If you’ve ever felt frustrated by Spotify ‘s algorithm recommending songs that don’t match your taste, there’s some good news. The streaming giant is finally giving you a way to take control of its algorithm. The company is testing a new feature called Prompted Playlists, which lets “you describe exactly what you want to hear and set the rules for your personalized playlist.”
Spotify says this new feature taps into your entire listening history, all the way back to when you first started using the service, to curate a personalized playlist based on your prompt and listening patterns. This is a significant shift away from auto-generated Spotify playlists, like Discover Weekly, which rely on the service’s algorithm to guess what you might like. Recommended Videos
