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.

How to Use, Create, and Share Spotify Codes

August 11, 2025

Whether you’re curating a playlist for your dorm, promoting an artist at a live show, or simply sharing your favorite album with friends, Spotify Codes make it easy to bring your listening experience into the real world. These scannable, QR-like tags allow you to quickly share and access any piece of content on Spotify, no typing or searching required.

What are Spotify Codes?

Spotify Codes are unique visual tags that can be scanned using the camera on your phone or within the Spotify app. Once scanned, they instantly take listeners to the linked content, whether it’s a song, album, playlist, artist profile, or even a branded page.

Using a Spotify Code is a breeze. Here’s how to scan a Spotify Code:

    1. Open the Spotify app on your phone.
    2. Hit the Search tab, then tap the camera icon in the top-right corner.
    3. Point your camera at the Spotify Code and let the app do the rest.

You can also create a Spotify Code:

    1. Open Spotify and find the content you want to share.
    2. Right-click on the content and hold “Option” (Mac) or “Alt” (PC) or tap the “…” icon on mobile or desktop.
    3. Select “Share,” then “Copy Spotify URI.”
    4. Paste the URI into SpotifyCodes.com, customize the design, and download your code.

You can adjust the color, size, and format to suit your needs, whether you’re designing flyers, posters, social posts, or stickers.

A few quick notes

Spotify Codes are designed to make sharing easier and more visual. However, if you’re planning to use them on physical products for sale, be sure to get the necessary permissions from the appropriate rights holders.

Spotify Codes offer a seamless way to share what you’re listening to online and off. From building community through a collaborative playlist to spotlighting an up-and-coming artist, these codes bring your musical world to others with just a scan.

7 Can’t-Miss Audiobooks Available in Spotify Premium

July 28, 2025

Summer is the perfect time to dive into a new story, whether you’re on the move or just looking for an escape. With Spotify Premium, eligible listeners in select markets can enjoy hours of audiobook listening time each month included with their plan. Our audiobook offerings continue to grow, and with hundreds of thousands of titles to choose from, there’s never been a better moment to discover your next great listen.

Not sure where to start? Our editorial team has handpicked a collection of standout audiobooks that span genres, continents, and cultures.

“When we curate titles for a campaign like this, we take it seriously—but we also have a lot of fun doing it,” said Suzanne Galvez, Director of Editorial and Spotify Publishing. “There’s real responsibility in choosing stories that speak to the moods and moments that matter to our listeners, many of whom aren’t traditional readers. So getting it right? That’s the goal.”

“Music memoirs always strike a chord—Tina Knowles’s Matriarch and Mark Hoppus’s Fahrenheit-182 have been big wins,” she continued. “And when a household name like Stephen King is having a pop culture moment? Even better. His latest Holly Gibney installment, Never Flinch, is a standout. Romantasy continues to be a powerhouse with our listeners, and we had a blast weaving in some buzzy new releases to keep things fresh. We’re excited about this lineup and hope our listeners fall in love with these titles just like we did.”

From romantasy sensations to international bestsellers, here are seven titles Suzanne and her fellow editors are loving:

A Court of Thorns and Roses

By Sarah J. Maas
Narrated by Jennifer Ikeda

After killing a wolf in the woods, young huntress Feyre is dragged to a treacherous magical land as punishment. What begins as captivity soon transforms into something deeper, darker, and more seductive. The first in Sarah J. Maas’s wildly popular series, A Court of Thorns and Roses topped Spotify’s Global Audiobooks of the Year list in 2024.

Why our editors love it: It’s a TikTok sensation for a reason—Sarah J. Maas’s immersive worldbuilding, action-packed scenes, flirtatious banter, and satisfying slow-burn romance easily drew in both the traditional fantasy readers and romance lovers on our team.

Atmosphere: A Love Story

By Taylor Jenkins Reid
Narrated by Kristen DiMercurio, Julia Whelan, and Taylor Jenkins Reid

Set during the 1980s space shuttle era, Atmosphere follows Joan Goodwin, a quiet physics professor who dreams of the stars. When she’s selected to join a newly recruited group of women scientists training for spaceflight, she finds friendship, passion, and love—but everything changes when a mission takes a devastating turn.

Why our editors love it: Our team has long been fans of Taylor Jenkins Reid, and her newest did not disappoint. We loved exploring a tender, emotional, and forbidden love story during such a pivotal moment in history. Plus, we’re absolute suckers for a great story about found family.

Never Flinch: A Novel

By Stephen King
Narrated by Jessie Mueller and Stephen King

Stephen King’s latest thriller follows two converging threats: a revenge-obsessed killer threatening mass murder, and a stalker targeting a feminist speaker on tour. With Holly Gibney on the case, the clock is ticking. Twisting and relentless, Never Flinch introduces an exciting new cast of characters and builds to a chilling conclusion.

Why our editors love it: We fell for the character of Holly Gibney back when reading Mr. Mercedes and have eagerly awaited each new installment of her story. And typical of King, this one doesn’t shy away from moral extremes, highly twisted motives, and the profound effects of trauma.

Matriarch: A Memoir

By Tina Knowles
Narrated by Tina Knowles, Beyoncé, Solange, Kelly Rowland, and Angie Beyincé

Tina Knowles traces her journey from a spirited girl in 1950s Galveston, Texas, to the matriarch of a family whose influence spans music, style, and culture. Told in her voice and those of her daughters, Matriarch celebrates love, resilience, and motherhood.

Why our editors love it: Matriarch is a beautifully honest portrayal of Black motherhood in America. We loved this listen for its candor, emotional depth, and for Tina’s ability to transcend the role of mother to a celebrity and create a highly relatable story about motherhood that spans generations.

