How to get rid of “episodes and shows” from Spotify:

It’s really annoying to see loads of podcasts and shows you’ve never listened to take priority over music you want to find and hear. But you can get rid of this by editing the xpui.js file which is archived in xpui.spa.

You need to navigate to the Apps folder in Spotify and you should have 7-zip installed in your Program Files.

$ cd /Applications/Spotify.app/Contents/Resources/Apps/
$ “c:\program files\7-zip\7z.exe” e xpui.spa xpui.js
(this extracts xpui.js from the archive so we can edit it)

$ notepad xpui.js

find: types:”album,playlist,artist,show,station,episode”
delete show, episode
(there may be a second types:”album … which you can also delete show, episode from)

$ “c:\program files\7-zip\7z.exe” d xpui.spa xpui.js
$ “c:\program files\7-zip\7z.exe” a xpui.spa xpui.js
(this deletes xpui.js from the archive and then readds the newly saved version)
