This new feature joins the company’s efforts to incorporate new AI-powered features
When you wake up you don’t have the same musical tastes as when you’re getting ready to go out partying or when you’re reading in bed before going to sleep. The mood changes throughout the day and, with it, so does the soundtrack. Following this logic, Spotify has launched ‘daylist’ in Spaina playlist that has a ‘life’ of its own and evolves with the users’ mood.
The novelty of ‘daylist’ lies precisely in the adaptability of this new playlist, which is constantly updated so that you don’t have to. To achieve this, Spotify uses Artificial Intelligence algorithms which, thanks to the data it has collected through the application on the type of music a user listens to at any given time, predicts what they will want to hear.
A tool to discover new music
One of the aspects where this list can be especially useful is for find new music. By updating dynamically, it continuously incorporates new artists, something that traditional playlists don’t do. This allows you to discover new music based on your tastes and mood at any given moment.
How to find the ‘daylist’
The new playlist is available in the “Especially for you” section, in the “search” section of the application. To ensure that it is updated, the title of the list is also dynamic and changes depending on the activities that the user expects to do at that particular time of day and is available in Spanish and also in Catalan. In addition, it includes a brief description of the musical styles that can be found in the selection.
This smart list, which was implemented in the United States a year ago, is available to all users, regardless of whether they pay for a premium plan or not.
A personalized radio with AI
Spotify, which launched in 2008, completely changed the relationship between users and music and popularized subscriptions to music services. And much of that success was due to the ability to use algorithms to suggest music that fit users’ tastes. That’s why many of them stopped listening to music radio and succumbed to the personalization of these streaming platforms.
To recover the best of traditional radio without giving up customization, the Swedish company launched in July A Spanish-language DJ created with generative AI. Using a synthetic voice, this feature adds interesting information about the songs being played, as if it were a radio announcer. However, it is only available for Premium plan users.
