After introducing its AI-powered Prompted Playlist feature to users in North America earlier this year, Spotify is introducing another smart tool designed to improve the way your music flows from one track to the next.
With its latest update, the streaming giant has added a new feature called Smart Reorder for playlist transitions. As the name suggests, the feature automatically rearranges the songs in a playlist to create smoother transitions between tracks. It builds on the Mix tool introduced last year, which allowed users to manually add volume, EQ and effects curves to create seamless transitions between tracks in a playlist.
Instead of manually adjusting the order or applying effects to avoid jarring tempo or mood changes, users can now create playlists that feel like a carefully curated DJ set with just a tap. Smart Reorder appears as an optional control within the Mix function.
How to use Smart Reorder
You can access the feature by tapping the Edit button, scrolling down, and then selecting the Smart Reorder option. Once activated, it analyzes factors such as beats per minute (BPM) and key to rearrange songs into a more cohesive listening sequence.
Like the Mix feature, Smart Reorder doesn’t permanently change your playlist. The original track order is preserved and users can turn the feature on or off at any time. This flexibility ensures you continue to have full control over your carefully curated playlists, while giving you the option for a smoother, algorithm-driven listening experience whenever you want it.
Rolling out globally to Spotify Premium subscribers, Smart Reorder is the latest addition to the platform’s growing suite of AI-powered features.
