A New Tool for Premium Subscribers
The audio streaming service provider Spotify announced on Sunday in its blog, that it’s introducing another tool for its premium subscribers. The aim of introducing this new tool is to fuel discovery and music curation on the platform. According to the report, with the new AI playlist in beta, users can turn any of their creative ideas into playlists.
Spotify said that there are about 2 billion discoveries that take place on its platform, and features like their AI DJ and daylist help bring fans closer to the artists they love. The new feature will be available for users on Android and iOS in the United Kingdom and Australia.
The audio streaming service provider said that users can use references to colors, places, movie characters, etc. as prompts.
“You can use prompts that reference places, animals, activities, movie characters, colors, even emojis! The most successful playlists are generated with prompts that contain a combination of genres, moods, artists, or decades. It’s a brand-new tool, and it is still in beta, so we’ll continue to iterate and innovate on the experience. Stay tuned on what’s to come!” Spotify said.
How to Create the New Feature
According to the report, to find an AI Playlist, go to the Spotify mobile app, and at the bottom-right corner of your screen, select “Your Library.” From your library, tap the “+” button at the top-right corner of the app and select “AI Playlist.” Select one of the suggested prompts or type your own. Get creative and be specific! For example, you could try creating “sad music for painting dying flowers” or “tracks for horse riding into the sunset.” Spotify will offer some tracks that match the vibe you’re going for, and from there, you can easily manage the selection of songs by previewing and deleting tracks. You can also revise and refine the playlists you generate by telling the AI Playlist what you’re looking for (i.e., “more pop” or “less upbeat”). Tap “Create,” and your new playlist will be saved automatically in Your Library.
Spotify said that they can help users curate a personalized playlist based on the tracks, artists, and genres they think the users will like, and that the tool is still in beta and will continue to be iterated in the coming months. The tool won’t produce results for non-music-related prompts, like current events or specific brands, and there are measures in place around prompts that are offensive.
About Spotify AI DJ
On Feb 22, 2023, Spotify introduced the AI DJ. According to the report, the DJ is a personalized AI guide that knows you and your music taste so well that it can choose what to play for you. This feature, first rolling out in beta, will deliver a curated lineup of music alongside commentary around the tracks and artists we think you’ll like in a stunningly realistic voice.
The AI will go through the latest music, look back at some of your old favorites, or resurface songs you haven’t listened to for years. It will then review what you might enjoy and deliver a stream of songs picked just for you. And what’s more, it constantly refreshes the lineup based on your feedback.
