Incoming Spotify Update With Curated Playlists

Popular music streaming service Spotify will be updating its Android and iOS application to bring a new type of curated playlist feature. These "smart" playlists are meant to set to mood for any time of the day and for any activity a user may be doing. Instead of picking an artist, genre, or album, Spotify will generate a playlist for things like; the morning, working out, cookouts, and more.

Going for a jog or to the gym? We've got the playlist to help you go the extra mile. Hosting a dinner or getting ready for a big night out? We've got you covered. We even have playlists for different moods, so regardless of whether you need an upbeat boost or something more relaxing to wind down to - we've got just the thing. You can also browse through a collection of our top lists and check out new releases.Rolling out to all mobile users from today, Spotify's new Browse page offers carefully chosen playlists for every moment of your day, handpicked by our experts.

New features include:

● Music for every moment: We've got just the right tunes for your morning commute, the party tonight, and the hangover tomorrow.
● Music for every mood: More than just genres, listen to a playlist for romance or a collection of face melting guitarists.
● Browse for what's hot and what's new: Find all the latest album and single releases from your
favourite (or soon-to-be favourite) artists, and a collection of our top lists.

As an avid Spotify user, the smart playlist feature will be great during my weekly gym visits. Having an unlimited supply of music via Spotify is great, but after while it's time to discover new music, especially if it works into my lifestyle. According to the press release, the Spotify update should be rolling out to Android and iOS users some time today.
