"Spotify is giving users more ways to personalize what they hear. The company is launching a new feature that allows users to filter their library by specific activities, moods, or genres. These filters can also be used to find playlists, or, to some extent, audio books and podcasts, and can even kick off a new session on Spotify's AI DJ."
"Despite these changes, some users are finding Spotify's interface is becoming too crowded, especially as the company wades into social networking territory by adding messages, comments on podcasts, polls, Q&As, stories, and a design that feels more like TikTok or YouTube following the introduction of music videos and video podcasts within the app. The company has often faced complaints about an overly busy user interface, and the continual addition of new features has left some users feeling frustrated and overwhelmed."
Smart filters let users filter their Spotify library by activities, moods, or genres and can find playlists, audiobooks, podcasts, and start AI DJ sessions. The filters are rolling out to Premium subscribers on mobile and tablet in select markets including the U.S., U.K., Australia, Canada, Ireland, New Zealand, and South Africa, with completion expected within weeks. Spotify has released multiple personalization and playlist management tools recently, including AI-driven playlist creation, custom cover art, AI DJ interactions, and updates to Discover Weekly. Some users report the interface is increasingly crowded due to social features, videos, and new interaction tools, causing frustration and increased likelihood that users will leave.
