Spotify has updated the desktop app with plenty of visual improvements and new features, like a “now playing” view that gives you immediate access to merchandise and tour dates.

    Great to see some improvements. Hopefully it doesn’t overly clutter the UI. On a side note, has anyone found the new AI DJ useful? Mine keeps playing k-pop even though I rarely if ever listen to k-pop. I’ve found myself just going back to daily mix 1.

      I have found no substantial difference between the DJ and the Daily Mix playlists. They both just play way too much of the exact same songs that Spotify has pushed at me for years.

      I’m loving the DJ! It does go off the rails a bit if you leave it on too long

      I listen to a lot of different genres but I’m bad at sorting them so they’re all just in a massiv playlist. The DJ plays them in little batches of similar genres which flows a lot better than the random shuffle

      I like it. I find the daily mixes to be a bit sonically themed. The AI DJ jumps all over the place, so there’s a hard cut, then something completely new.

      It works better than randomizing on a playlist because the algorithm, at least for me, tends to pick sonically themed songs, so I know if it starts on an upbeat song, most of what I listen to will be upbeat, if it hits a ballad first, it’ll mostly be ballads/mellow.
