Spotify Update Brings Playlist Sorting, DJ Song Requests and More Handy Features

0

Highlights

  • Spotify’s AI-powered DJ can now take song requests via voice commands for users to have a more personalised experience.
  • New playlist management tools let users sort by title, artist, album or Recently Added.
  • The app also reintroduces auto-play recommended songs, adds a 30-day Snooze button and tests a cover art generator in beta.

Spotify is rolling out a fresh update that brings some helpful changes to the app, especially for Premium users. The AI-powered DJ feature is getting smarter and playlists are now easier to manage with new sorting options.

Spotify DJ Can Now Take Song Requests

Spotify’s AI DJ is becoming more like a real DJ.

In a recent post, Spotify shared that the DJ can now handle “requests” from users, whether it’s a specific song or a new style of music. This makes the DJ feel more interactive, as it responds better to what you’re in the mood for.

Spotify explains, “By simply using your voice, you can now ask DJ to update your personalized listening session based on the music you want to hear at that moment, whether you’re looking for something to set the mood for date night or need some high-energy tracks to get you hyped for a party.”

“DJ can handle a combination of genre, mood, artist, or activity-related requests. For example, you could try, “Surprise me with some indie tracks I’ve never heard before,” or “Give me some electronic beats for a midday run.” You could even request something like, “Play me some cry-in-the-car songs,” the company added.

It’s a nice improvement, especially if you’re someone who already uses the DJ feature regularly.

Spotify Playlist Sorting and UI Tweaks

Some of the most useful changes are to the overall app experience. Spotify has redesigned the “Now Playing” screen for Premium users. It now makes it easier to access options like Shuffle, Smart Shuffle, and Sleep Timer.

Also returning is the old feature where Spotify automatically plays recommended songs after your queue ends, something users have missed.

There’s also a new “30-day Snooze” option alongside the existing “Hide” button. This lets you stop hearing a song for a while without removing it completely.

Managing playlists is getting easier too. You can now sort playlists by title, artist, album, or “Recently Added.” This works on both mobile and desktop apps, which is a big plus if you keep a lot of music in just a few big playlists. On mobile, there’s also a new “Add” button with music suggestions.

“We’re introducing new mobile playlist management tools that will help you customize your creations. Now, at the top of all your playlists, you’ll find easy access to Add, Sort, and Edit to build your track list, change your playlist title, create custom cover art, and perfectly sequence each song,” the company said.

Spotify is also testing a cover art generator (currently in beta) and adding new collaboration features, though full details on those are still under wraps.

All these updates are rolling out now, so you should see them soon if you haven’t already.

FAQs

Q1. How does Spotify’s AI DJ handle song requests?

Answer. Spotify’s AI DJ can now take song requests via voice commands, allowing users to request specific genres, moods, artists, or activities for a personalized listening experience.

Q2. What new playlist management features has Spotify introduced?

Answer. Spotify now allows users to sort playlists by title, artist, album, or “Recently Added.” A new “Add” button on mobile provides song suggestions, and Premium users get an improved “Now Playing” screen with easy access to Shuffle, Smart Shuffle, and Sleep Timer.

Q3. What other features are included in the latest update?

Answer. Spotify has reintroduced auto-play recommended songs after a queue ends, added a 30-day Snooze button to temporarily hide songs, and is testing a cover art generator (currently in beta).

Nothing is stepping into flagship territory with the upcoming Nothing Phone (3) and CEO Carl Pei has now revealed some interesting cues about the upcoming phones including its price.

This time, Nothing is aiming straight for the premium segment. Carl teased “premium materials,” which could mean a titanium frame or high-end glass alongside “major performance upgrades.”

Rumours suggest it could run on either the Snapdragon 8 Elite or a top-tier MediaTek Dimensity chip like the Dimensity 9400 or 9400+.

The Phone (3) will follow the launch of the mid-range Phone (3a) and (3a) Pro, which came out in March 2025. Now, with a clear focus on flagship features, high-end performance, and a significant price increase, the big question is whether the premium materials and AI-driven features can justify the higher cost.

Answer. The Phone (3) is designed as a premium flagship with high-end materials, possibly including a titanium frame.

Rumours suggest a customisable Action Button, a 6.5-inch AMOLED display, and a Pro model with a larger 6.7-inch screen. The device will run Nothing OS 3.0 based on Android 15, incorporating deep AI integration for a more personalised experience.
