However, lowers scores open more opportunities for discovering new music that you might like.Īnother cool Blend feature is that once the playlist is created, it updates daily based on what the two users stream. In general, the higher the compatibility, the more songs on the list you will like. Conversely, when I blended with my wife, our score was only 67 percent. For example, when creating a list with a colleague who I knew shared similar musical interests, we scored 90-percent compatibility. The compatibility score is listed as a percentage of how much the partnered users' tastes overlap. With the newly created playlist open, users can tap a button at the top of the list to view their compatibility score and "the song that brings" them together (below). For this reason, developers added another feature to Blend before it exited beta. Sometimes you will share many musical tastes with a friend, and other times not so much. It then makes a list combining the two preferences. It analyzes each person's musical tastes based on the music they stream the most.

Blend's primary function is to create a collaborative playlist between two friends instantly. It has been in beta testing since June, but is now rolling out globally to all free and premium users. On Tuesday, Spotify announced a new feature called Blend. Now, the music streaming app has a feature that can create these types of playlists instantly. However, the process is manual and takes some time to build a soundtrack. If you haven’t made a Blend playlist yet, you do so by typing "Blend" within the "Search" tab and then inviting the people you want to take part.In context: Spotify has long had a collaborative playlist function that lets two (or more) users add their favorite songs to a shared collection. In that case, it's partly a showcase of the artist's latest music, but it's still fun to see where you overlap.Īs with Blend playlists you create with your friends, Spotify will generate a story you can share on Instagram, Twitter and other social media platforms to show off how close you are two are on your favorite tunes.

Additionally, you can now also create Blend playlists with select artists, including BTS, Diplo, Mimi Webb and others. Starting today, you can create a Blend playlist with up to 10 people, with Spotify taking into consideration all your disparate music tastes at the same time. One limitation of the feature was that you could only create a Blend playlist with a single friend or family member at a time. It also provides a match score and updates the playlist daily, allowing you to see how your tastes change over time. After inviting another Spotify user to take part, the platform generates a shared playlist that pulls songs from both your libraries. Last Summer, Spotify introduced Blend, a fun feature that allows you and a friend to compare your musical tastes.
