Spotify has rolled out a new audio mixing tool for playlists in beta for Premium subscribers, aiming to upgrade users’ experience with customizable transitions between songs. The feature, dubbed “Mix,” allows users to create seamless blends by tapping the ‘Mix’ button in the filter toolbar.
With the Mix tool, users can customize transition presets like ‘Melt’ and ‘Wave’ or create their own using volume, EQ, and effect curves functions. Unlike Apple Music’s AutoMix, which relies on automated transitions, Spotify’s version gives users direct control over their playlists.
In testing both features, I found that Spotify’s Mix tool stands out more. The feature is suitable for a variety of playlist types, including those designed for parties and social gatherings. However, it may not be ideal for longer playlists or those requiring precise timing adjustments.
The Mix tool has the potential to become one of Spotify’s best features, offering users greater creative freedom in their playlist curation and soundtracking. With its versatility and professional-grade interface, Spotify is poised to revolutionize the way users create and manage their playlists.
