Exclude a playlist or track from your taste profile

Taste profile is Spotify’s interpretation of your taste based on what you listen to and how you listen to it. It helps us to personalize your Spotify recommendations, like Discover Weekly and your Home page. It also helps us to personalize experiences with taste summaries, like Wrapped and Blend.

Exclude a playlist or a track from your taste profile

If you exclude a playlist or track from your taste profile, your past and future listens will have less impact on your taste summaries and recommendations.

For example, if you exclude your nightly sleep music, those listens won’t affect personalized playlists like Discover Weekly and Wrapped.

1. Select a playlist or track.
2. Tap (iPhone and Desktop) / (Android) near the top of the playlist.
3. Choose Exclude from your taste profile for playlists or Exclude track from your taste profile for tracks.

To add it back, tap Include in your taste profile for playlists or Include track in your taste profile for tracks.

Note: If you listen to songs that are on an excluded playlist but do so from outside the playlist, such as in Liked Songs, those streams will still be included in your taste profile.
