My Question or Issue

I recently made a playlist for my little brother that is full of Disney music. I have played it and had no problem making it, but after a few weeks all of my "Daily Mix" playlists have been taken over with Disney music; None of my regular music is featured. "Daily mix" is usually how I listened to pretty much all of my music because it worked so well but now I rarely see any of my music within the six "made for you" playlists. If there is something I could do I would love to know. If not could Spotify look into some sort of fix.

Hello @Apocalypse811, 

Thank you for reaching out here in the Community!

If you see music that you don't enjoy in your Daily Mix playlists, you can use this button  to tell Spotify that you don't want to hear them in that playlists. 

Also, make sure to listen to music that you like, so the algorithm can catch that. The Made For You playlists should be back to normal after some time. 

If you don't want to wait, you can create a new account and transfer your library with these steps. 

Last but not least, if you listen to music and you don't want it to affect your recommendations such as Daily Mix playlists, Discover Weekly, Release Radar and so on, you can turn on Private Listening. For more details on that, check out this support article. 

I hope you'll find this helpful!

That will get rid of the unwanted music that winds up in Daily Mix playlists. But what about music that just shows up in my library out of nowhere and invades my playlists while I'm listening to them and then runs off it's own playlist afterwards? I keep having to reload the playlist I want to listen to it. And on my Android, if I have a widget enabled for Spotify, the breaching music will just start playing through the widget whenever it wants. Even when I don't even have my phone. They are labeled differently also. The two I have now are right at the start of my login where it says Good Afternoon and so in. 1. Is 'Wonderful Life' noted as an Album - "wonderful.life.007", and 2. Is Under more... As 'two face' noted as "dj.kiti.606". How do I keep these breaches out of my profile?

Hey @ChrisCKoontz,

Thank you for joining the conversation and apologies for the delayed reply. 

We'd recommend checking out this support article to see what steps to take if you're seeing unknow music appearing in your library. 

If you'd like some songs to be excluded from your automated playlists, Wrapped, etc., we'd suggest that you turn on our newest "Exclude from taste profile" feature. You can find how to do that in our Steps by Stars blog here.

We've recently announced it and there's more info about the topic in our Newsroom Article. 

Hope this helps. If you have any questions or need anything else, the Community is here for you.
