Spotify is rolling out a feature that will let you tell it to ignore music in certain playlists when itās deciding what type of music you like. The feature is called Exclude From Your Taste Profile, and the company is pitching it as a way to keep your recommendations from getting overrun by āsongs and artists that donāt fitā your general listening habits.
Itās easy to imagine several scenarios where this ability could be useful. Your sleep playlist could end up getting a lot of listen time but may not have the type of music or sounds you want to listen to while youāre awake. Itās a similar story with work playlists, which could be very different from your off-the-clock music tastes.
