Spotify’s playlist remixing features are expected to be available in a new Music Pro premium tier.
Spotify is reportedly developing a new feature that will enable users to remix their playlists using “advanced mixing tools.” These tools might let users add different transition styles and sequence tracks with similar key, tempo, and style. This feature is speculated to be part of the rumored Music Pro premium plan, which is also expected to offer lossless music. Last week, Spotify introduced an AI feature that lets users create personalized playlists by entering text prompts.
The details about these mixing tools were shared by tipster Chris Messina in a Threads post, as reported by TechCrunch. Messina discovered strings of code in the latest beta version that hint at the capabilities of these tools. Screenshots shared by Messina suggest that users will be able to “flex your DJ skills with different transition styles to create the ultimate mix.”
In addition to transition styles, the feature is expected to offer automatic reordering of tracks by sequencing songs with similar key, tempo, and style. This could help users fine-tune their playlists effortlessly. Mentions of “advanced mixing tools” indicate that users might also get detailed control over DJ-like features, allowing for manipulation of tracks with beats and other effects.
This development follows Spotify’s recent AI-driven personalized playlist feature, enhancing the platform’s focus on user customization and advanced listening experiences. The potential inclusion of these advanced mixing tools could make Spotify a more attractive option for music enthusiasts who enjoy creating and customizing their own mixes. The rumored Music Pro premium tier is anticipated to bring additional high-quality audio features, appealing to audiophiles and serious music fans.
Spotify is tipped to be working on a new feature that will allow users to remix their playlists with “advanced mixing tools”. The mixing tools could allow users to add different transition styles, as well as sequence tracks with a similar key, tempo, and style together. These features could be part of the company’s rumoured Music Pro premium plan whose main attraction is said to be lossless music offering. Notably, last week the music streaming giant released a new AI feature that will allow users to create personalised playlists by just entering text prompts.
The information about the new mixing tools comes from a Threads post by tipster Chris Messina (via TechCrunch), who found strings of codes in the latest beta version that reveal what these supposed mixing tools can do. Based on the screenshots shared by Messina, the feature will allow users to “Flex your DJ skills with different transition styles to create the ultimate mix.”
But it is not just transition styles which will be offered, as per the tipster. Other code samples state, “Automatically reorders your mix by sequencing tracks with a similar key, tempo, and style together.” This feature could potentially allow users to fine-tune the entire playlist without much effort. Mentions of “advanced mixing tools” were also spotted, suggesting users could also get granular control on DJ-like features to manipulate tracks with beats and more. Potentially users could also speed up tracks, also known as nightcore songs, which have become popular in recent years.
