What is Spotify Automix?

Spotify’s Automix feature was released in 2018. It is powered by artificial intelligence to provide mixed playbacks in certain playlists by skipping the intros/ outros, crossfading songs to have perfect smooth transitions and looping portions of the songs to mimic a real-life DJ at the clubs.

The Automix feature was created to give a seamless transition between playlists. It may sound like the plain crossfading feature, but crossfading creates a smooth transition to change songs and Automix mixes music in a playlist.

Meaning Automix uses all the other transition features from Spotify to blend music or coalesce the music features to create a DJ-like playlist.

But as mentioned at the top, this only works with a handful of playlists that Spotify puts together. Automix will not work on the playlist that you created for sharing.

How Automix Mix Music On Spotify

Automix tries impersonating a real DJ to create a mini-DJ party with the playlists. As an actual DJ, it works on the fly and still functions perfectly even if you put the playlist on shuffle.

Here Are Some Similarities Between Real DJs and Spotify Automix:

  • Like a DJ, Automix brings a new track during the low-beat outro.
  • Decreases/ Increases volume on the playing track when the beats kick in.
  • Skips the slow intro of a song.
  • Mixes new songs when the drop comes in.
  • Choose a transition between two songs depending on the beat.
  • Creates loops for outros and more.

I will provide some playlists that support Automix.
