Description

Denied sees what you're playing in Spotify, iTunes and Apple Music and automatically skips songs that you dislike.

Tracks can be skipped by their artist, title, album, whether they contain explicit lyrics*, or if you’ve heard them before in the past few hours.

Denied allows you to truly enjoy Top 40 playlists, the Christmas season, Spotify Radio and iTunes Radio.

Works with the Spotify desktop app, iTunes and Apple Music.

"That’s where Denied comes in. With a few clicks, you can banish your least-favorite songs or bands from earshot for good."
– Macworld

"Spotify is awesome, but it has one problem. When you're listening to compilations or radio, you sometimes come across artists you hate. Denied fixes that by creating simple rules."
– Lifehacker

"Fortunately you can now download a nifty little app to prevent unwanted artists sneaking into your speakers."
– FACT

Only one problem...

… you might actually end up listening to Nickelback while you are setting it up and testing it, by accident. Even a little exposure might be too much.

I will use it with iTunes radio, and it will make it better.

Very useful

Skip repeating songs makes both Spotify and Apple Music useable. Would love to like/dislike songs from the menubar.

Thanks for the review!

It Works!

I’m a design teacher and love to play Spotify in my classroom when students are working independently. Denied allows me to play those playlists I used to have to bypass due to the multiple titles with explicit content.

Developer Response ,

Excellent! :)
