Spotify has officially introduced the latest feature that offers users more control over their recommendations by allowing them to exclude specific racks from shaping their âtaste profile.â
The Swedish music streaming giant reflects a listenerâs musical powers key features such as Home page suggestions, Wrapped, Discovery, and more.
Previously, the company allowed users to exclude entire playlists from their profile, but that didnât stop unwanted songs from affecting recommendations.
The recently launched feature solves this issue by allowing users to go through recently played tracks and landmark the ones they donât want factored into personalisation.
With this significant update, parents can now prevent kidsâ songs from skewing their Wrapped.
To access it, both premium and free users can click the three dotted menu in the top-right corner after choosing a song, then select to exclude it fromâor restore it toâtheir taste profile.
Spotifyâs hyperpersonalised approach has long been a selling point; however, in shared or family settings, algorithms can misrepresent true preferences.
Smart speakers, cars, and group listening usually mean one individualâs account is exposed to everyoneâs favourite.
The latest feature is the most helpful tool yet it requires your manual work.
Spotify could provide easier profile switching, voice commands, or the ability to assign sessions to different family members.
For now, though, the updates provide lesser ruined recommendationsâand cleaner Spotify Wrapped results.
