Step 3. Head to the My Soundtrack station under Listen Your Way section or Your Library. Try enter the station and play something. The My Soundtrack should be fixed and bring back all the songs and genres you like.
Part 2. How to Change My Soundtrack on Amazon Music
Playing the same songs repeated now doesn't do any good to the music recommendation, especially if you're on Prime Music - you even won't be able to listen to on-demand music now! If you wish to change the My Soundtrack station, you should try to discover new songs, and do the follows to make a difference.
Liking as many songs as possible when you're listen to Amazon Music station:
Unlike Spotify's "exclude from your taste profile" feature, which helps tell Spotify to ignore music in certain playlists when it's deciding what type of music you like for further recommendations, there's no such function to edit the My Soundtrack station on Amazon Music. If your My Soundtrack station messed up and you want a way out, the only thing you can try is to go and like as many of the genre or style you want it to show up more in that station.
As stated, the only way to like songs on Amazon Music is through the station, where you can find the thumb-up and thumb-down buttons. Learn how to like/dislike songs on Amazon Music. Or follow these steps:
To like or dislike songs on Amazon Music station:
Step 1. Open the Amazon Music app.
Step 2. Head to the station you like on Amazon Music, such as My Soundtrack. On desktop, click the Search bar in the upper right of the screen and scroll to Listen Your Way > Station. On mobile, choose the Find tab instead and find the station section.
Step 3. Select the station and play it.
Step 4. Now enter the Now Playing bar.
Step 5. Listen to the song and decide to like or dislike it by using the thumb-up or thumb-down button.
If you wish to find a more effective way to find the perfect songs you like on a station, we highly recommend trying the Autoplay feature on Amazon Music. Once you enable the Autoplay feature, just head to the playlist which include your favorite songs, when the last song is ended, Amazon Music will play more similar songs for you and they should be good enough. Learn how to enable Autoplay on Amazon Music. Or follow these steps:
To enable Autoplay on Amazon Music:
Step 1. Open the Amazon Music app.
Step 2. Head to the Settings. On desktop, click the profile icon in the upper-right corner > Settings. On mobile, tap the Gear icon at the top-right > Settings.
Step 3. Scroll to Autoplay (keep listening to similar tracks when you music ends).
Step 4. Toggle Autoplay to enable this feature.
Step 5. Now select the Amazon Music playlist to play. When the music ends, you'll enter the station and be able to like and dislike songs endlessly showing up.
In the meanwhile, a new station based on your playlist is created automatically when you continue listening to the songs in Autoplay mode. If you wish to change the "My Soundtrack", just ensure to like everything you want for it in that Autoplay station.
Following your favorite artists on Amazon Music:
Another workaround would be to follow your favorite artists in the Amazon Music app or ask Alexa to do this for you.
To follow an artist on Amazon Music:
Step 1. Open the Amazon Music app.
Step 2. Find the artist through the search bar or your library.
Step 3. Select the artist to enter the artist's profile on Amazon Music.
Step 4. Under the artist's profile you should see the "Follow" button. If you have followed the artist already, you would see the "Following" button instead.
Step 5. Select Follow and now you will discover more music of that artist when you're listening to Amazon Music.
Removing recently played from the Amazon Music history:
If you're on desktop, you're also suggested to try removing the songs you don' like from your Amazon Music recently played. Fortunately, Amazon Music will notice these activities and your Soundtrack is changed silently. It's not a rocket science, but it's worth trying. The only issue is this can be done only by using either the Amazon Music desktop app or Amazon Music's web player. On mobile, you should enter "music.amazon.com/" in the address bar on Chrome/Firefox and follow the steps below.
To remove recently played on desktop:
Step 1. Open the Amazon Music desktop app. Or enter the Amazon Music web player to log in.
Step 2. Choose the LIBRARY tab from the top of the screen and select Music.
Step 3. When the RECENTs tab is selected, see the Recently Played tab and find the items you don't want the My Soundtrack to include.
Step 4. Open the extended menu (3 dots) and select "Remove from History" (desktop app) or "Remove from Recently Played" (web player).
If you're struggled with the shuffle-only mode on Prime Music, there's a solution for you to listen to any on-demand Amazon Music contents. Go ahead.
