  5. Spotify is developing "Prompt Playlists: Prompt a playlist with specific cues and rules" "Describe your perfect playlist, in as much detail as you want..." I presume this technique underlies Daylists, but now it'll be available to all Premium subscribers. #NewSpotify

  6. Spotify is redesigning its podcast sharing UI to provide more fine-tuned control over the “starting point” for shares. #NewSpotify

  8. Ahead of earnings, Spotify hints at becoming a video-first platform to rival YouTube. Push notification goes out for @mileycyrus.bsky.social's new "concert film". Open the app, it says "Watch on your TV for the best viewing experience." $SPOT #NewSpotify #notifs

  12. Spotify has added a new menu item: "Your Updates", presumably where notifications will appear, including pre-saved album or audiobook releases. #NewSpotify

  13. Not to get my hopes up, but it appears that Spotify Lossless is inching forward: "Lossless music, now in premium" "Introducing the best sound quality on Spotify: for music in up to 24-bit/44.1 kHz." There's also a new animation for Optimize for high-end headphones. #NewSpotify

  25. Soon you'll be able to talk to DJ X on Spotify (only in English): "Tell DJ X what kind of music you want to hear, and he’ll curate a set just for you." "DJ Livi can’t take music requests yet." "Press and hold to talk to your DJ." #NewSpotify

  26. "You’re talking with an AI. We’ll be storing and analyzing your voice requests as we make improvements for our public launch." "You need to give Spotify access to your microphone to talk to your DJ." #NewSpotify
