Spotify enhances AI dj with customizable voices and reduced commentary options

Spotify is rolling out significant updates to its AI DJ feature, allowing Premium subscribers greater control over the experience. Users can now select from an expanded selection of voices and personalities, mirroring options found in other AI assistants. The new additions include seven English voices featuring British, American, Irish, Australian, and Indian accents, alongside two new Spanish options, Nico and Fabi, which replace the previous Spanish voice, Livi. Beyond voice selection, the update introduces the ability for users to minimize the commentary between music selections. Instead of detailed explanations, users can limit the DJ's interruptions to brief acknowledgments at the start and end of the session, catering to users who want background music without constant narration. This enhancement revisits one of Spotify's initial major AI features, which is already utilized by over 94 million Premium listeners. The new voices are available starting today, November 10, in over 95 global markets where the DJ is supported in languages including English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, and Brazilian Portuguese.
