Spotify has rolled out a series of new features to enhance user control over playlists and music discovery, while also revealing which Eurovision 2025 entries are currently dominating the streaming charts.
The latest updates, introduced for Premium users, focus on playlist customisation and queue management. The redesigned Queue section in the Now Playing view now includes Shuffle, Smart Shuffle, Repeat, and Sleep Timer controls. Additionally, Spotify is testing a 30-day Snooze feature, allowing users to temporarily remove tracks from recommendations without losing them permanently.
The revamped Hide button also offers more control, hiding specific tracks from playlists across devices. Meanwhile, the Create button now provides quicker access to playlist creation, collaboration tools, and the AI Playlist function, which lets users craft playlists based on specific themes or moods. The AI Playlist feature is being expanded to more markets, bringing a touch of personalization to music discovery.
Premium users in Australia, Canada, Ireland, New Zealand, South Africa, the U.K., and the U.S. can now convert their Liked Songs into playlists by genre, adding a fresh way to organize and access favorite tracks.
