Spotify Will Soon Let You Mute, Block Artists (theverge.com)
Spotify, one of the largest music streaming platforms available, is readying a "don't play this artist" feature in its apps that will let you mute artists you don't want to hear from. "The feature simply lets you block an entire artist from playing, so that songs from the artist will never play from a library, playlist, chart list, or even radio stations on Spotify," reports The Verge. From the report: The block feature works on songs by an individual artist, but it doesn't currently apply to tracks that an artist is featured on. Thurrott first spotted the feature, and notes that Spotify originally decided not to offer blocking "after serious consideration" back in 2017. Spotify has now reversed that decision.
Sorry to say it, but there are quite a few people who claim to make music that is better categorized as audio pollution. Some border on assault. There is a reason I don't have a radio or TV anymore.
We used to have a Bill of Rights. Now, with the rights gone, all we have left is the bill.
Does it come with a default Nickleback setting?
That is all.
November of 2012 we have been trying to get these fools to allow us to change an accidental (or otherwise) thumbs up or thumbs down to the opposite, or simply remove either choice, and they still haven't implemented such a basic feature. It's ridiculous. And it's things like this that will continue to ensure they never get any money from me.
