The idea is to serve users a new weekly playlist that changes based on individual users&#8217; recent listening habits, shifting moods, and personal tastes.

The feature aims to make massive libraries more useful and help listeners quickly find the right soundtrack for any moment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-wp-embed is-provider-routenote-blog wp-block-embed-routenote-blog\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"TYYE9xxFSc\"><a href=\"https:\/\/routenote.com\/blog\/spotify-rolls-out-smart-filters-to-let-you-sort-your-library-for-the-perfect-moment\/\">Spotify rolls out Smart Filters to let you sort your library for the perfect moment<\/a><\/blockquote><iframe class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" style=\"position: absolute; clip: rect(1px, 1px, 1px, 1px);\" title=\"&#8220;Spotify rolls out Smart Filters to let you sort your library for the perfect moment&#8221; &#8212; RouteNote Blog\" src=\"https:\/\/routenote.com\/blog\/spotify-rolls-out-smart-filters-to-let-you-sort-your-library-for-the-perfect-moment\/embed\/#?secret=TYYE9xxFSc\" data-secret=\"TYYE9xxFSc\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3>Spotify rolls out lossless audio<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>After years of anticipation, Spotify has finally launched lossless audio for Premium subscribers. The high-fidelity feature brings Spotify in line with competitors like Apple Music and Tidal, offering CD-quality sound. This squashes rumours that lossless audio on Spotify would land as part of a \u201csuper-premium\u201d tier, finally making finer detailed audio more accessible to users.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-wp-embed is-provider-routenote-blog wp-block-embed-routenote-blog\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"mUU6NPoaIi\"><a href=\"https:\/\/routenote.com\/blog\/spotify-rolls-out-lossless-audio-for-premium-subscribers\/\">Spotify rolls out lossless audio for premium subscribers<\/a><\/blockquote><iframe class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" style=\"position: absolute; clip: rect(1px, 1px, 1px, 1px);\" title=\"&#8220;Spotify rolls out lossless audio for premium subscribers&#8221; &#8212; RouteNote Blog\" src=\"https:\/\/routenote.com\/blog\/spotify-rolls-out-lossless-audio-for-premium-subscribers\/embed\/#?secret=mUU6NPoaIi\" data-secret=\"mUU6NPoaIi\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3>Nearly 30% of Deezer uploads are AI-generated<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Deezer revealed that 28% of all new uploads on its platform come from AI-generated music. This figure underscores the rapid rise of AI in music creation, with the percentage previously being 18% just back in April. In light of this, Deezer has vowed to continue leading the way to &#8220;minimize any negative impact for artists and fans&#8221; caused by AI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-wp-embed is-provider-routenote-blog wp-block-embed-routenote-blog\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"wtqb9g9BES\"><a href=\"https:\/\/routenote.com\/blog\/deezer-28-percent-ai-music-uploads\/\">Deezer reports 28% of its streaming uploads are fully AI-generated<\/a><\/blockquote><iframe class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" style=\"position: absolute; clip: rect(1px, 1px, 1px, 1px);\" title=\"&#8220;Deezer reports 28% of its streaming uploads are fully AI-generated&#8221; &#8212; RouteNote Blog\" src=\"https:\/\/routenote.com\/blog\/deezer-28-percent-ai-music-uploads\/embed\/#?secret=wtqb9g9BES\" data-secret=\"wtqb9g9BES\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3>Spotify eases restrictions on free tier globally<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Spotify has relaxed free-tier limitations worldwide, granting users more flexibility in on-demand playback and skipping.
