Spotify is giving you a more personalised listening experience by letting you filter your library by activity, mood, or genre.

Spotify’s new Smart Filters

Spotify is stepping up its personalisation game once again. The platform is launching Smart Filters, a new tool that allows users to filter their saved content by activity, mood, or genre. Smart Filters isn’t just exclusive to your saved music either, letting you filter playlists, audiobooks, and podcasts too. So whether you’re getting ready for a workout, looking for something chill after work, or in the mood for a specific vibe, you’ll be able to tailor your listing for any occasion.

How to use Smart Filters

Pick whatever matches your vibe, and Your Library will instantly refresh to serve up a fitting selection.
