Techgeeks reports that Spotify is broadening its widely used DJ tool to reach a global audience. The streaming giant is launching its AI-hosted DJ service to Premium subscribers in additional regions, such as Austria, Brazil, France, Germany, Italy, Portugal, South Korea, and Switzerland, raising the total number of supported countries to more than 75.
In addition to reaching new markets, the DJ feature now supports four additional languages: French, German, Italian, and Brazilian Portuguese.
What is Spotify DJ and how does it function?
For those unfamiliar, Spotify DJ serves as an artificial intelligence-driven companion that operates like a personal radio host within your app. It leverages your listening habits, personal tastes, and Spotify’s editorial knowledge to provide a personalized music stream, complete with brief commentary between songs.
The voice of the original English DJ is based on Spotify’s own Xavier “X” Jernigan, offering a listening experience that feels more dynamic than a standard playlist. It also adapts based on your feedback, improving its ability to fulfill your song requests the more you engage with it.
Spotify DJ Accepts Song Requests Like a Live DJ
Premium subscribers can also ask Spotify DJ for specific tracks using voice commands. Simply press and hold the DJ button located in the bottom right corner of the screen until you hear a beep, then specify your request, such as a mood, genre, artist, or general vibe.
Spotify has recently been making significant updates. To address the surge in AI-created music, the platform has launched verified artist badges to help users distinguish between human-made and AI-generated content.
In an unexpected development, the app now allows users to purchase physical books and functions as a fitness coach with integrated Peloton workout sessions.
