Spotify adds option to block kids' music from Wrapped

Spotify just launched a setting that stops kids’ songs from shaping your recommendations and year-end Wrapped playlist. Parents can now flip a switch in the mobile app to keep things like nursery rhymes and Disney tracks out of their listening profile. It works for both free and paid accounts, applies globally, and retroactively removes already-played kids’ music from your taste history.

Why it mattersIf you share your account with kids, your Wrapped will actually represent your own taste again. No more Disney soundtracks hijacking your top tracks.
