Forbid artists from album names that are exact the same as Spotify-Generated Playlists.

Forbid artists from album names that are exact the same as Spotify-Generated Playlists.

County: USA

 

Device: Google Home, but I'm sure all assistants would suffer from this issue or even in the app search.

 

Artists should not be allowed to keyword hijack Spotify search, or if you want to not poke the bear of "censorship" -- not permit these to come up on the voice assistant search OR require the assistance searches to be more specific to pick those, see below.

 

See, for example, Luis Masters.

 

"Daily Mix" is a very, VERY common searched term yet when I was just in the shower, I was fighting my assistant because it was always picking up these albums.

 

"Hey Google, Play Spotify Daily Mix 2"

"Playing Album Daily Mix 2"

"Hey Google, Stop music"

"Hey Google, Play Spotify Spotify Daily Mix 2"

"Playing Album Daily Mix 2"

"Hey Google, Stop music"

... continue with 3, 4, 5, etc.


If I wanted to listen to Luis Masters album, "Okay Google, Play spotify daily mix 2 luis masters" would be acceptable.  Of course, more words would be better, such as "play spotify album daily mix 2 by luis masters" -- but as you can see from my earlier queries, didn't work when I tried to specify it.

Please, Spotify became useless for me.

Google's routines are now pointless and devalue spotify auto playlists.
