Spotify Launches 'Mix' Beta to Let Premium Users DJ Playlist Transitions

The playlist-focused tool emphasizes manual control plus social sharing to distinguish Spotify Premium from Apple Music's automatic AutoMix.

Overview

  • Mix is rolling out in beta to eligible Premium accounts via a new button on playlist toolbars, with some APAC markets and users without the latest app update seeing it later.
  • Listeners can apply an Auto instant blend or choose presets such as Fade, Rise, Melt, or Wave, then fine-tune transitions between tracks.
  • Granular editing includes volume, EQ, and effect curves, with waveform and beat visuals plus automatic BPM and key readouts for each song.
  • Mixed playlists can be saved, shared, and co-edited only with other Premium users, and the Mix toggle lets listeners switch back to standard playback at any time.
  • Coverage frames the feature as Spotify’s customizable answer to Apple Music’s incoming AutoMix, focusing on playlist-specific control rather than system-wide automatic mixing.
