Overview

  • Premium listeners can tap a new Mix button on any playlist to apply automatic transitions or edit each handoff manually.
  • Users can choose presets such as fade, rise or blend, then fine-tune volume, EQ and effects with waveform, beat, BPM and key readouts.
  • Mixed playlists can be saved and shared, opened for collaboration with other Premium subscribers, and the mix can be toggled off at any time.
  • The update begins rolling out today to most eligible accounts worldwide via the latest iOS app, with some APAC markets waiting.
  • Visual customization includes new stickers and labels for mixes, and Spotify advises pairing songs with similar tempos and keys for best results.
