- Spotify has announced some new features of the application, including an 'SnoOze' button
- This allows you to prohibit a track of your recommendations for 30 days.
- IT, along with other new features, is being tested with Premium users
Spotify has been occupied by making small adjustments in its mobile application, as finally giving the option to disable its Smart Shuffle function, and it has just been announced several more, including a potential addition of Godsend called '30 -Day Snoze '.
While Spotify's music algorithm is one of the things that has kept me with the music transmission service for more than a decade, it also has irritating blind points, such as continuously recommending the same song in automated playlists like Discover Weekly or Smart Shuffle.
The new '30 -day button Snozze 'is designed to solve this, which allows you to temporarily eliminate a track of your recommendations (without completely eradicating it from your musical life). Unfortunately, Spotify is only “starting to try this for Premium users”, but says “plans to take it to more listeners soon.”
The 30 -day repetition will be a bonus option between the clues you have chosen to 'hide' of the reproduction lists: this is done playing the three points next to a song and hitting 'hide in this playlist'. The 'Snooze' function will give you an option “Do not suggest this song anywhere for 30 days”, which will be applied to all personalized reproduction lists.
If the characteristic has not yet been presented, Spotify has expelled other new adjustments to stay happy while waiting. The tail button (the three lines in the lower right of the view 'Now playing') now offer accessory accessories to shuffle, an intelligent timer, repeat and sleep.
In an adjustment related to the repetition of 30 days, Spotify will also show you the recommended songs that you plan to play at the end of its tail, so that you can expel any of those unwanted in advance. Spotify's 'Hide' button is also now more powerful: when touching it, the song will be hidden from that playback list on all its devices, not only in which you are listening.
Training the algorithm
These changes are an admission of Spotify that its algorithms do not always do everything right, and I can definitely see using the repetition of 30 days when it finally reaches my premium account.
For some reason, Spotify has persistently recommended I have it 'Autumn sweater ' In all my automated playlists. Although it is the less offensive song ever committed to recorded music, the opening battery now sends me to a soft anger adjustment, although it is a perfectly pleasant song.
It is my main candidate for a 30 -day nap, and others in the Techradar team have enthusiastically, including MK.gee's 'You are looking up'After an unfortunate incident in which our team's shared playback list was remotely co -opted by the son of our camera editor.
Another new feature that probably uses to escape the algorithm is an adjustment to the “songs.” It is now possible to use this to build reproduction lists: take advantage of a genre in the reproduction list of 'I like Songs', and now you will see a new option 'Make this playlist'.
We may not yet have Spotify Hifi (will it ever arrive?), While both price increases and optional accessories are apparently on cards, but at least Spotify continues to make small free improvements to save us from the worms from persistent ears.
