A 'Don't play this artist' feature appeared in the latest version of the Spotify app for iOS and Android, as first spotted by Thurrot. The company hasn't made any mention of it and no details are. Enjoy millions of the latest Android apps, games, music, movies, TV, books, magazines & more. Anytime, anywhere, across your devices.
Check out an example of this being used: IMPORTANT NOTE: If you have the Spotify Desktop App on your PC you can get the URI to use with the Browse URL action right away: Basically, you can skip to step 3! Just add
:play
at the end of the Spotify URI to start playing it automatically!

This works for playlists, but also for Albums and possibly other types of URIs!
Create a new task called Play Spotify Playlist From Share
Add a variable set action where you set %par1 to a playlist link you get from the Android Spotify app when you go into a playlist > Menu > Share > Copy Link
Add an If condition to that action, making it only set if %par1 is not already set
Setting %par1 manually like this will make it easier to test the task without having to create an additional task just for testing purposes
Add an AutoTools Regex action
Set the Text field to %par1 (which contains the Spotify URL)
Set the Regex field to /user/(?<userid>.+?)/playlist/(?<playlistid>.+?)?
Accept and go back to Tasker
This regex will get the user id and playlist id from the URL and create Tasker variables with those values

Add a Browse URL action
Use the following URL:
spotify:user:%userid:playlist:%playlistid:play
Make sure to add the play at the end there, so that the playlist starts playing and doesn't just open
But I had downloaded only select tracks from the albums. Over the weekend I downloaded many more songs from the same albums. That is when the problem began. The problem applies to all songs on the albums Forge & Flagon and Down of Deptford Broadway (both by the band Skinny Lister). They do have a few singles on Spotify that play fine when. Cant play my downloaded songs on spotify phone app.
To call this from another Task simply use the Perform Task action and set Parameter 1 to the Spotify URL you got from the app
It seems that Spotify doesn't start playing automatically if the screen is off, so if you want to ensure that it does, use the Turn On action at the start of the task

If you want to send the playlist remotely like in the demo video you could use a profile to receive a share and send the link to another device with Join. Click here to import a profile like that. Make sure to edit the condition with an AutoShare command you want, and edit the task to send the command to the device you want.
