Spotify Unveils AI-Driven Playlist Creation Feature: Here’s How It Works
Finding music on apps can be a multi-layered process but AI is here to your rescue. Spotify is rolling out its new AI feature that lets you list tracks in a playlist using text prompts. So, if you want to listen to upbeat morning music, just use the Spotify AI feature and get a complete playlist of songs that match your description. The AI playlist feature is like a copilot for your music listening. If you don’t like what Spotify shows, users can further tweak the prompts and enter more details to get closer to your preferences.
SPOTIFY AI PLAYLIST: HOW IT WORKS
Spotify AI playlists are currently available to premium subscribers, so expect this feature to work like a beta product. You can start text prompting on the platform for new playlists by doing these things:
– Go to your Spotify library and tap the + icon to activate the AI assistant
– Spotify users will see a screen with the message ‘What do you want to listen to today’
– The platform also has a few pre-loaded templates to get you started
– Spotify will use its AI tech to find the best tracks for your playlist
– A list of songs will appear on your screen, click Create to create a new AI playlist
Spotify is only offering AI playlists to its subscribers in the UK and Australia, and only to those with the mobile app. We still don’t know if Indian subscribers will be able to try this feature but we expect it to happen soon. Spotify wants more people to pay for its service, and we’ve seen the change before our eyes recently. Basic features like replaying or repeating the same song have been left behind a paywall, while free users see their options limited by the day.
AI is certainly popular among segments, and it is imperative for Spotify to jump on the wagon. Having said that, AI has raised its concerns, and the last thing you want is for your music app to produce some funny results. Platforms have to be careful about what results their AI models show to avoid unnecessary scrutiny.
