9to5mac.com Chance Miller 2025-11-18 11:27:00

One of my favorite features in iOS 26 is AutoMix for Apple Music, which uses artificial intelligence to create DJ-like transitions between songs. Ahead of iOS 26 being released to everyone next month, Spotify is looking to steal some of Apple Music’s thunder with its own new spin on creating unique transitions between songs. In a blog post, Spotify explains that the feature allows users to create unique transitions between playlist songs by customizing things like volume, EQ, and effect curves
