search field, type the name of the artist or group you hate
- Click on his name to open the artist page
- Press the menu button at the top right of the window
- Select the option not to broadcast this artist
Once the operation has been validated, the application will inform you that it will no longer play the titles of this artist. This option will also help the suggestion tool to suggest titles that may interest you. Indeed, you can like a style of music without liking all the artists representing this musical current.
