Mezcla tus playlists favoritas sin interrupciones agregando tus propias transiciones

August 19, 2025

Los usuarios de Spotify en todo el mundo han creado casi 9 mil millones de playlists para acompañar sus momentos del día a día. Ahora, los usuarios Premium pueden llevar su creatividad al siguiente nivel con la posibilidad de añadir y personalizar transiciones entre canciones.

Esta nueva función, actualmente en versión beta, brinda aún más control a los usuarios, permitiéndoles crear playlists únicas de forma sencilla, ya sean amantes de la música o expertos en curaduría. Pasa de una canción a otra de forma fluida, personaliza cómo se conectan y mejora tu mezcla con ajustes como volumen, ecualización y curvas de efectos.

¿Listo para darle un giro a tu música? Personaliza tu playlist con transiciones fluidas.

    1. Abre una playlist que ya hayas creado o empieza una nueva.
    2. Selecciona “Mezclar” en la barra de herramientas y mira cómo se transforma tu playlist.
    3. Elige “Automático” para una mezcla al instante o “Personaliza tu mezcla” para crear transiciones únicas que se ajusten a tu estilo.
    4. Al personalizar, puedes elegir un estilo preestablecido como “Desvanecer” o “Ascender” para aplicar diferentes tipos de transiciones.
    5. Experimenta con configuraciones específicas de volumen, EQ y efectos, y usa la forma de onda y el análisis de beats para encontrar el mejor punto de transición en cada canción.
    6. Pulsa “Guardar”, luego escucha tu playlist única. Compártela o incluso colabora con amigos Premium en una playlist mezclada.
    7. Puedes activar o desactivar la mezcla en cualquier momento presionando el botón “Mezclar”.

¿Nuevo en el mundo del mixing? Estos consejos te ayudarán a mejorar tus playlists:

    • Empareja tempos y tonalidades: Para lograr transiciones más naturales, elige canciones con tempos y tonalidades similares (clave Camelot). Al tocar “Mezclar”, verás automáticamente la tonalidad y BPM (beats por minuto) de cada canción, lo que te facilitará reordenarlas para una mejor fluidez.
    • Empieza con géneros amigables para mezclar: La mezcla funciona mejor con géneros pensados para transiciones suaves. Estilos como house y techno suelen integrarse más fácilmente.
    • Ten en cuenta la energía: Piensa en el ambiente que quieres crear. Ordena las canciones para subir o bajar la intensidad poco a poco, guiando al oyente a través de un recorrido emocional.
    • Aprovecha tus mejores playlists: Las mezclas son ideales para evitar silencios incómodos. Por ejemplo, mejora tu playlist para correr con BPM constantes que marquen tu ritmo o crea la playlist perfecta para un road trip o una fiesta sin que decaiga el ambiente.
    • Dale estilo visual: Haz que tu playlist sea aún más especial creando tu propia portada con nuevas etiquetas y stickers, disponibles solo para playlists mezcladas.

Spotify Premium es el lugar ideal para disfrutar de la música que más te gusta, y siempre estamos mejorando para ofrecer una experiencia aún más completa. Con las transiciones personalizadas, buscamos que cada usuario pueda moldear su manera de escuchar y expresarse a través de la música.

Esta nueva función se está activando de forma progresiva para usuarios Premium elegibles, así que asegúrate de tener tu app de Spotify actualizada.

Mix Your Favorite Playlists Seamlessly by Adding Your Own Transitions

August 19, 2025

Spotify users around the world have soundtracked their everyday moments by creating nearly 9 billion playlists. Now, Premium users can take their creativity to the next level with the ability to add and customize transitions between tracks. 

The feature, now in beta, gives users even more control—allowing music lovers and playlist experts alike to easily create unique playlists. Seamlessly transition between tracks, customize how they flow together, and enhance your mix with features like volume, EQ, and effect curves.

Ready to mix things up? Make your playlist your own with seamless transitions.

    1. Open a playlist you’ve already created, or make a new one.
    2. Select “Mix” from the toolbar and see your playlist change. 
    3. Start with “Auto” for an instant blend, or tap to customize your mix and create unique transitions that fit your style. 
    4. When customizing, choose a preset like “Fade” or “Rise” to easily apply different transition styles.
    5. Experiment with specific settings for volume, EQ, and effects, and use the waveform and beat data to find the best spot in each track for your transition.
    6. Hit “Save,” then listen to your unique playlist. Share it, or even collaborate on a mixed playlist with friends who are also Premium users.
    7. You can toggle the mix on and off at any time by pressing the “Mix” button. 

New to audio mixing? These simple tips will help you level up your playlist.

