Spotify announced a major update to its app at Stream On 2023 that brings an all-new Home feed with previews for Music, Podcasts, and Audiobooks.
There's so much to listen to on Spotify, and so little time. We know you don't want to spend precious hours on titles and tracks you might not enjoy. Beginning today, when you open up Home on the Spotify app, you'll find personalized, curated previews of the songs, podcasts, and audiobooks you might enjoy. Quickly dive into what speaks (or sings) to you, or save it for later when you need that perfect soundtrack.
The music feed
The music feed contains personalized recommendations for singles, albums, and playlists. At the top of the feed, you'll see some selected mixes you might like. (If you're a Premium user in the U.S. and Canada, you'll also see DJ.) When available, animated song canvases will accompany audio previews, providing you with a peak into an artist's creative world.
The Podcasts & Shows feed
Just like music, the podcast feed contains personalized recommendations for new and familiar episodes and shows. At the top of the feed, you'll have quick access to your shows. Automatically generated previews will showcase what's in store. For podcasts, real-time transcriptions allow you to easily preview an episode or chapter even with the sound off. Video podcast previews let you watch and listen to the conversation.
The audiobooks feed
The audiobooks feed contains personalized audiobook recommendations. At the top, you'll have quick access to your purchased or saved audiobooks. And to give you a taste big enough to help you make the perfect call on a purchase, the audio preview may be up to five minutes long.
After previewing, you can:
● Save, download, or share with just one tap: Simply tap the Plus (+) icon to save your recommendations to Your Episodes or Your Library. Then, download or queue by tapping the three dots at the bottom of the preview.
● Play from the start: Press Play to listen to a track, album, playlist, or episode from the start. For podcasts, tap "continue listening" to play the rest of the preview from where it began.
● Dive even deeper: Tapping a recommendation will take you to the playlist, album, or single to explore even more related audio.
Spotify says the new Home feed is beginning to roll out to Premium and Free users globally across iOS and Android. Check out the video below for the full announcement.
