My Question or Issue

I live in Sweden but I am from South India.  I have raised same issue with Spotify few years back ( When It was possible to mail to Spotify). 

As there are many Languages in India and 4 languages in South India alone.

I normally listen to English, Swedish, Hindi, Malayalam and Tamil.  I also listen to Hindustani and Carnatic music (Indian Classicals)

Problem is Even I prefer to listen Malayalam and Tamil songs, Spotify is suggesting Kannada and Telugu songs as well. Which is annoying. Not only Spotify south Indian playlists are badly chosen, but also making the listening experience worse by suggesting languages which I DON't prefer. 

I know where the problem could be, as I listen to Carnatic musics, many of them are in Telugu and Kannada, Spotifys algoritm thinks that I want to listen to those languages often. But listening to classical music and film songs are different. 

Having a filter by opting out the languages I don't want to listen, things would make easier. That means, Spotify shouldn't put all songs in a single basket, instead, tag them with languages.  

Other problem which I see that, in playlists, I can't find original songs but remakes. Which is really annoying. You really need to hire people who can identify and correct these problems. To be honest, Apple music suffer the same. 

Regards, 

 

Swedson.

Hey @Swedson,

 

Thanks for reaching out about this here in the Community.

 

It'd be great for you to take a look at the Idea Exchange guidelines and post your suggestions there.

 

If the other users resonate with them, Spotify will look into those suggestions further. 

 

Cheers!
