Not only one of the best streaming music catalogs, but it is also the most popular and most used musical application: Spotify aúna 678 million users. And the premium has an AI which does very well of DJ: DJ livi in Spanish and DJ X in English. With unidirectional operation, he now admits requests. Like the DJ of any part.
With AI fever, it has conquered a good part of the land, including applications. And Spotify is not a stranger: in addition to using AI in his research and recommendations for many years, the application has a DJ powered by artificial intelligence. Talk, choose songs and finally we can ask them.
Spotify is more logical to pay the premium
DJ IA listening to a request
Who has not approached the party DJ to ask for a specific song or found a theme to congratulate another person? Well, Spotify transfers the functioning of the real world to the virtual, because its DJ has been renewed with new interactions. Yes indeed, Right now in English.
So far, the DJ with AI has had a brief operation. It was limited to selecting songs according to user tastes and according to the categories, Five themes per block. That the selection was not adequate? Spotify allowed a single interaction: click on the DJ icon to go to the next category. With the improvement, a new gesture is introduced: stay down on the aforementioned icon.
As Spotify explained, the DJ with IA has the requests so that the experience with mixtures is much more personalized. Yes indeed, There is no apparent change in the applicationYou have to do the following to try it:
- Open the Spotify application on your mobile. You must be premium so that the DJ function appears.
- Go to the starting section and keep the DJ icon, the blue square with the green inner circle.
- Give “DJ Language” and choose English, which corresponds to DJ X. DJ Livi, the Spanish version, does not yet have voice recognition.
- With the DJ in English, you can already ask. He begins a session and, in the Spotify reproduction area, will hold on the round blue icon.
- If this is the first time that you have used the function You must give an authorization for a spotify microphone.
- The screen will become completely blue and your mobile will start to listen to. Ask what you want with natural language. An artist, a song, a personalized mix …
- The DJ will interpret the request and create a selection according to it.
- The mixtures of a petition do not have five songs per block: AI build a list without interruptions.
- You can talk to the DJ in Spanish: According to our tests, language identification is adequate. Of course, the voice will continue to speak in English (DJ X, no DJ Livi).
The pistol of good quality lists and with a precise reference on the petition: it was a function that was missed in Spotify, because the DJ with IA was very limited. I still need improvements, this could work as an agent and create / record reproductive lists from concrete instructions, but for that, you have to wait. This is now a good step forward for one of the best functions of Spotify Premium.
