Spotify now allows users to use the new Messages feature to share music, podcasts, and audiobooks with friends.

According to the platform, the tool is available on mobile devices and “will be rolling out to select markets.” In any case, you won’t need to leave the app to send these messages to friends and share the desired content.

The app has indicated that from DMs, you can “share songs, podcast episodes, and audiobooks directly from the Now Playing view.” In addition to those audio links, messaging supports text and emoji reactions, so it’s not just a button to send a link: the idea is to have short conversations about what you’re listening to.”

Content received via messaging is saved in a Messages inbox within the user profile so that users can “find recommendations again without having to search for them in their history on external apps.”

Spotify has clarified that the feature is not exclusive to Premium customers, so it is also available for Free accounts on the mobile version, although the rollout will be gradual and limited by country in this initial phase.

Sharing content easily and securely

The tool works similarly to other platforms and social networks: just go to the “share” icon on the playback screen and select who you want to send the content to. You can also start a conversation with people “who are on your Family or Duo plan, or with whom you’ve made Jams, Blends, or collaborative playlists.”

The request can be accepted or rejected; you can also block a user or disable Messages. The platform emphasized security above all else, with end-to-end encryption and proactive scanning for illicit or harmful content, in addition to addressing user reports.

Spotify advances the use of artificial intelligence and improves its personal DJ Livi based on algorithms that select music playback based on user preferences.

The AI ​​DJ feature used advanced “machine learning and natural language processing” models.

Among its functions is suggesting songs and serving as a guide to the listener in the streaming experience, thanks to the fact that it can “learn and adapt to your tastes in real time. Thus, as users interact with the platform, Livi analyzes their preferences and listening behaviors, adjusting its recommendations to offer an increasingly personalized experience.”

A price increase in the Spotify streaming platform service is imminent. This has been leaked by company contacts to Bloomberg, where there is also talk that it will offer a new plan and content.

The changes apparently relate to audiobooks, which Spotify “added for free last year in some countries, although not Spain.” Audiobooks represent a high cost for the platform, which would justify the increase in price.

Regarding the cost after the increase, it has been speculated that the Swedish platform “is going to increase the price of all its plans between 1 and 2 euros per month, depending on the plan.” The new, lower-cost plan will not include audiobooks.

According to data provided to Bloomberg, the price increase will take place this April in the United Kingdom, Australia, Pakistan, and two other countries. It will spread to the rest of the world throughout the year.

The digital music platform Spotify indicated that as of January 1, 2024, it will begin the gradual cessation of its operations in Uruguay, a process that will definitively culminate in February.

The decision is based on changes to copyright law, included in the recent Accountability, which will affect dozens of artists and fans.

At the time, the platform argued that the content of said articles was ambiguous and confusing, and added that due to such regulations, Spotify would be forced to pay twice for the same music.

Regarding articles 36 and 39 of Law 9,739, these indicate that the interpreter of a literary or musical work “has the right to demand remuneration for its interpretation broadcast or retransmitted through radiotelephony, television, the Internet or digital networks. of any kind, or recorded or printed on disk, film, tape, thread or any other substance, medium or body suitable for sound or visual reproduction.

Music is one of the forms of entertainment best enjoyed by music lovers. Spotify seeks to improve the experience through a function, in test, that allows you to store songs of recent enjoyment to play them when you do not have Internet.

The CEO of the streaming platform, Daniel Ek, recently shared a screenshot to show the playlist of almost four hours when the connection is weak.

According to the portal 20minutos, this application “already allows users to download playlists or albums and listen to them without the Internet. It is something very useful for when you are traveling by plane, you take the metro, simply that you cannot have access to a network or that you want to save data at specific moments when listening to music”.

Despite the fact that for some users the experience could be somewhat boring, since there would be no changes in the playlist, it is an interesting new functionality, particularly in cases of not having a network connection.

La entrada Spotify tests function to listen to music offline apareció primero en Bitfinance.

Spotify reported on a new feature in testing that will automatically create a playlist titled ‘Your offline mix’, for occasions when the user does not have Internet access, and that will include the songs that have been played. recently.

The streaming music playback platform already has a function that allows you to download songs and even complete playlists, so you can listen to them without the need for an Internet connection.

However, these downloads are done manually, selecting the desired songs or ‘playlist’. In addition, it must be done prior to disconnecting the device, since the use of a connection is necessary for the download.

This playlist will store a mix of songs that the user has recently played and, as the name implies, will be available to play in case of not having an Internet connection.

The Spotify music platform announced the removal of thousands of songs generated with Artificial Intelligence from its play list.

Although this technology has opened the doors to endless uses in different sectors of daily life, particularly in the arts sector, it poses conflicts with copyright.

Spotify focuses on this legal aspect, and hence the recent decision to remove thousands of AI-generated songs. The number of themes represents approximately 7 % of its current play list.

The platform is not the only one concerned about the use of applications that promise to create songs easily, without having musical training. Record companies are also on the alert because the AI ​​apps they use are training their algorithms to create music based on copyrighted tracks.

Currently, anyone who wishes can ask an AI application to create a painting, a book, or a sculpture, without the applicant actually being an artist. And the result will be according to the user’s specifications. In this regard, personalities from the technological world pose a brake on the speed of the development of AI and its impact on society.

Spotify announced the closure of its live music application Spotify Live because it considers that it “does not make sense as a standalone application” of the streaming music and podcast platform.

The company launched Spotify Live after renaming Greenroom in April 2022. Until then, this other one worked as a standalone application that allowed you to join live conversations about sports, music or culture and did not require an account in the streaming music service. .

Spotify Live, on the other hand, was not only available as a standalone application, but also within the start menu of the music streaming platform’s own application. So, this renowned app kept the functions of Greenroom and added new exclusive content.

The company has now decided to cancel this application, “after a period of experimentation and learning about how Spotify users interact with live audio“, as confirmed to Music Ally initially.

“We believe there is a future for live interactions between fans and creators in the Spotify ecosystem, however, based on our experience, it no longer makes sense as a standalone application,” the company said.

However, the company has also announced that it has seen “promising results” in the case of ‘listening parties’, that is, listening sessions with creators, and that it will continue to “explore to facilitate live interactions between artists and fans”.
