Imagine trying to enjoy your playlist, only for your music app to interrupt every few songs like it’s hosting a radio show.
Spotify has apparently heard the complaints.
The streaming platform is introducing new customization options for its AI DJ, including a feature that lets listeners turn off most of the spoken commentary between songs.
Basically, you can finally tell your AI DJ to let the music play.
Spotify’s DJ feature uses artificial intelligence to create personalized listening sessions based on your music taste, mixing recommended songs with commentary about artists, genres and your listening habits.
Until now, that commentary has been a major part of the experience.
But not everyone wants a digital host explaining the vibe while they’re studying, working out or trying to relax.
With the new update, users can reduce those interruptions while keeping the personalized music recommendations.
The DJ will still make brief announcements when a session starts or when someone manually switches the music direction.
Spotify is also introducing nine additional voice options in English and Spanish, including American, British, Irish, Australian, Indian and Mexican accents.
So, listeners can choose a voice that better matches their preferences.
The new features are rolling out to Premium subscribers in markets where Spotify’s AI DJ is already available.
That last detail matters, because availability varies by country and the update doesn’t mean everyone in Morocco can immediately use the feature.
Still, the announcement reflects a growing trend in music streaming.
Platforms are trying to make listening experiences more personal, but people also want control over how much technology gets involved.
Sometimes, the best DJ is the one who knows when to stop talking.
