Ryan Haines / Android Authority I love Spotify. I’ve said it before, and I’ve been paying for some form of Spotify Premium for nearly a decade. It’s gotten to the point that I know where every last button, menu, and playlist lives, so I can navigate my favorite songs without looking down at my phone. When I head out to run with music, I feel safe enough knowing that I can bounce from playlist to playlist without taking my eyes off traffic. Or, at least, I could do it until Spotify decided to ge

Ryan Haines / Android Authority Spotify has been experimenting with AI in some form since 2023, when it first debuted its personalized DJ. In the early days, I felt the DJ was pretty rough. Sure, it would sometimes provide me with new bangers in the style I liked or play some old yet beloved song I hadn’t thought about in decades, but the biggest issue was the lack of real customization. This improved significantly in 2024 with the introduction of AI playlists, but it’s been a slow journey. Si
