Global music streaming platform, Spotify, is giving its Premium users a brand-new way to shape the sound of their playlists.
Now, with a new feature currently in beta, users can go a step further by adding transitions between tracks, essentially turning playlists into personalised mixes.
The tool, called Mix, makes it easy to control “how songs flow together”. By opening any playlist and selecting the Mix option from the toolbar, users can instantly create smooth blends between tracks.
For a quick result, there’s an Auto mode that applies transitions automatically. But those who want more creative control can dive in and customise.
From simple presets like Fade or Rise to detailed adjustments of volume, EQ, and effect curves, listeners can experiment with different ways to link songs. A visual waveform and beat data help identify the best points for transitions, giving every playlist a professional, DJ-style polish.
The company says once a mix is saved, it can be enjoyed solo, shared with friends, or even co-created with other Premium subscribers. And for flexibility, the Mix feature can be switched on or off at any time with a single tap.
However, it remains unclear to which “select users” the feature is available while in Beta.
