Prevent mixed/radio show tracks from appearing in Release Radar Playlist

Prevent mixed/radio show tracks from appearing in Release Radar Playlist

Users who listen to DJ radio shows on Spotify are at extreme risk for having their Release Radar Playlists be compromised by 'mixed' tracks.

 

Spotify should have an option or feature that allows users to 'opt out' of having these mixed tracks included for the weekly playlist.

 

In addition... some of these radio shows have 'tracks' that are just talking such as announcements or fan interactions. Having these included in weekly playlists is extremely frustrating for users wanting to hear new music in curated playlists.

Hey there @Jamesanator

 

Thanks for reaching out about this here in the Community. We moved your post from the Ideas board to the relevant Help board, where it fits better.

 

No worries, if you don't want your DJ radio shows to affect your Made for you playlists' content, we suggest that before listening to them, make sure to activate the Private session by following the steps here.

 

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

Your 'solution' is not satisfactory for the problem being presented. It is unreasonable to expect a user to toggle 'private sessions' back and forth for different tracks within the same album.

This is not an isolated or individual issue either. I promise that almost any user that listens to EDM genre music has experienced this drawback from Spotify's algorithms.

 

Simply implementing a filter or tag for radioshow albums would prevent this from happening.
