Spotify launches new kind of playlist that changes as per your mood

Music streaming giant Spotify launched a new kind of playlist called 'day list' that changes as per users' moods or feelings. The day list updates throughout the day based on users' past listening habits. The daylist tool is available to both free and premium users across the US, Canada, the UK, Australia, New Zealand, and Ireland. "This new, one of a kind playlist on Spotify ebbs and flows with unique vibes, bringing together the niche music and microgenres you usually listen to during particular moments in the day or on specific days of the week. It updates frequently between sunup and sundown with a series of highly specific playlists made for every version of you," Spotify said in a blog post.

Moreover, the company said that users will get new tracks at every update, plus a new title that sets the mood of their daylist. "With relatable titles including thrill wave, happy dance, pumpkin spice, and more, the playlist helps you understand more about your taste in music and express your unique audio identity," Spotify said. Users can also find day list on mobile in the Made For You hub. On the desktop and web, simply search 'daylist' to bring up your playlist.

The company further mentioned that day list updates multiple times a day, and users can view when their next update will be from the playlist page on mobile. Meanwhile, in a bid to woo more users to sign up for its paid services, Spotify is testing to make in app lyrics a premium-only feature. Several Spotify users noticed that in-app lyrics, which pop up under the playing song, were locked away under a paywall. Instead, they saw only a notification bubble saying, “Enjoy lyrics on Spotify Premium,” with a link to sign up. Spotify told The Verge the feature is currently in a testing phase.
