Amazon Music launches AI-powered weekly playlists based on 'preferences and mood'

engadget.com Unknown 2025-10-11 15:42:39

Amazon Music has just launched new AI-powered weekly playlists based on the "preferences and mood" of listeners. This just means it scrapes what you've already been listening to and extrapolates further. It doesn't apply modern technology to gauge the actual mood of users. The company says the playlists include "a curated mix of familiar favorites from their most listened-to artists and latest favorites to new discoveries."
