How to stop Blink182 songs from automatically adding to my liked songs?

How to stop Blink182 songs from automatically adding to my liked songs?

For several months now, Blink182 new releases and songs have been added automatically to my Liked Songs. My Liked Songs is not set to "enhance". I thought someone else was in my account and have changed my password and it still happens. I strongly suspect Spotify is adding them automatically and there are Reddit threads confirming the same with the same band - how do we opt OUT of this occurring?

Welcome to the community dawg!

First thing I’d check is what apps have access to your account, go to your account settings and click “Manage apps”. This is usually the culprit to songs adding by themselves, I used to have a dubstep label constantly adding tracks to my liked songs without wanting them and this is how I cut it off.

I’ll be barking up the wrong tree if we don’t get this situated,

I’m having this same issue and it’s driving me crazy. It was one or two songs now it’s the whole album! I have no apps added either 

Same issue here, everytime they released a new song it automatically liked it and put it in my library, and like 3 or 4 times this week it autoplayed them when connecting to my car's bluetooth for no reason (I assume it's just autoplaying my liked songs, I have no idea I never even used that feature in the many years I've used Spotify).

 

Now with the album it keeps re-liking and re-adding it to my library, even if I remove / unlike the songs. Super annoying.

So glad to have found a topic about this. Thought I was going crazy when they kept appearing in my Liked Songs. Unbelievably frustrating experience. 

 

Has anyone identified the app that’s causing it? I just removed an integration with Sony music assuming it might have been that. 

I thought I was going crazy, this morning they were all in my liked songs somehow, I deleted them then tonight they’re back again! Feels like another U2 stunt

My Question or Issue

 

Every time I open the Spotify app, the entire new Blink 182 album is added to my Liked songs. I unlike and remove every song, but when I close the app and open it again, all the songs are back on there. How do I stop these songs from adding themselves to my liked songs? I do not want them their and it is getting incredibly frustrating having to remove them every single time.

I have been having a similar issue. Kept adding them and then coming back. Then I remembered that I had pre-saved the album. I'm not even into Blink that much but I wanted to give it a spin for old times sake. 

 

 

 

So turns out basically when you pre-save it you give API access to their label, Colombia which is part of Sony, to add and remove songs from your library. You need to go here and remove Sony as a connected app https://www.spotify.com/us/account/apps/

 

 

 

I'd also recommend checking your other connected apps out because I had a ton of connected apps that I really don't need or want. It's so sneaky of them to do that, like to add it once is one thing but to force it back after deleting...

My Question or Issue

I’ve only had this happen with blink 182s new music. But as the first songs were being released, I’d like them but after a few hours those songs would keep being deleted from my liked songs and I’d have to go back and like them twice a day. Now that their new album is out, the entire album shows up in my liked songs. But now I can’t delete the songs I don’t want on my list. Every time I do, they show back up again after a few hours. Is this happening with anyone else?

This is quite the conundrum! I’ll check in with the mods and see if they have some input for I am unsure of what the problem causer may be. 
I’ll be doggone if we don’t figure this out,

Very annoying! I started a Reddit thread on this when I couldn’t find any info online. I’ve had this problem for months now. I even used the “do not play songs by this artist” feature. Now the songs still auto download but are grayed out, and even when they are grayed out they still end up in my shuffle list. I’ve deleted this album more times than I can count! 

Hey folks, 

 

Thanks for your reports. 

 

It's possible that a third party is managing your collection for you. We'd recommend making sure to remove the access from any third party apps you've installed.

That’s it. Pretty humorous the first few times it did it but it’s starting to get old.
