Spotify has expanded its AI DJ feature globally, allowing users to enjoy custom listening experiences regardless of where they are. This move comes as the competition between Spotify and Apple Music continues to heat up, with both platforms constantly adding new features to attract users.
In a bid to catch up with Spotify, Apple Music has launched its first personalized new music discovery playlist. While Spotify users have had access to this feature for years, Apple Music users have eagerly awaited its arrival. Recently spotted by Apple Insider, the Discovery station will be located next to the (Your name) Station in the app’s Listen Now tab.
Unlike the (Your name) Station which creates a playlist based on the user’s library, the Discovery station uses algorithmic patterns based on the user’s listening habits to compile a playlist that aligns with their music taste. Currently, the feature is only available to select users, and Apple has yet to release any official details. However, MacRumors has discovered a direct link where users can access the feature and their Discovery Station.
While Apple plays catch-up, Spotify is expanding access to its AI-powered DJ custom music feature. Previously, the feature was only available in beta in North America, but Spotify has now made it accessible in over 50 markets worldwide, including select regions in Europe, Asia, Africa, Australia, and New Zealand.
This personalized feature creates custom music selections accompanied by the commentary of a realistic voice, providing insightful facts about the music being played. However, it is important to note that only Spotify Premium users can currently access the feature on their Spotify mobile app for both iOS and Android. It is located in the Music feed tab on Spotify’s home, and users can simply click DJ to utilize the feature.
In conclusion, both Spotify and Apple Music are continuously innovating and launching new features to enhance users’ music streaming experiences. While Apple introduces its personalized discovery playlist, Spotify expands the availability of its AI DJ feature globally. Whether you prefer one platform over the other, it’s clear that more custom listening experiences are on the horizon for music enthusiasts around the world.
