Resetting preferences for profile

I am looking to reset my Music preferences across devices. The app keeps streaming music I dislike. I have tried to dislike the artists and since that didn't work, I deleted my profile. But when I create a new one, it synchs to my old profile preferences. Is there a way to re-select the type of music you would like to have associated with your profile?

Thanks

Reset suggestions and personalized recommendations in Apple Music When I first started with iTunes, I had to select my favourites music genres and artists. From then, in the "Listen Now" tab, it appears "my station", which plays music of artists and genres I don't like anymore, and in the new releases, it recommends me music that again, I don't like anymore. I want to reset the music they suggest me, and change it so it recommends me music that I like. I've tried to turn off "Personalised recommendations" (in the account settings), tell iTunes to "Suggest less like this" or "Love" to some of the music (and see if it changed the suggestions), and even "Delete Profile". None of them works. The last one, I've read that when you delete your profile, all your music library gets deleted and you have to create a new profile, allowing you to select again your musical preferences. Instead, when I delete it, it doesn't do anaything, and when I create a new profile, it is like if iTunes was remembering all the stuff I just "deleted", and I still have the same friends, followers and following. I don't know if I'm not deleting it correctly (I do it from "Edit Profile" section).

Deleting and restarting Apple Music - I give up! My Apple algorithm has gone totally rogue and continues to play music completely out of my taste. Thus far I have tried: Liking / disliking tracks Deleting my Apple Music profile and re-creating it Removing similar music from my library I'm really fed up with this as Spotify seem to know exactly who I am, but I can't use it on Homepod without Airplaying (before someone jumps in with that idea). I'd like to delete / reset my Apple Music account and reset it entirely.

Deleted and Private Playlists Appearing in Apple Music Search Results When I search my Apple Music username, it shows my profile and then a bunch of deleted playlists that were never made public or visible on my profile. I can’t edit them. I have tried adding them to my library and then re-deleting but that doesn’t work. I tried adding them and editing them to rename them and remove all the songs and that works when you click on it (the search result view still shows the old title). When I try to delete the edited playlist, though, it reverts back to the original. When it’s added to my library, the option to “show on profile and in search” is toggled off but it still shows up in search. Please help! I don’t want old and private playlists to be visible especially when they’re from years ago and I never shared them.

Hi tronco,

Thanks for posting in Apple Support Communities.

We understand you want to reset your Apple Music preferences. There isn't a specific setting to reset your music preferences. You can disable Personalized Recommendations. This will stop Apple Music, Apple TV, and other Apple apps from making recommendations on what you have previously listened to or watched.

To disable this feature:

Open the Apple Music app
Tap on Listen Now
Choose your Profile from the top-right corner
Scroll down and choose Account Settings
Disable Personalized Recommendations
Choose Done

Listen to music and more in the Apple Music app

Regards.
