Overview

  • Premium users with access can tap the new Mix button on their playlists to apply automatic transitions or customize each handoff between tracks.
  • Presets like Fade or Rise sit alongside granular controls for volume, EQ, and effect curves, with waveform, BPM, and key data displayed to guide edits.
  • Mixed playlists can be saved, toggled on or off, shared, and co‑edited, but only with other Premium subscribers.
  • Spotify says the beta is rolling out gradually to most eligible Premium accounts on iOS, with some APAC markets getting it later and some users not seeing it yet.
  • Early hands-on tests find stronger customization than Apple Music’s AutoMix but note that the Auto preset can misjudge timing, with smoother results from tracks with similar BPM or dance genres.
