Starting tomorrow, all free and premium Spotify users will access three new personalized mixes inspired by Daily Mix. The music streaming service already creates custom Daily Mixes for you by combining your favorite tracks with music it thinks you’ll love. These new mix categories still start with music you’ve listened to and will be updated with songs chosen by the service’s algorithms. However, they have more precise names, and the group tracks into playlists based on artist, genre, and decade.
If you’re particularly fond of 90s boy bands, for instance, Spotify will create a 90s Mix for you. Lady Gaga fan? You’ll see a Lady Gaga mix, as well. If you’re in the mood to listen to a variety of artists, you can access one of the genre mixes (say, Pop Mix or R&B Mix) in your list. Spotify says the mixes will be frequently updated and comprised of several playlists — to listen to one, go to Search in the “Made For You” hub.
Spotify recently made it easier to create your playlists, as well, in case you’d rather listen to your mix. It updated its desktop and web apps to match the feel of its mobile app, adding new controls that allow you to use an integrated search bar to look up songs and podcasts. You can also write descriptions, upload images, and drag and drop tracks into existing playlists within the desktop and web apps.
