Spotify has introduced a new premium feature called 'Mix With Spotify' that allows users to create custom transitions between songs in their playlists, enhancing the listening experience with DJ-like playlist mixing. This feature enables listeners to either turn on automatic transitions or manually design their own mixes, giving users greater control over how songs flow within playlists. The update aims to boost the value of Spotify Premium and increase user engagement. Spotify's move precedes a similar feature, AutoMix, set to launch with Apple's iOS 26 update on Apple Music. The new playlist transitions build on Spotify's extensive playlist ecosystem, which includes nearly 9 billion user-generated playlists. Additionally, Spotify's innovation has influenced competitors such as YouTube Music, which is introducing features like shared playlists and real-time song sharing on Instagram notes.
