Call it a first-world problem if you want, but we’ve all been there: listening to our favorite songs so many times on repeat that we actually get sick of them, despite how much we once enjoyed them. Spotify is working on a solution to this very problem.
The music streaming service announced yesterday that it has started testing a new feature that you can use when a song is played too often. It’s a 30-day snooze that temporarily removes the song in question from your recommended Spotify playlists.
In other words, if you feel like you’ve heard a song too many times and it feels played out, all you have to do is press a button for Spotify to stop playing it for a month. Note that Spotify says the removal affects “your recommendations,” so it’s unclear whether you’ll still keep hearing songs in user-made playlists despite being snoozed.
Spotify has begun testing the new snooze feature on Premium subscribers. Other Spotify users will get access to it “soon.”
Along with the new snooze feature, Spotify also has a refreshed Hide button that hides a particular song in its playlist so you don’t have to listen to it again. Presumably this is for playlists that aren’t your own, from which you don’t have the ability to delete songs.
