With Spotify’s AI playlists feature, you can now create playlists at the touch of a button. Here is a step-by-step guide.
New Delhi: The popular audio and music streaming platform Spotify has just released a new AI feature for its users. Spotify is taking music streaming to the next level with the addition of new AI-powered features that provide highly personalised music experiences. By continuing to harness cutting-edge AI technology in innovative ways, Spotify aims to understand users on a deeper level and keep them engaged with the platform. For music lovers, that means an endless supply of personalised sonic experiences to explore and enjoy.
Here are the complete details on all the new AI features of Spotify.
Spotify’s AI-Generated Playlists On-Demand
Spotify is also rolling out a new feature that allows users to generate personalised playlists using AI technology. With the “AI Playlist” option, you can simply type in a prompt describing the kind of playlist you want—like “songs to scream in the car” or “beats to battle a zombie apocalypse”—and Spotify will create a custom playlist for you.
The feature uses large language models to understand the intent behind your prompt. It then taps into Spotify’s vast database of music and applies its personalisation algorithms to generate a playlist tailored to your prompt and your personal music tastes. You can further refine the playlist by swiping to remove songs or issuing additional commands like “more pop” or “less upbeat.”
How to Create Your Sportify AI Playlist
- Open the Spotify mobile app on your iOS or Android device. AI Playlists are currently in beta for Premium users in the UK and Australia.
- Go to “Your Library” and tap the “+” button in the top-right corner.
Select “AI Playlist” from the pop-up menu. - Type a prompt describing the kind of playlist you want, like “songs to scream in the car” or “beats to battle a zombie apocalypse”. You can reference genres, moods, activities, emojis, etc. in your prompt.
- Spotify’s AI will generate a personalised playlist based on your prompt and listening history. You can preview and remove tracks, and provide feedback like “more pop” or “less upbeat” to refine the playlist.
- Tap “Create” to save the AI-generated playlist to Your Library.
Spotify’s AI-powered DJ
One of the most exciting AI additions is the new DJ feature. Spotify’s AI DJ acts as a personal guide that deeply understands your music tastes and preferences. It analyses your listening history and uses that intel to curate a lineup of songs, both old favourites and new discoveries, that it thinks you’ll love.
What’s really cool is that it provides commentary and insights about the tracks and artists as it plays them, thanks to the use of generative AI technology from OpenAI. And it’s all delivered in a stunningly realistic AI voice based on Spotify’s head of cultural partnerships, Xavier “X” Jernigan.
The DJ constantly adapts based on your feedback – if you’re not vibing with its selections, you can hit the DJ button and it will switch things up on the fly. The more you listen and engage, the better its recommendations get over time.
