How to remove a music service from the favorites tab in Home app?

[Thos]

I want to simplify what is shown on the favorites tab in the app. I don't want to see any content from SoundCloud or Tunein there because it's overwhelming and I will access this by directly opening the music service in the Browse tab instead. Is it possible to manage what is displayed on the favorites tab?
I'm not talking about presets which I know I can manage through the device settings.

You can manage your music services in the Browse tab.

I don't want to disable SoundCloud (or any other service) - which is what is done through the Browse tab. I just want to remove the clutter from the favorites view.
Conventionally, Favorites should only ever show items specifically chosen by the user, but in the Home app things get added automatically. I am asking if there is a way to choose what is displayed.
My current solution is to log out of Tunein and SoundCloud, which I'm sure will please the business dev. folks at WiiM

No, there is no way to choose what is displayed on the Favorites tab.

As I understand it, if you use a service but don’t favourite anything, it shouldn’t appear on the favourites tab.

You can select only the services you want to display from the tabs here.


But I may have misunderstood your request. Do you want to select only what you want to display from the playlists, albums, tracks, and artists that appear in each service?
(That's not possible at the moment, but I'm all for it )

As I understood it he simply does not want any favorite

Is that so?
If so, I guess he just don't have to use it...

The only way to "remove the clutter". But yes, just ignoring the button could solve it.

Personally I removed all music services but Qobuz as I don’t use any of the others

That's my way too. But in a way he is right. What I see when tapping the favorites button it is a least chaotic. But some will love it. Ignoring sometimes is the best solution to avoid annoyance

Indeed it is.

It tells the whole history. And if one uses more than one service it is really what he calls clutter. In landscape mode it are 4 in words four pages.

Well, "Recently Played" is the only section displaying content, which you did not explicitly added to your favourites in one way or the other.

As has been said before, there's no direct way to manage what should be displayed.

Thanks everyone for your replies. As @Wiimer suggested, essentially I'd like to select only what I want to display from the playlists, albums, tracks, and artists that appear in each service.
The issue is that each service may automatically add several carousels of content to the Favourites tab, as each has their own list of your recently played, playlists, favorites etc. This is in addition to the carousel of device presets, so you end up with an overwhelming selection of indistinguishable content.
The point of favorites is that it should be a reduced list of personally chosen shortcuts that saves me from trawling through the noise.
Most of the content is accessible just as easily from the browse tab, so the Favorites tab is just duplicating content. I can just go to SoundCloud and select playlists for example.
If the idea is for Favorites to be like a dashboard for all your music, it needs to allow more customization to be useful.

I agree vehemently.

I mainly use Amazon music, but the albums, tracks and artists are completely useless as they can't be sorted.
