What you need to know
In a significant enhancement to its AI DJ feature, Spotify has announced an update that will be available to Premium users starting today, October 15. This latest iteration introduces the ability for users to submit “text requests,” allowing for a more personalized interaction with the platform.
- Users can now write in their song requests instead of relying solely on voice commands.
- Additionally, the AI DJ will offer personalized prompt suggestions, helping users discover new music tailored to their preferences.
- Spanish-speaking users will also benefit from these updates, as the DJ now accommodates both voice and written requests in Spanish.
This week, Spotify is rolling out enhancements to its AI DJ for Android users, aiming to create a more intimate and user-friendly experience. The introduction of voice requests earlier this spring marked a pivotal moment for the AI DJ, and the company is keen to build upon that foundation with this latest update. The decision to incorporate text requests stems from user feedback, highlighting a consistent demand for this feature.
Starting this week, Premium users can type their song requests in addition to utilizing the existing voice feature. Initially, the DJ operated solely through voice commands, where users could long-press the DJ icon while listening to convey their musical desires. Now, users can express their preferences not only by naming specific songs or artists but also by sharing their mood or preferred genres.
For those who may not yet see the DJ feature on their homepage, Spotify suggests searching for “DJ” directly. Once located, users can engage with the AI to enjoy music curated based on their listening history.
Moreover, it’s essential to remember Spotify’s recent Lossless Listening update, which began rolling out in September. This eagerly awaited enhancement brings refined audio quality to mobile devices, ensuring that every beat resonates with clarity and depth. Exclusive to Premium users, Lossless Listening enriches the sound experience across private playlists, liked songs, and various AI-generated playlists, including the DJ, Jam, Mix, and Daylists.
