One of our readers sends a question why does Spotify add random songs to my playlist. People who use Spotify are aware of this situation but they don’t know the exact reason for it. They delete songs from the playlist and sometimes new songs come into the playlist.
We did some research and find out the reasons Spotify adds songs to the playlist automatically. After reading the article, you would know the reason and also its solutions.
What Is The Playlist on Spotify?
Like other music apps, Spotify allows you to create playlists. Playlists are music groups that contain songs that are added by you. You can set a name for a playlist such as GYM workout songs. Set a cover image for the playlist.
When Spotify plays music, it plays the next song based on the previous song genre, artist, etc. It’s a high chance that all playing songs won’t be liked by you. When a non-liked song plays, you take the phone in your hand and change it.
When you are taking shower, doing exercise, or traveling then skipping songs is not possible.
Spotify playlists come in handy in this situation. You have added only liked songs into the playlist so without changing songs, you can do your work.
Spotify Adding Songs To Playlist Automatically
Spotify adds songs to the playlist without your permission. But why does this happens? When does Spotify add random songs to my playlists?
The main reason is the short length of the playlist. If Spotify sees that the number of songs in the playlist is less than 15 then Spotify adds songs from its side to make the playlist long.
If you have only 2-3 songs in the playlist, the music will stop after the completion of the playlist. So, for continuous music, Spotify adds more songs to the list.
Another reason for adding random songs to the list is the curated playlist on Spotify. If you don’t create a playlist and add songs to the Spotify playlist then Spotify will add random songs to it.
When we talked to Spotify users then we noticed this issue was only with those people who are using the free version of Spotify. Premium users never face this issue. Maybe this is a trick that is used by Spotify to convert its free users into the premium.
