Spotify is a great streaming service that gives you access to millions of songs and albums. However, it can be frustrating when Spotify decides to add random songs to your playlists without your permission. This can happen for a variety of reasons, such as the algorithm thinking you might like the song or artist, or if you’ve added songs from the same genre or artist in the past.
The first thing you should do to stop Spotify from adding random songs is to turn off its ‘Auto-Add’ feature. This is found in the settings menu under ‘Music Quality’. Just select ‘Off’ and this will stop Spotify from automatically adding songs to your playlists.
Another way to prevent random song additions is by creating a playlist with only songs that you specifically want in it. This will prevent Spotify from adding any other songs that it thinks you may like. You can also use the ‘Edit Playlist’ feature on desktop or mobile devices to delete any unwanted songs.
If you have previously added songs that aren’t relevant anymore, you can use the ‘Remove Duplicates’ feature which can be found under ‘Options’. This will remove any duplicate entries in your playlists, giving them a much-needed refresh.
Finally, if none of these solutions seem to work, then there’s always the option of deleting and recreating your playlist from scratch. This may not be ideal, but it’s an effective way of making sure that only the songs that you want are included.
Conclusion: Stopping Spotify from adding random songs to your playlists doesn’t have to be difficult. By turning off its ‘Auto-Add’ feature, creating playlists with only specific tracks and using the ‘Remove Duplicates’ feature, you should be able to keep on top of all unwanted additions. If all else fails, then deleting and recreating your playlist from scratch may be necessary.
