I think Spotify would do well to allow users to set a label of some sort on their listening. Like, there are times when you listen to your music for yourself in the car, and there are times when your phone is being used to power the speakers at a gathering. I don't know what the internals of the system looks like, but it seems like allowing users to maintain different profiles would be simple.
- jasonv 6y agoThings I've wanted from Spotify, or from another platform: * Album playlists, with "shuffle by album/entry" * Disable song in album * Tags for albums/tracks, sort by tags * Genre block lists (they have artist block lists, let's go one step forward) * Download n-minutes of a playlist (for when they're 16 hours long) * Block tracks over n minutes on shuffle

- jdminhbg 6y agoI'd be happy with just a simple Incognito mode. Not so much that I'm embarrassed about listening to some things, as I am "I wonder what that sounds like" but don't want my recommendations poisoned.
- tlbsofware 6y agoHa, Yeah just mentioned incognito at the same time as you, totally think this should be a thing
- daxelrod 6y agoThis exists. It's called "Private listening". https://support.spotify.com/us/using_spotify/features/how-to-enable-private-listening/ https://support.spotify.com/us/using_spotify/features/how-to...
- jdminhbg 6y agoAwesome, thanks. It looks like Apple Music doesn't have this, but you can go to your history and remove songs, which would accomplish the same thing: https://www.idownloadblog.com/2019/11/18/apple-music-listening-history-tutorial/ https://www.idownloadblog.com/2019/11/18/apple-music-listeni...
- iamstupidsimple 6y agoAs opposed to public listening? This whole feature is named after a Freudian slip.
- nicky0 6y agoYes, normally what you listen to get put up on a feed to your "friends" in the app.
- iamstupidsimple 6y agoOkay - my apologies for jumping the gun on this comment :P Just seemed like they were describing their analytics/logging/recommendation systems as "not private".
- hombre_fatal 6y agoClick the link and you'll see that yes, as opposed to appearing on your public activity feed. Perfectly reasonable name for the feature. Not sure what's Freudian about it.
- dri_ft 6y agoShoulda been called 'guilty pleasures'.
- tlbsofware 6y agoAn incognito mode sounds like a pretty easy idea, have a switch that turns it on and none of your listening gets added to your personal data
