Spotify has rolled out three new personalized mixes inspired by its Daily Mix. The feature is available for both free and premium users. In Daily Mix, the music streaming service creates custom mixes for users by combining their favorite tracks with music it thinks they will love. The new mix categories will initially feature the music a user has been listening to and then afterward the songs will be updated with songs chosen by the app’s algorithm.
The new personalized mixes are labeled as Decade Mix, Genre Mix, and Artist Mix. According to the official post by Spotify, the streaming service wants to improve and iterate its products to offer the best possible audio experience for its listeners.
