exclude from taste profile

Is there to exclude a playlist from your taste profile so it doesn’t show up in your monthly My Deezer Month playlist? I listen to instrumental music during work hours but I don’t want it influencing my algorithm.

    @Budzy I totally get how having your instrumental playlist show up all over your My Deezer Month summary can be a bit of a bummer. I use sleep playlists and it would definitely be awesome to have the option to exclude certain playlists from the monthly and year-end analyses.

    Currently, there isn’t a way to do that, but I love the idea and will make sure to pass it along. Hopefully, it's something deezer can look into in the future.

    Not what you’re asking for, but you can exclude specific tracks or artists from recommendations by selecting the three-dot menu next to a song or artist and choosing to "Don't recommend this track" or "Don't recommend this artist.” This will help with your algo.

    Enjoy your music.

    I also dont want my sleeping music included in my monthly recap, hope this gets resolved soon!

    At this point my monthly recap is sleep playlist only and my recommendations are all wack too, but I don’t wanna fully exclude those artists either. Hope they add the exclude playlist for taste profile option soon

    Same for me. I listed to Lofi during work hours a lot but I don’t want it in my recommendations.

    Agreed, please make this an option, Deezer!

    Hey ​@Budzy ✋🏼
    Maybe we could also suggest a feature to "Don't recommend these tracks" or "Don't recommend these artists” from playlist X ← and have the option to select. This way we don’t have to go through every option from our playlists that we want to exclude from our taste profile. Might this be a middle ground?

    100% need this! I am trying to maintain my switch from Spotify to Deezer, but having my sleep playlist mixed in with my "made for you" Playlists is problematic at best. Please add this!

    The year recap makes no sense at all either, hope they fix it soon so I can delete the old Spotify account and fully make the switch to Deezer too

    This has happened with every service I’ve used, no one has found a comprehensive solution for it yet.

    Throwing in my 2 cents like others... I listen to music to fall asleep and that overwhelmingly messed up my year recap. I really hope the devs can find a way to "exclude from listening profile" ASAP :( that was a pretty important add to Spotify and I really don't want to go back to that app for a singular but comprehensive reason.
