Spotify has unveiled Smart Filters, a new feature designed to improve music discovery and playlist management for users. The innovation leverages AI and user behavior analytics to categorize songs, podcasts, and playlists automatically, allowing listeners to filter content by mood, genre, tempo, or popularity. Industry analysts view this as a strategic move to deepen user engagement, improve personalization, and reinforce Spotify’s competitive edge in the streaming market.

Spotify has taken another bold step into the future of audio by partnering with leading AI voice technology provider ElevenLabs to allow the distribution of AI-narrated audiobooks. This move follows a similar collaboration with Google Play Books two years prior and reflects Spotify’s increasing focus on expanding its audiobook library. With support for narration in 29 languages, the new integration enables authors to use synthetic voices for their content creation.
