Spotify Adds ‘Hide This Song’ Option for Premium Users
Apr. 17, 2020Swedish music streaming giantSpotifyhas started rolling out a feature thatlets Spotify Premium users hide a particular song from a playlist. The feature is being added through a server-side update.
Unless you’ve put in efforts to curate your playlist with the songs you like the most, you’re probably depending on Spotify’s playlists or playlists created by other Spotify users. As music taste is always subjective, this might result in you having to skip tracks that you’re not really into. With this neat addition,you get a “Hide this song” option. Once enabled, Spotify automatically jumps to the next track on the playlist.
Once you hide a song, you’ll see a fade on the track that Spotify India users will certainly be familiar with, thanks to Spotify’sissues with labels. Spotify, however,signed a dealwith Warner Music and Saregama earlier this month to bring missing songs.
If you’re interested to unhide a specific song from a playlist that you’ve hidden earlier, follow the same steps and tap on the “Hide this song” button again. The fade should disappear and the song will be available now.
With all that said, do keep in mind that this feature is limited to Spotify Premium users and it is gradually being rolled out to users. If you’re a Spotify Premium subscriber, you should be getting the feature in the coming weeks.
