Spotify Soon to Allow Block Music News Users From Individual ArtistsByNitish Singh-January 21, 2019.710 The feature is currently being tested for some iOs users and should soon be available to all users. The block functionality was originally scheduled to be released in 2017 but the company chose not to introduce it. You can soon be able to block them if you are tired of listening to some artists whose music you don’t want to hear on Spotify. Although the popular music streaming platform tested the feature back in 2017 it didn’t go live and it looks like Spotify finally came around to actually deliver the highly requested app. Only a small number of iOs users currently have access to the new feature as part of the beta program of Spotify, and when it will be released soon there is no official word. If you wonder how the feature works, the service will simply block all content created by blacklisted artists from chart lists and radio stations in libraries. Even though individual songs can also be blocked manually, it is only possible for individual artists and not if they are included in tracks. .711 The trait was most likely forced into development following a recent controversy involving singer R. Kelly accused of abuse and sexual violence. Although the artist was allegedly dropped by record labels and Spotify excluded him from curated playlists, users were still able to play his music. It has led to a number of users applying for a block feature. With the new feature going live individuals will be able to customize their experience to mute any artists or songs. A music import feature is also said to be in the works that will allow Android users to import and stream audio files from their phones and tablets to any other Spotify device linked to it. A major overhaul of the library is also said to be in the works for mobile users and in the coming weeks we should expect all the new features to pop up. Instant updates on TwitterFacebook account.
