AI-Recommended Music? Spotify Is Giving You the Power to Personalize
A new Spotify feature promises to let you view and personalize your Taste profile, co-CEO Gustav Söderström announced during a session at South by Southwest on Friday.
Currently, Spotify’s taste profile is driven by AI based on your listening habits, history, and song preferences. In-app AI analyzes what you skip, play, repeat, revisit, and save to personalize the recommendations you see in Discover Weekly, Daily Mixes, and Wrapped playlists. But this new feature gives you, the listener, the power to shape what you see.
This feature is currently in beta and will first roll out to New Zealand listeners in the coming weeks.
Refine your taste
With this feature, Spotify takes you under the hood to show you how the app understands your music tastes. Then you can edit it yourself to shape what’s recommended to you on Spotify’s homepage.
Want to listen to more Justin Bieber? You can ask for more. Want less house music added to your recommended playlists? Ask less.
You can also tell the app what genres and artists you’re into, or if you want to create a certain mood.
Over time, your feedback will refine your music recommendations, so that what’s prioritized, queued, and discovered on Home is curated with your help.
