I'd be happy with just a simple Incognito mode. Not so much that I'm embarrassed about listening to some things, as I am "I wonder what that sounds like" but don't want my recommendations poisoned.


This exists. It's called "Private listening".

Awesome, thanks. It looks like Apple Music doesn't have this, but you can go to your history and remove songs, which would accomplish the same thing: https://www.idownloadblog.com/2019/11/18/apple-music-listeni...


As opposed to public listening? This whole feature is named after a Freudian slip.


Click the link and you'll see that yes, as opposed to appearing on your public activity feed. Perfectly reasonable name for the feature. Not sure what's Freudian about it.


Yes, normally what you listen to get put up on a feed to your "friends" in the app.


Okay - my apologies for jumping the gun on this comment :P

Just seemed like they were describing their analytics/logging/recommendation systems as "not private".


Shoulda been called 'guilty pleasures'.


Ha, Yeah just mentioned incognito at the same time as you, totally think this should be a thing