    • Match tempos and keys: For the most natural-sounding transitions, choose songs with similar tempos and Camelot keys. When you tap “Mix,” we’ll automatically show the key and BPM (beats per minute) for each track, so you can easily scan and reorder to help your playlist flow more smoothly.
    • Start with transition-friendly genres: Mixing works best with music produced for seamless transitions. Dance genres like house and techno tend to blend more smoothly.
    • Consider the energy: Think about the mood and energy you want your playlist to have. Plan your song order to gradually build up or wind down the energy, guiding listeners through an emotional journey.
    • Tap into your best playlists: Mixing is perfect for moments when you want to avoid awkward pauses. For example, upgrade your running playlist for consistent BPMs to set your pace, or curate the ideal road trip or party playlist to keep the vibe going.
    • Visualize it: Make your playlist even more unique by creating your own cover art with new stickers and labels, available only for mixed playlists. 

Spotify Premium is the ultimate destination for fans to enjoy the music they love, and we’re always evolving to make it even better. With custom transitions in playlists, we hope to empower users to shape their listening experience and express themselves through the music they love.

This new feature is rolling out to eligible Premium users, so please make sure your Spotify app is up to date.

Take Your Spotify Playlists to the Next Level With Custom Cover Art

October 22, 2024

At Spotify, we know our users like to flex their creativity. We’ve seen this come to life across the more than 8 billion playlists listeners have created to soundtrack their musical moods, milestones, and every moment in between. Now we’re giving music fans the power to design and customize their own playlist cover art so their playlists can always look as good as they sound.

Rolling out in beta on the Spotify mobile app today, the new feature offers both Free and Premium users the ability to create their own cover art with unique images, colors and text effects, graphic elements, and more, allowing them to make their music playlists more unique and personalized than ever before.

Creating cover art on Spotify

All you need is a mobile device to access and use this feature. Whether you’re on iOS or Android, head to the Spotify mobile app (make sure it’s up to date) and select a playlist that you personally created or create a new one.

  • Tap the three-dot menu on the playlist page and then select “Create cover art” within the menu options.
  • From there, you can upload an original photo of your own and add or update a variety of elements, including:
  • Once complete, your playlist will be updated with your new cover art, and you can share your creation directly with friends or on social media platforms.

Pro tip: You can only save one custom cover art per playlist at a time, and each new cover you create will override the previous one for that specific playlist. If you’d like to create multiple covers for a playlist, make a copy of the playlist first. The easiest way to do that is to open the playlist you wish to copy, tap the three-dot menu, select “Add to other playlist,” and then tap “New playlist” to create your copy.

With the feature currently available in beta to users in English in 65 markets, we’re excited for fans to personalize their music playlists like never before. We’ll keep innovating and expanding the tool, so stay tuned for what’s to come.

Get inspired by the experts

As part of the launch, we’ve partnered with music artists, visual creators, and artists behind some of the world’s most iconic album art to empower listeners to unlock a new level of creativity and individuality. Each used the new feature to create unique cover art for one of their playlists on Spotify.

Music artists include Clairo, Jamie xx, and Arlo Parks. On the visual creator front, we’ve tapped Pablo Rochat, Jesse Nyberg, Vita Kari, and Elliot Ulm. Finally, our album artwork experts include creative director Imogene Strauss; Adrian Hernandez, the creator of Ugly Primo and designer of Un Verano Sin Ti by Bad Bunny; and Cey Adams, who has designed albums and logos for The Notorious B.I.G., Beastie Boys, and JAY-Z.

Spotify’s Song Psychic Is Ready To Answer Your Burning Questions

February 29, 2024

Life’s full of little mysteries, and sometimes the most fun way to tackle them is with a bit of cosmic guidance. Spotify is ready to take you on a journey of enlightenment with Song Psychic, a new, mystical music experience.

You’ll have the chance to choose from a selection of pre-populated questions relating to nine topics, ranging from My Future to Life’s Greatest Mysteries. Spotify’s Song Psychic will select the perfect song to answer your question.

Here’s how it works:

  • Ask your question. You can pick from a variety of pre-populated questions like “Should I go on this date?”, “Should I book a vacation?”, or even “What should I have for lunch?”
  • Await your future. After selecting a question, a contemplation screen is shown while Song Psychic finds the perfect song to answer your question.
  • Listen and share. When the answer appears, you can listen to the song on Spotify, ask another question, and share your results on social media.

Rapper and singer-songwriter Baby Tate got a sneak preview of the feature. “I love when my favorite apps launch new interactive programs, especially ones that let me ask silly questions like “Should I go to clown school?” Baby Tate shared.  “It gave me an amazing answer: my song ‘Yasss Queen.’ It’s so chaotic but SO good. I can’t wait to ask Song Psychic more silly questions and see what songs I’m recommended!”
