custom playlists

Spotify routinely debuts new playlist features for its users, but the
company's latest update has the potential to dramatically alter custom mixes.
Starting today, premium users will have access to a new tool for creating
customized transitions within playlists. This will allow seamless progression
from one track to the next, with natural-sounding changeovers and no awkward
silence.

Once you've created a playlist, you'll notice a Mix option on the toolbar.
When selected, the tool gives you the option to pick Auto and allow Spotify
to instantly make the transitions, or you can tap in further to customize
things as you see fit. From there, you can choose presets like Fade or Rise
to quickly apply transition styles or try specific changes to volume, EQ and
effects. The app will display a waveform for the two songs, helping you
select the best place to make the swap.

After making your transitions, you can save them for future use or for
sharing with friends. And speaking of friends, the transition editor is
available for collaboration on any playlists you build with your pals.
Spotify allows you to toggle the Mix option on and off at any time, so you're
free to listen without any of that creative customization if needed.

To help you create a playlist that's ready for mixing, Spotify will show you
the tempo in BPMs (beats per minute) and Camelot keys for each song once you
tap Mix. The company reminds users that the best options for this tool are
songs that were created for seamless transitions, so genres like house and
techno will provide the best results. Spotify also recommends using the Mix
tool for making running playlists with consistent BPMs to help with pace or
to create roadtrip playlists that can maintain "the vibe." Lastly, you can
create your own cover art for mixed playlists using Spotify's built-in editor
that debuted last fall.
