Tired of always listening to the same song on Spotify? Try the Snooze button!

After the welcome possibility of deactivating intelligent random reading, Spotify has just introduced a series of new features designed to make listening more personal and more manageable. The objective is simple: give more control to the listener by making the application more intuitive, faster and personalized. We start with a redesigned and easier to use queue, let’s move on to new Playlist options and finally come to a curious idea: the Snooze button, which deletes a song from Spotify suggestions for 30 days, without deleting it from your playlists. It’s perfect when you love a song, but you listened to it ad nauseam and we want to take a little break. In addition to this new feature, the Hide button has also changed: now, when we hide a song, it disappears from all the devices, not just the one we use. These options are currently tested with premium users, but the idea is to extend them to everyone soon.

Spotify has updated its Playlists editing tools on smartphones. We now find three quick keys at the top:

– Add songs
– Order the scale
– Modify the playlist

We can change the title, the cover, the position of the song and much more in a simple and immediate way. In English -speaking countries, it is already possible to transform the songs recorded in the favorites into a playlist: it is enough to filter by genre and click on “transform into playlist”. In Italy, this feature is not yet available, but it could happen in the future.

Instead, by pressing the new ” +” button at the bottom right, we can:

– Create new reading lists,
– Listen to music with friends thanks to Jam,
– Join a blend,
– Use AI Playlist, the functionality that creates reading lists from original ideas.

In practice, you can write things like “music for cooking on Sundays” or “soundtrack for a melancholy evening” and Spotify will automatically compose an ad hoc playlist. AI reading lists are already available for many premium users and are about to extend to more markets.
