Hi kikitogi,

 

Great question! I found out that it is indeed possible.

 

To do this, you’ll need to request a download of your account data. Here's how:

 

1. Go to your account overview page.

2. Under "Security and privacy," click on "👁️ Privacy settings."

3. Scroll down, check the box under "Account data," and click the "Request data" button at the bottom.

 

Within 5 days, you’ll receive a download link for a Zip file containing your data.

 

In the Zip file, look for a JSON file named "YourLibrary.json". You’ll find the artists you’ve marked as "Don’t play" listed under "bannedArtists" (without a space).

 

I hope this helps! If you have any more questions or need further assistance, feel free to reach out. Happy listening!

 

P.S. You can read more about the provided data at this page.

Thanks Ximzend! I've downloaded Spotify account data before. Good to know it will include the do-not-play list.
