Recently, Spotify updated its AI DJ feature, allowing users to use voice commands to change the atmosphere or play specific artists and genres.
In the past, Spotify's AI DJ could only play songs automatically and insert commentary between some tracks. Now, it has become truly "interactive" : you can tell it the style and artist you want to listen to, and even change the atmosphere of the entire playlist with just one sentence.
What is the Spotify AI DJ voice command function?
This is the latest upgrade of Spotify's AI DJ function , which allows users to talk directly to AI through voice and customize the playback content. Different from traditional automatic recommendations or manual on-demand, it combines AI personalized recommendations and voice interactive experience to make music understand you better.
Feature highlights:
Just speak and listen : Tell us the style, singer, mood or scene you want to listen to, and AI will generate recommendations immediately
More personalized and free : no longer restricted by algorithm recommendations or manual song searches
Emotion-driven music journey : supports "life-like" and "movie-like" contextual instructions
Currently only supports English voice, suitable for Spotify Premium subscribers .
What exactly does this update bring?
Originally, Spotify's AI DJ function automatically generated playlists based on your usual listening history and changed songs when you clicked the "DJ" button, and users had almost no way to interfere with its selection.
But starting today, Spotify Premium users can use English voice commands to:
Choose the genre or mood you want to listen to
Request a specific artist or genre
Request AI to create an auditory atmosphere like "movie soundtrack"
Request "Some Indie music I haven't heard of"
This is not just about "changing songs", but it completely opens up a new mode of conversational interaction with AI DJ !
