This is happening CONSTANTLY lately. I just heard garbage versions of Walking on Sunshine and Funkytown play, and had to skip them because they were so terrible. Why are these songs even in the library? I LOVE the original songs, but despise the cover versions and wish I could blacklist them forever.

Has anyone had this problem and managed to solve it? I like my "Personal station" because it plays mostly music I like, but then one of these covers come on and I literally want to throw things. They should not exist.

Hey Siri:

“Don’t play this song again”
“Play fewer songs like this”
“Only play music from the early 80’s”

etc.

Or better, just make your own playlists.

Maybe see someone about the throwing things bit.

I’ve had the same issue for ages and it’s infuriating. If I wanted the acoustic remake of a song I’d download it. They also like to randomly replace my music with clean versions.

You guys realize that you’re essentially listening to radio stations, right? Those playlists are supposed to be closer to your taste than just random tracks, but that’s about all.

If you just want to listen to what’s in your library, then play music from your library.
