Spotify subscribers in seven English-speaking regions are getting a new way to filter their content, based on activity, genre, or mood. Here are the details.
According to the company’s blog, For the Record, Smart Filters began rolling out last week, and will be accessible via mobile and tablets to Premium subscribers in Australia, Canada, Ireland, New Zealand, South Africa, the UK, and the US.
With Smart Filters, users can sort their songs based on mood (e.g., Funky, Relaxing, Solitude), activity (e.g., Party, Yoga, Dinner), or genre (e.g., Smooth, Downtempo, Jazz hop-hop). The filters are available across all types of content, from playlists to podcasts to audiobooks.
Here’s Spotify’s official description of how to access the new feature:
Tap the filter icon in the top left of Your Library.
The Smart Filters menu will appear with options tailored to your saved content, organized by activity, mood, or genre.
Select a filter, and Your Library will update to match your choice.
Alongside Smart Filters, Spotify highlighted other personalization tools, such as snoozing tracks for 30 days, creating custom cover art, and hiding songs you don’t want to hear.
