Spotify is updating its AI DJ feature with new spoken voices and additional personality options. The change is designed to let listeners change how the DJ sounds while continuing to provide an automated mix experience.
Several outlets describe a key usability upgrade: Spotify Premium users can either listen to the AI DJ with commentary or turn off the between-song talk. In addition to voice options and personality variations, the update also includes an option to run the DJ mix without the extra narration.
Engadget and TechCrunch both frame the update as an expansion of the existing AI DJ experience rather than a completely new product. Where they differ is mainly in emphasis—Engadget highlights the availability of mixes without commentary, while TechCrunch focuses on customization with voices and personalities alongside the reduced-chatter setting.
