Why does Spotify automatically add songs to my library?
Spotify has a feature called “Auto-add” that automatically adds songs you’ve saved or added to playlists to your library. While this feature is meant to help you keep track of your favorite tracks, it can sometimes become overwhelming, especially if you’re an active playlist user.
How can I disable the auto-add feature?
Disabling the auto-add feature on Spotify is a simple process. Here’s how you can do it:
1. Open the Spotify app on your device.
2. On the bottom right of your screen, tap on the ‘Home’ tab.
3. In the top-right corner, click on the cogwheel icon to access your settings.
4. Under the ‘Library’ section, you will find an option called ‘Add Automatically.’ Toggle this off to disable the auto-add feature.
5. If the toggle is turned off, new songs won’t be automatically added to your library.
Will disabling this feature affect my saved playlist?
Disabling the auto-add feature will not affect your saved playlists. The playlists will remain intact, and you can continue to add or remove songs as you please. The only difference is that new additions to those playlists will no longer be automatically added to your library.
Can I still add songs to my library manually?
Absolutely! Disabling the auto-add feature does not prevent you from adding songs to your library manually. You can still save individual songs or whole albums by using the “Save” or “Add to Library” option available on each track or album.
Is there an alternative way to manage my library?
Yes, Spotify offers another feature called ‘Liked Songs.’ Instead of using your library to keep track of favorite tracks, you can save them to your ‘Liked Songs’ playlist. This way, all your favorite songs will be in one place, separate from your library. To add a song to your ‘Liked Songs’ playlist, simply click the heart icon next to it.
Can I undo my decision to disable the auto-add feature?
Certainly! If you ever change your mind and want to re-enable the auto-add feature on Spotify, you can easily do so by following the same steps mentioned earlier. Just go back to your settings, toggle ‘Add Automatically’ on, and new songs will once again be added to your library.
Taking control of your Spotify library is essential to personalize your music experience. By disabling the auto-add feature, you can ensure that your library remains clutter-free, and only your hand-picked favorites grace the collection. Remember, you can always manually add songs or use the ‘Liked Songs’ playlist to maintain a separate list of your favorite tracks. So go ahead, customize your Spotify experience and enjoy your music without any unwanted additions!
