Spotify just turned your phone into a DJ booth
Briefly

Spotify released a beta Mix mode for Premium subscribers that adds a Mix button above playlist track lists to toggle automatic or manual transitions. The feature offers auto-transitions and manual mixing with presets such as Fade and Rise plus controls for volume, EQ, and effects. The interface displays each song's key and beats per minute alongside visualized waveform and beat data to simplify track ordering and transition points. Spotify recommends matching tempos and keys, considering playlist energy, and starting with transition-friendly genres like house and techno. Mix playlists can be shared, collaborated on, and receive exclusive stickers and labels.
Spotify released the beta version of a new "Mix" mode for its Premium subscriber tier Tuesday. The feature shows up as a "Mix" button above a playlist track list that can be toggled on or off. Listeners can either opt-in to auto-transitions between songs, or they can mix their own transitions instead with pre-set options like "Fade" or "Rise," and settings for volume, EQ, and effects.
Spotify's new feature comes two months after Apple Music announced its own "AutoMix" option for a seamlessly mixed listening experience. Spotify takes the idea of automatic mixing and makes it customizable and shareable with the ability to swap and collaborate on playlists. There's also exclusive stickers and labels for custom playlist cover art that can only be used with mixed Spotify playlists.
