+# Muting artists
+
+If you feel that some of your music is embarrassing for others you can mute specific artists in the settings window.
+This functionality is inspired by the [adblock ticket](https://github.com/Mastermindzh/tidal-hifi/issues/112), and whilst I personally feel you should simply buy Tidal, I also believe in muting sound that you don't want to hear.
+
+Anyway, to block an artist, open the settings window (see image below) and enter a list of artists in the textarea as seen below.
+Don't forget to turn the feature on and Tidal-hifi will automatically mute the player whenever that artist is playing.
+
+This will allow you to skip the song without anyone noticing. (you can always say "no idea, it seems to have no audio").
