Spotify Unveils AI-Powered Playlist Feature, Allowing Users to Fine-Tune Their Music Experience
In a move to further personalize its music streaming service, Spotify is launching an advanced AI-powered playlist feature in the US and Canada. The new "Prompted Playlist" allows users to describe exactly what they want to hear, effectively giving them control over the algorithm that recommends songs.
With this feature, subscribers can create playlists by specifying exact criteria, such as saving tracks from their library, a specific TV show or movie, or even using pop culture information and chart trends. The AI then uses this input to curate a playlist of relevant songs. Users can also refresh the playlist over time, edit it at any moment, and even see a short explanation for each track that was added.
Beta testers have reported using Prompted Playlist to revisit songs tied to specific moments in their lives, as well as filtering out tracks they've overplayed recently. Others are exploring more creative options, such as crafting long, lyric-free electronic playlists or mixing in artists connected to current pop culture trends and viral sensations.
The new feature will be available to Spotify Premium subscribers in the US and Canada by the end of the month. While a simpler AI Playlist feature will still exist alongside Prompted Playlist, the latter offers more advanced capabilities and can sift through more data to provide users with a more tailored music experience.

!!! it's like they're finally listening to our playlist game and giving us even more control over what we hear on the platform 
can you imagine being able to create playlists based on your fave TV show or movie? that would be such a game changer for me 
I'm also lowkey obsessed with the idea of getting personalized playlists tailored to my mood, like if I'm feeling stressed they could add some chill vibes 
and who knows maybe this will finally help me find those missing tracks in my library that I've been searching for forever 
i mean who doesn't want their fave artists on demand?! i've been using that 'save tracks from library' feature for ages but now its gonna be way easier lol like i can finally make playlists just by thinking about it 
imagine being able to relive memories with your fave songs on repeat 
my friend just used prompt playlist and made a sick 90s throwback playlist and now every time she hears 'no scrubs' by TLC she's taken back to her teens 
just got wind of this new Spotify feature and I gotta say its kinda cool how you can fine-tune your playlist now 
basically if you're one of those people who's always like "play me some indie stuff" but then also wanna listen to some chill vibes, prompt playlist is the way to go 
it makes sense that they'd add this feature since theres so many users out there tryna customize their playlists more 
. Can't wait to try it out and see how it changes my music listening experience!
I've always struggled with playlists because they can be hit or miss, but this Prompted Playlist thing sounds like it's going to make all the difference. Can't wait to try it out and see how good it is at creating playlists that actually sound awesome 
I am SO stoked about this new feature on Spotify!!! It's like, totally going to change my music game 
. The fact that I can refresh and edit them whenever I want is just perfect 
! Can't believe Spotify is giving us this level of control over our music experience 
!
... I mean, I guess it's cool that they're trying to make playlists even more personalized for us, but what if the algorithm gets it completely wrong? I'm already tired of songs being added to my library without me actually listening to them. Can't we just stick with a simple "liked" feature like before?
... I mean, what's the point of paying more if it's just going to be another thing that breaks or gets bugged? And have you tried to edit a playlist with Prompted Playlist? Forget about it! It takes forever to make any changes.
. I mean, imagine being able to tailor your playlist to the exact vibe you're in - it's like having a personal DJ at your beck and call 
. And I love how some people are getting creative with this feature too, crafting electronic playlists or mixing in artists tied to current trends 
. Can't wait to try it out and see what kind of sick playlists I can come up with 
Can't wait to try it out!
. i mean it's no surprise that users want to relive those iconic moments, like this graph showing a 30% increase in prompt-related playlists from january to march
