My Question or Issue

When hiding a song in a Playlist on my phone when I play the Playlist on the app on my Volvo Senses the song is not hidden.  It would be nice if it synced to the device.  The Spotify Volvo app does not have a hide feature  to hide a song so can only skip it. 

On another note why can't we block or skip artist.  I thought I remember that being possible in the past.  For instance I like Metal but can't stand Metallica or Megadeath.

Hey @Stars200,

Thanks for reaching out about this in the Community.

Hiding songs is not synced across devices, this is why some songs that you've hidden on your phone will show up when you play music in your car or PC for example.

You should be able to block certain artists from playing. On mobile open the Artist page of the band you don't like listening to > click the 3-dot menu > Don't play this. This is synchronized across devices and no songs from that artist will play until un-blocked. Note that if the artist is featured in a song it might still play or come up in your recommendations.

Hope this info is helpful.
