My Question or Issue

In Discover Weekly list, you can remove a song, so it wouldn't be shown to you anymore.

1) Any song removed from PC or another phone, won't show up as removed on phone, but you wouldn't be able to play it. That is the most annoying bug.

2) Removing song from phone taking long time to show up on PC (in reverse it is instant (it instantly stops playing it, but as I said, not showing that is it removed)).

3) If you remove a song from the phone while it is playing on PC, the next music won't start, the removed one will continue to play, until you unremoved it.

Probably there is more, test it by your self, pls.

Those bugs in your app already for a very long time (maybe a year), I was too lazy to write about them.

Hey there @Andreistr,

Thanks for posting your questions on the Community!

We're unable to replicate some of these steps from our end, so we'd like to look into it a bit further.

Just to confirm, when you Hide a song from the phone app while it's playing on the desktop app, does the playback stop completely when that song finishes? Keep in mind that it's also possible that you need to exit and reenter the playlist for the changes to take effect.

If possible, feel free to send us a video showing how things look from your end.

Lastly, it's not expected that songs will grey out on the phone app if they've been hidden using a different device but we thank you for bringing this up with us. Spotify constantly strives to improve the user experience and its features. The easiest way to achieve this is by regular app updates and that's why we appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts about this with us.

Let us know how you get on!

Sorry for long response time, I was expecting email notification.

About your first question. If on PC playing song and I remove it from PC too, the next song will start immediately, and removed will be grayed out. But If a song is playing on PC and I remove it from a phone, the song will gray out, but next will not start, instead current will continue to play. Tested this couple of times, it is not always graying out by itself, need to turn on another song.

Honestly, don't have so much time recording videos.

You wrote: "it's not expected that songs will gray out on the phone app if they've been hidden using a different device", that is sad and to be honest strange, because that works in reverse.

My hidden songs appear in my daylist which is annoying. I’ve hidden them because I don’t want to listen to them, why do they pop up again?
