Spotify is still testing Prompted Playlist in beta. However, the music streaming platform is now not only making a music playlist, but also content that includes podcasts.
The intelligent algorithm-based feature allows users to create a podcast playlist automatically through a short text command. Spotify said that this feature is only available for Premium users.
This new ability is still in beta and is only available in English in the US, Canada, and Australia. Users can use the feature to delve into a specific topic or search for new events that match their mood.
The algorithm of this feature system works by combining the user's listening history and global trends on the platform. With this combination, the generated playlist will feel personal, but still relevant to what is popular.
Spotify's Global Podcast Editorial Head, Lizzy Hale, said that this feature is designed to make content discovery easier. For creators, this is a great opportunity to introduce old and new episodes to a wider audience.
Flexibility is the main advantage because users can edit text commands or start from scratch at any time. The playlist can also be set to update automatically every day or every week.
Each episode that enters the playlist will be accompanied by a brief note regarding the reason for its selection. This explanation helps listeners understand the relationship between one topic and another in the order of the show.
To make it easier for users who are confused in getting started, Spotify provides a list of curated playlists designed by experts. In addition, there are ready-made text command suggestions that can be used to explore new ideas.
The English, Chinese, Japanese, Arabic, and French versions are automatically generated by the AI. So there may still be inaccuracies in translating, please always see Indonesian as our main language. (system supported by DigitalSiber.id)
