Spotify announces AI-generated playlists : How it works, availability and other details

Spotify AI

Popular music streaming platform Spotify has announced a new feature called AI playlist. As the name suggests, users can now create AI-generated playlists. The features is being made available in the UK and Australia for now. Only Spotify Premium subscribers will have access to the feature.

How will the feature work?

Spotify says that users need to put a text prompt and a playlist will be generated. For example, if a user types“an indie folk playlist to give my brain a big warm hug,” “relaxing music to tide me over during allergy season,” or “a playlist that makes me feel like the main character”?, AI Playlist will create a list of curated songs. “Whether you’re a beginner or an expert playlist creator, AI Playlist pairs our powerful personalisation technology with AI to deliver that perfect musical mix just for you,” said Spotify.

How to use the AI Playlist feature?

Users in the UK and Australia on iOS and Android can now curate AI playlists. To find AI Playlist, head to the Spotify mobile app and select “Your Library” at the bottom-right corner of your screen.

• 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 then offer some tracks with the text prompt. From there, you can easily manage the selection of songs by previewing and deleting tracks. You can revise and refine the playlists you generate by telling 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.
