Spotify’s Next Update Brings Videos, Podcasts, Smart Playlists, and More
Spotify announced today that podcasts, video content, and playlists tailored to your mood are coming in the next major update. Here’s everything you need to know.
A new service on Spotify, simply called Now, will create playlists for you based on your musical tastes, demographics and time of day. Spotify will automatically try to create the perfect playlist for your early morning, commuting, workday, and even before bed. Anything from music to podcasts to video clips can appear here. The incoming video content will be clips from the show from a wide variety of partners including Comedy Central, ABC, BBC, ESPN, NBC and TED. Nerdist News will air on Spotify three hours earlier.
Finally, Spotify announced a new feature for those who love listening to music while running or exercising. The Spotify app will now use your phone’s accelerometer to find music that matches your pace so you can keep your running running. Spotify has also created personalized workout music that can play at different tempo and “magically tune” based on your workout. The update starts rolling out in the US, UK, Germany and Sweden from today and will continue over the next few weeks.
