Spotify’s New Smart Playlist Trusts Your Friends’ Taste In Music

Read Time:2 Minute, 9 Second

Spotify makes it easy to get music recommendations from friends without really asking for it, thanks to a new feature called Friends Mix. This is a new playlist created by Spotify algorithms that will be filled by songs based on the habit of listening to your friends who are also connected to the streaming platform. The aim is to make a list of tracks that continue to be refreshing based on shared interest in music.

A mixture of a friend’s playlist will appear in Hub Made For You, right next to the Blend button. The position of these two features next to each other is not a coincidence, because you need to make a mixture before the Play the Friends Mix appear for you. Spotify says you need to make at least three mixtures before you can access the Friends Mix collection.

If you have never used a mixture before, this is a feature that allows two users to make a playlist together. Blends update every day based on the pattern of listening to the participants, and is available for free platform users and pay. Interestingly, Spotify’s press release notes that the Friends Mix feature is only available for iOS and desktop, but there is no word when it will appear for the Android application.

How to get a mixture of your own friends in Spotify?

You need to make at least three mixtures before the Mix Friends playlist drove to your music center at Spotify. Here’s the way you do it:

1, Open the Spotify application (cellular or desktop)
2, Enter “Blend” in the search field at the top.
3, You will see the mixed results under the search box. Click or tap on it to land on the invitation page.
4, Click or tap the invitation button in the form of a pill.
5, Share with friends via SMS, email, or social media.

After your friend accepts the invitation, Spotify will automatically make a playlist together based on the taste of listening to everyone. Repeat the process until you have made three mixtures. As soon as that happens, you will see a list of friends with friends mix appearing in Hub Made For You.

Just like a mixture, Spotify said the list of friends of Friends Mix will also be updated every day, ensuring that you continue to find fresh music based on the pattern of listening to dynamic music from your friend’s circle. And like Blend, you don’t need a premium subscription to get a friend of the Friends Mix play because it is available for all Spotify users.
