Since AI Playlist in beta launched last year, Premium Spotify users have used it to create millions of playlists, with the goal of finding music that fits any mood or moment.
Now Spotify is bringing this feature in English to Premium users in more than 40 new markets, including countries in Africa, Asia, Europe, and the Caribbean.
AI Playlist brings users a way to express themselves through the music they love, says Spotify.
How it works:
-
Go to Your Library and tap the “+” button at the top-right corner, then select “AI Playlist.” Or, head to the Search tab on Spotify and search “AI Playlist.”
-
Then, select one of the suggested ideas or simply type your own.
-
Spotify will suggest songs for a personalised playlist made just for the user based on the tracks, artists and genres Spotify thinks they will like. Have notes? It’s easy to revise and refine – just ask for what you want, like “more upbeat” or “happier songs.”
Spotify points out that the most successful playlists are generated through “genre,” “mood,” or “artist” requests. But animals, activities, movie characters, colours, and even emojis are all fair game too.
-
To get started, Spotify suggests trying out:
-
“Afrobeat tracks to heat up the dance floor”
-
“Trending K-Pop hits I need to know”
-
“2000s reggaeton for soaking up the sun”
-
“Songs to hype me up for the football match”
-
“Upbeat Latin songs from my top genre”
With AI Playlists in beta, Spotify notes that it is still actively learning and iterating with each exchange and that it will continue to refine AI Playlist to best serve its listeners and bring the feature to even more users.
