JAKARTA Spotify has a very diverse genre of songs, from rock to children's songs. Users can search for children's songs and play them easily, but this song will interfere with their account algorithms.

Spotify's algorithm will filter all the songs the user plays. When the queue of songs runs out or when the user listens to the playlist randomly, the child's song can be included in it. For some users, this can be very annoying.

Therefore, Spotify created a special account for children who like to listen to songs. This account is designed for young or under 13-year-old users over parental controls. Currently, the account is being tested in three countries.

"We introduced a Premium music account trial for young listeners," Spotify said. "Through this new trial, they (young users) can enjoy many features and functions that Spotify users know and like, including personalization features," he continued.

Currently, trial of managed accounts is only available in Denmark, New Zealand, and Sweden for users who subscribe to the Premium Family. Through this package, parents can control the screening of videos, content, or songs labeled Explicit by Spotify.

All accounts with the Premium Family package will have separate recommendations for children's songs so that the playlist is not mixed. In addition, the music that children often listen to will not be included in Spotify's annual Wrapped results.

To add accounts to young listeners, parents can open their account pages, then look for the option of 'Adding listeners under the age of 13 years [or equivalent to the local market'. After that, follow the available instructions.
