Spotify recently launched a new “AI Playlist” feature that allows premium subscribers to type in a prompt and have a “personalized” playlist with a unique title created in seconds. Premium subscribers in the US, Canada, New Zealand, and Ireland can now access AI Playlists in beta.

What is Spotify Playlist Maker AI?

Spotify Playlist Maker AI is an advanced feature designed to create custom playlists for Spotify subscribers based on the prompts they feed to the AI. This AI-powered tool combines machine learning algorithms with Spotify’s expansive music library to deliver a personalized music experience like never before.

How Does Spotify’s AI Playlist Generator Work?

Spotify’s AI uses deep learning models and music data analysis to predict what users might want to hear next. The platform ensures that every playlist resonates with the subscriber’s preferences by analyzing past listening habits, genres they like, and even songs they’ve skipped.

How to Make a Playlist on Spotify Using AI

Creating a playlist using Spotify’s AI Playlist Maker is simple:

Open Spotify on your mobile app
Go to Your Library, click the plus symbol to create a new playlist

Choose the AI Playlist option

Input Your Preferences: Share details like your mood, favorite genres, or specific songs you want included. The App also gives recommendations to spark your creativity.

Generate and Customize: Let the AI create a playlist, then tweak it by adding or removing songs.

With this feature, you can get as creative as your mind allows. You can input just about anything, and it will create a playlist aligned with your vision.

No matter how abstract or silly your prompt is the AI will generate a related playlist in a matter of seconds.

This feature is similar to Spotify’s AI DJ which provides commentary, music trivia, and insights along with an AI-curated queue of tunes.

The new AI Playlist Generator feature allows for greater control and refinement in creating a full playlist rather than just a queue.

What Does This Mean for Human-Curated Playlists?

Spotify’s AI Playlist Maker may streamline the music discovery process, but many Spotify subscribers have emphasized the importance of human-curated playlists.

imagine having to ask a computer to curate your tunes, could not be me. AI will never be able to lovingly craft an OC playlist the way a human can and even if the songs were chosen the same, it would not have the same heart https://t.co/hpHNS4yVUS

The most optimistic outlook would be that the Spotify AI tool becomes one of many tools in a Spotify curator’s arsenal. Updating your playlist regularly is a crucial step in retaining listeners on your Spotify playlists, and these AI tools can help you discover new tracks and keep your playlist fresh.

The AI Playlists feature can help human curators come up with new playlist ideas and refine their existing playlists by checking out these recommended songs and using those recommendations to improve their own playlists.
