Spotify has introduced a new custom transitions feature for Premium subscribers, allowing users to mix tracks like professional DJs and create more personalized playlists. This update enhances listening experiences by offering smooth transitions between songs, setting Spotify apart in the competitive music streaming market.

How Spotify’s Custom Transitions Work

With the new update, users can open any playlist, tap “Mix” from the toolbar, and start editing. Spotify provides preset transitions such as fade, rise, or blend, while advanced options allow adjustments to volume, EQ, and effects.

The platform also displays waveform visuals, key, and BPM (beats per minute) for each track, making it easier for beginners to align songs seamlessly. This feature bridges the gap between casual listeners and those experimenting with DJ-style mixing.

Personalized Playlists Like Never Before

Spotify reports that users have already created nearly 9 billion playlists on the platform. With custom transitions, listeners can now:

• Save and share mixed playlists with friends
• Collaborate on joint mixes
• Switch between traditional and mixed playlists with a simple toggle

This makes the feature ideal for parties, workouts, or casual listening sessions, especially for genres like house and techno, which naturally blend together.

Spotify vs Apple Music: The Battle of AutoMixing

The launch also positions Spotify ahead of Apple Music’s upcoming AutoMix feature, which promises DJ-style mixing for its users. While Apple focuses on automation, Spotify gives listeners more hands-on control to fine-tune their playlists.

Combined with other recent updates—such as playlist customization tools, Discover Weekly genre editing, AI DJ, and snoozing tracks—Spotify continues to expand personalization options for music lovers.

Global Rollout for Premium Subscribers

The custom transitions feature is now rolling out worldwide for most iOS Premium users, with some APAC regions expected to receive it later. Users can further personalize playlists with cover art, stickers, and labels, making them both sonically and visually unique.
