Today, Spotify kicked off Stream On by doubling down on discovery, revealing a new, dynamic interface on mobile built for deeper discovery and more meaningful connections between artists and fans.
The new Spotify will roll out in waves beginning today, below is a snapshot of what to expect:
- New Home Feed: Within the new Home experience on mobile, users can scroll purposefully through visual feeds for Music, Podcasts or Audiobooks to sample audio before diving in. Once they find something they like, it’s just a quick tap to save or share, preview multiple songs from a playlist or album, read along with transcriptions for many episode picks, and even watch video podcasts to get more from every recommendation.
- Feeds within Search: Within Search, users can scroll up or down to explore short Canvas clips from tracks from some of your favorite genres. Spotify is also bringing this to popular playlists like Discover Weekly, Release Radar, New Music Friday and RapCaviar – inviting users to quickly preview tracks on a playlist before diving in.
- Smart Shuffle: Smart Shuffle is the evolution of Enhance – breathing new life into carefully curated playlists by shuffling tracks and adding new, perfectly tailored suggestions.
- Podcast Autoplay: Just like with music, Spotify will now serve Autoplay for Podcasts — when a podcast ends, another episode will automatically start playing that fits the user’s tastes and is relevant.
- DJ: These announcements also follow the recent Beta launch of DJ, a new personalized AI guide that knows you and your music taste so well that it can choose what to play for you. DJ can be found at the top of your Music Feed.
