Spotify Lets Users Exclude Individual Songs From Their Taste Profile

The new control prevents one-off listening from skewing recommendations or Wrapped.

Overview

  • The feature is live worldwide for Free and Premium listeners across web, desktop, iOS, and Android.
  • Users can select a song or playlist, open the three‑dot menu, and choose to exclude it or add it back later.
  • Excluding a track reduces the influence of both past and future plays on Taste Profile–driven features like Discover Weekly, Home, Wrapped, and Blend.
  • The update adds song‑level granularity beyond the existing option to exclude entire playlists from shaping recommendations.
  • Coverage describes the tool as a useful fix for shared or family listening but still manual, with suggestions for profile switching or session‑level controls as stronger long‑term solutions.
