Khaberni - In a new step towards improving user experience, the "Spotify" platform has launched an innovative feature allowing listeners greater control over how their musical recommendations are built.
The new option from "Spotify" allows excluding a specific song from the "Taste Profile".
A shift in the way musical taste is built
According to DigitalTrends, this feature represents a significant shift in how Spotify handles its recommendation algorithm, as previously, users could only exclude entire playlists from influencing their musical taste, but now it is possible to prevent just one single song from affecting future recommendations.
How do you use Spotify's new feature?
The steps are simple: Just click on the three-dot menu next to any song, then choose "Exclude from your Taste Profile".
Once the option is activated, this song will not be counted in any musical summary like Wrapped or Blend, and it will not influence the recommendations that appear for you later.
The freedom to listen without distorting taste
Interestingly, the user can still play the song whenever they want, but playing it will not be counted within their general musical preferences, making the experience more accurate and personal than ever before.
Despite the feature might seem small, it reflects a deep understanding of user experience, as it is no longer necessary to delete an entire playlist or reset the music history just because the user listened to some songs that do not reflect their true taste.
An ideal feature for temporary occasions and moods
The new feature is perfect for random moments when a user plays a song for a temporary occasion — a party, a workout, or even out of curiosity — without those moments ruining their usual daily recommendations.
A gradual expansion that includes everyone
According to reports, Spotify has already started rolling out the feature globally to gradually reach all users, whether they have free accounts or are Premium subscribers.
With this step, Spotify enhances its position in the race of music streaming platforms, coming closer to providing an experience precisely tailored to each listener, in competition with major rivals like Apple Music and YouTube Music.
