Playlists reverting to "clean" song versions

Playlists reverting to "clean" song versions

Hey everyone, is there a way to stop Spotify from changing my playlists to the clean versions of songs? When looking at the title they still display the explicit tag but when played about half of them have the god awful censor. Some updates of Spotify do not seem to have this issue but the current version does, and I'd rather not have to manually remove and readd every effected song since that seems to be the only "fix."

Mainly it seems to affect Godsmack on my lists, but Spotify shouldn't be touching any playlist. Also I've seen how apps like twilight break the menu, what kind of spaghetti code is being used if one update works fine and the next doesn't?

Hey @thewhitemexican

 

Check out the support article on this topic:

 

https://support.spotify.com/using_spotify/search_play/content-censor/

 

"In rare cases, an error or a change in licensing agreements may have occured making the explicit version unavailable. The tracks may be re-linked to the "clean" version temporarily while we fix things."

This issue is still around. 


Recently noticed that on my top tracks past 30 days playlist there are clean versions of songs instead of the normal ones, Very frustrating and ruins the listening experience. As far as I can tell only songs by Travis Scott, Kendrick Lamar, and SZA are replaced with clean versions.
