Time will tell if Spotify’s use case faces similar struggles.)Īs listeners engage with the new DJ feature, they’ll be presented with a personalized stream of songs that will include both newer tracks and old favorites. (Accuracy is perhaps a key word here, given Bing and Google’s recent AI failures. The technology is being put to use to create “culturally relevant, accurate pieces of commentary at scale,” the company says. Instead, Spotify says it provided its music editors, experts, scriptwriters and data curators with access to OpenAI’s Generative AI tech in order to scale their insights about music, artists and genres. (Spotify tells us it has a business relationship with OpenAI, but did not refer to the company as a partner.) In this case, the company says its new DJ feature is a combination of its existing personalization technology, an AI voice from its 2022 Sonantic acquisition, and Generative AI through the use of OpenAI technology. With the wider technology market now focused on new ways to leverage AI advances, it was only a matter of time before Spotify rolled out its own take on how modern AI could be used to improve its personalization experience. In more recent years, Spotify has also become a trendsetter with its personalized annual review, Spotify Wrapped, which has since been copycatted by its rivals. This was then followed by a number of other playlists designed to cater to the end user’s unique preferences, including Release Radar, Daily Mixes, Your Time Capsule, Blend and those aimed at specific activities, like commuting or working out, among other things. and Canada for the time being.įor years, Spotify has led the market with its personalization technology, launching its flagship playlist Discover Weekly back in 2015 to immediate success.

Or, as Spotify says, it’s putting an “AI DJ in your pocket.” The idea, explains the company, is for Spotify to get to know users so well that the DJ can choose what to play for you when you hit the button. Similar to a radio DJ, Spotify’s DJ feature will deliver a curated selection of music alongside AI-powered spoken commentary about the tracks and artists you like, using what Spotify says is a “stunningly realistic voice.” If you like any then explore Spotify around those artists, or ask me I'll see if I can find some more like.Ahead of Spotify’s upcoming Stream On event, where the company is expected to announce a redesigned home feed and other updates, the company today launched a new AI feature called “DJ” to better personalize the music listening experience for its users.

Nils Frahm - Screws Minimalist piano-based ambient. A bit on the electronic side - you might not like this.
I'm cheating here as it is actually Choral - no instruments at all! But the way it is used here, the voice is an instrument. Sibelius 2nd Symphony Great performance of a sublime piece.Įric Whitacre - Choral Works vol.1 - A modern composer. Jon Hopkins - Insides Ambient, rhythmic soundscape. This isn't a "best of" just a fairly random pick.Īvishai Cohen - Continuo mindblowing double bass-driven Jazz album So many things I could recommend but I'll just pick a few things I'm listening to lately. Well "instrumental" covers so many things - soundtracks, symphonies, ambient, jazz.
