You can create a Spotify mix with friend or foe with Friends Mix on Spotify, and make a joint Spotify playlist.
Friends Mix is a playlist that lets you merge Spotify accounts, combining your music taste with two or more users and creating a playlist based on what you and your buddies are listening to.
The playlist is an add-on to the Spotify Blend playlist feature, which makes a mix out of your listening history and that of up to ten other users, or an artist.
Where is my Spotify Friends Mix?
Friends Mix is available on desktop and the iOS Spotify app. If you’ve made more than three two-person Blends on Spotify, you’ll be able to see your Friends Mix in the Made For You section on the Spotify app.
The playlist will show which friends listened to which song, and shows any overlaps in music taste. Friends Mix updates daily so you get fresh recommendations as Spotify learns what you and your friends like to listen to.
If you want to add a friend to your Friends Mix, make a new Blend with them.
As the Friends Mix contains music choices from everyone you’ve one-on-one Blended with, the selection should be a fun mixture of different genres of music and new recommendations you wouldn’t have found by yourself.
Spotify’s recommendations algorithm is one of its biggest strengths as a streaming app. Spotify is increasingly investing energy into social features, encouraging sharing to social media, and pushing communal listening with Blend playlists and the launch of live audio platform Spotify Live.
And remember, if all the songs apart from your choices are garbage, the skip button is your friend…
