Spotify keeps adding unwanted tracks to my personal playlist.

[#1]

How can I stop Spotify playing unwanted and disliked tracks after every 3 or 4 of my own chosen tracks on my playlist. It is the free version but I should not be forced to listen to tracks I don’t want or like. It’s driving me mad!! It has only been hsppening

Hey there,

Thanks for reaching out about this here in the Community. 

It's expected behavior on a free account using the mobile version of the app that as part of the listening experience, Spotify will add similar songs to the playlist.

We appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback with us and will make sure to pass it onto the right team, as we always strive to improve your experience. You can also take a look at this article for more info on the differences between the free and the Premium experience. 

On another note, it seems that other users feel the way you do and posted this idea about this. Despite its current status, you can still add your vote to it and if anything changes in the future, we'll make sure to keep everyone updated over there. The Idea Exchange is a great way for us to see what our users are interested in and how many people like a certain idea. 

Also, you can read more about how your feedback reaches Spotify here.

Lastly, you can mute an artist so it won't be played again. From the mobile app, head to the artist's page, tap on the 3 dot menu and select "Don't play this". This will affect all your devices. 

If you need a hand with anything else, the Community is here for you.
