In Spotify, you can block songs from ever being played again. You can press on the block button which is on the right end of the player controls when a song is being played. Under playlists, it is next to the ‘Love’ button. When you press the don’t play this button, it will hide that particular song from the playlists and then you will get a message like, “Song hidden in this list”. It will be then moved to Hidden Content. The feature works on those playlists which are generated by you as well as those generated by Spotify.
Hide or Block a Song in Spotify
To block or hide and never play a song in Spotify:
- Access any Playlist or music
- Press the block button
The confirmation, “Song hidden in this list” will display letting you know that the song won’t be played when you go through the playlist.
Unblock or Unhide a Song in Spotify
When you press the block button, you will see it being activated. The color will change from gray to red in playlists. You can press the same button to unblock it straight from the list. But if you block it from other areas, the song will be hidden. Access the Your Library section to remove the Hidden songs.
To unblock or unhide and activate a removed song to be played in Spotify:
- Tap on Your Library
- Tap on Hidden
- Press the red unblock button
- Tap on Hide this song
Now, it will be removed from your Hidden Content and the music will be played in your lists.
Is it possible to hide songs also on the desktop application?
I cannot find anything like that…
Isn’t there a hide button anywhere in the desktop version?
I cannot find anything like that. And if I hide songs on the android application, this has no effect on the playlist in the desktop. That’s unfortunate…
I couldn’t find the hidden content in the library
I cannot get the song that I accidently blocked on Spotify to unblock it still has the red circle with the line going sideways on it.
How can I remove the hidden artist? You just showed songs.
Go to Library > Hidden > Artists.
This is nonsense. I’ve “hidden” hundreds of songs, only a very few show up in the library. AND they keep playing, even with the red circle showing on the right. Spotify desperately needs a NUKE button to actually get rid of a song.