Fahrenheit-182: A Memoir

By Mark Hoppus and Dan Ozzi
Narrated by Mark Hoppus

In this sharp, funny, and heartfelt memoir, blink-182’s Mark Hoppus traces his path from angst-ridden kid to pop-punk icon. Along the way, he opens up about identity, anxiety, fame, and his fight with cancer—all in his own unmistakable voice.

Why our editors love it: We adored Mark Hoppus’s candid and honest memoir. From his relatable struggles with chronic anxiety and depression to behind-the scenes blink-182 band lore, there was something for everyone. And Mark’s narration was the icing on the cake.

The Last Wish: Introducing the Witcher

By Andrzej Sapkowski
Narrated by Peter Kenny

Trained, mutated, and armed with magic, Geralt the Witcher is no ordinary killer. But in a world where the fair can be foul and the monstrous may yet be good, each hunt carries unexpected truths. The Last Wish begins the epic fantasy saga that inspired a hit TV series and popular video game franchise.

Why our editors love it: There’s little our team loves more than a morally gray hero, so the Witcher series is right up our alley. This book is clever and gritty, and it introduces an amazingly immersive world that’s enjoyable by both fans of the television series as well as people who just love great fantasy.

The Three-Body Problem 

By Cixin Liu
Narrated by Luke Daniels

The first novel in Cixin Liu’s visionary sci-fi epic is set against the backdrop of China’s cultural revolution. When a secret military signal reaches an alien world on the brink of collapse, Earth becomes the target of invasion. As the threat grows, factions begin to choose sides: resistance or surrender.

Why our editors love it: It’s a thought-provoking exploration of astrophysics and theoretical physics told through a fresh non-Western lens with highly complex, relatable characters in high-stakes situations. This series will challenge your worldview in the best possible way.

Spotify Takes In-Flight Entertainment to the Skies With New United Airlines Partnership

June 5, 2025

Spotify and United are teaming up to deliver an even more entertaining in-flight travel experience. Starting today, more than 450 hours of Spotify-curated playlists, podcasts, and audiobooks can be enjoyed for free from over 130,000+ seatback screens, many of which offer stunning 4K quality and Bluetooth audio compatibility.

This marks the first time we’ve offered audiobooks and video podcasts onboard an airline, giving United flyers access to a curated selection of titles, including Good Hang with Amy Poehler, The Dave Chang Show, and The Comment Section with Drew Afualo.

“Spotify has a huge audience and people love their content. And now our customers can enjoy it all in a simple and easy way, at 35,000 feet,” said Richard Nunn, CEO of MileagePlus. “Together, we’re giving millions of customers an entirely new way to experience and explore premium content from the world’s most popular artists, authors, and podcasters, all while flying with the latest technology in the sky.” 

Additionally, on Starlink-equipped aircraft, travelers can stream Spotify content on their personal devices from gate to gate without interruption—free of charge. All they need to do is log in to their MileagePlus accounts and accept the terms and conditions for using Starlink. From there, travelers will be able to open their Spotify apps and stream content, just like they do at home.

To celebrate the launch, MileagePlus members who are new to Spotify Premium Individual can sign up for a subscription and earn up to 1,000 bonus miles.  To see more and learn how to redeem the offer, visit promo.united.com/offers/spotify/. 

But this is just the start of what we have planned. In 2026, United passengers will be able to use their personal devices to log in to the Spotify app on the in-flight entertainment screen. This will allow passengers to enjoy their favorite personalized content on the seatback so they can pick up their favorite podcasts, music, and audiobooks from right where they left off.

“As a frequent United flyer myself, it’s incredibly exciting to see Spotify now available on the world’s largest airline,” said Ian Geller, VP Business Development, Spotify. “At Spotify, we’re dedicated to being everywhere our users are, giving creators opportunities to reach new platforms and engage different audiences. I’m especially looking forward to bringing an even more personalized app streaming experience to seatbacks next year.”

Level Up Your Holiday Season With Spotify Jam

December 18, 2024

As we gather together with friends and family this holiday season, music helps amplify the memories we’ll make. Spotify Jam is one way to create a personalized real-time listening experience that makes every festive moment even more memorable. With Jam, Premium listeners can invite others to contribute through a shared queue. The feature is a great way to reminisce over old favorites and show off new song obsessions. 

In 2023, we saw a record-breaking number of users create a Jam on Christmas Day and New Year’s Eve—with the number of users joining a Jam session on New Year’s Eve nearly doubling. The groups got larger, too. As people rang in the New Year, we saw a tenfold increase in Jams with six or more participants.

Don’t get left out of the fun: Here are three ways you can make the most out of Jam this holiday season: 

1. Jam on your smart TV

Easily Jam from any room at home with your smart TV. Your friends and family can seamlessly join the Jam from their own devices by scanning the QR code on the screen. 

2. Listening in the car

When you’re on the go, let your passengers drive the music. We’ve seen that handing over control of the playlist has become increasingly popular, with users’ starting the Jam in the car increasing by tenfold in the last year. As long as your Bluetooth is enabled, passengers can join the Jam, see group recommendations, and add songs to the queue that are bound to be crowd pleasers. 

3. Jam with friends near or far

Whether you’re together or apart, Premium users can Jam with friends. If you’re in the same room, a Premium listener can invite anyone to the Jam by simply turning on Bluetooth and tapping your phones together to join. You can also hit “Share” to send a share link through text, SMS, social media, and more. For those in your household, anyone on the same Wi-Fi network will be prompted to join the Jam as soon as they open Spotify.

With Jam, we’re giving Free and Premium users another way to connect more deeply with the artists, songs, and albums that unite them. Plus, Premium listeners can join from wherever they are, whether they’re in the same room or across the world this holiday season.
