- Spotify has announced new application features, including a “snooze” button
- This allows you to prohibit a track of your recommendations for 30 days
- He, with other new features, is tested with premium users
Spotify was busy making small adjustments to its mobile application, as finally giving you the possibility of deactivating its Smart Shuffle functionality – and it has just announced several others, including a potential addition of Godosend called ’30 -Day Snooze ‘.
Although Spotify’s musical algorithm is one of the things that kept me with the musical streaming service for more than a decade, it has also exasperating dead angles, as continuously recommending the same song through automated reading lists like Discover Weekly or Smart Shuffle.
The new ’30 -Day Snooze ‘button is designed to solve this problem, allowing you to temporarily delete a track from your recommendations (without completely eradicating it from your musical life). Unfortunately, Spotify “begins to test this only for premium users”, but says that it “plans to bring it soon to more listeners”.
The 30 -day snooze will be a bonus option among the songs you have chosen to hide ” of reading lists – this is done by pressing the three points next to a song and striking “ hide in this reading list ”. The “Snooze” feature will give you an option “Do not suggest this song anywhere for 30 days”, which will apply to all personalized reading lists.
If the functionality has not yet been deployed, Spotify has expelled other new adjustments to keep you happy while you wait. The queue button (the three lines at the bottom right of the “now in game” view) now gives you practical shortcuts to reshape, Smart Shuffle, Repeat and Sleep Timer.
In an adjustment linked to the nap at 30 days, Spotify will also show you the recommended songs that he plans to play at the end of your queue, so that you can eject the unwanted in advance. Spotify’s “Hide” button is also more powerful – when you press, the song will be hidden from this reading list on all your devices, not only the one you listen to.
Algorithm
These changes are a spotify admission that his algorithms do not always get everything, and I can certainly be used a 30 -day nap when he finally reaches my premium account.
For any reason, Spotify has constantly recommended your Tengo ‘Fall sweater ‘ Through all my automated reading lists. Although it is the least offensive song ever engaged in recorded music, the opening drums now do me in a sweet rage, even if it is a perfectly pleasant song.
This is my main candidate for a nap of 30 days, and other members of the Techradar team submitted with enthusiasm theirs, including the MK.GEE ‘Are you looking for“After an unfortunate incident where the shared playlist of our team was co -opted remotely by the son of our cameras editor.
Another new feature that I will probably use to escape the algorithm is an adjustment of “loved songs”. It is now possible to use it to build reading lists: press a genre in the playlist “ aved songs ”, and you will now see a new playlist option “Make Tht A Play.
We still cannot have Spotify Hifi (will it never happen?), While price increases and optional additional modules are apparently on cards-but at least Spotify always brings small free improvements to save us persistent ear worms.
