How is your experience with the Spotify's DJ feature?

[u/aliceincollege]

Any DJs or musicians here who have something to say about it?

[u/Space_Lift]

The algorithm for playing songs is really good. The AI voice suck balls.

I never looked into it but I figured it was based off of a real voice. My problem is not with the quality of the voice but just the fact that it gives you useless information. I don't need an algorithm to characterize artists I already follow and listen to, nor do I usually agree with the characterization of new artists it tries to introduce me to.

[u/behemothaur]

That fucking voice! Wish we could turn it off.

[u/regisestuncon1 → u/behemothaur]

I never got past the intro voice!

[u/LittleMint677]

I hate the way it cuts off large portions of the end of songs.

[u/Pang2024 → u/LittleMint677]

Yes! A persistent “tell” that AI doesn’t understand, much less appreciate, music.

[u/Prestigious_Many_330]

personally i am no DJ or musician im just a listener but im enjoying the breaks and the swapping up of music and the different artist , im even getting artists i’ve never listened to before

[u/aliceincollege → u/Prestigious_Many_330]

Ooooh yeah!

[u/T-LAD_the_band]

Still waiting for it to come to Belgium ..

[u/DaftC0ld → u/T-LAD_the_band]

Same in Belgium... I'm a bit relief that it's not just me for obscure reason.

[u/MCKLMT → u/T-LAD_the_band]

I’m waiting for it in France 🇫🇷 too!

[u/7eregrine]

Repeats sometimes. That's annoying.

[u/Melodic_Anteater6580]

My only issue is that he interrupts too often, but I typically enjoy the mixes and new music introduced

[u/planetkudi]

I like it

[u/Adventurous-State940]

Positive tbh

[u/lifelovepursuit]

Trash 🗑️- I no longer use it

[u/Techno-Kat]

Sometimes I use it to freshen up things I like it

[u/OffBeatBerry_707]

I feel like it should have a text feature; as cool as the voice feature is, I wanna be able to send a text prompt

[u/BrushYourFeet → u/OffBeatBerry_707]

I love this idea. That's awesome. I've been enjoying the DJ a lot more lately. It's like they juiced it up. Much better now.

[u/reekid_09 → u/OffBeatBerry_707]

I was trying to describe the vibe of my back porch today and just wasn’t getting it good enough. I thought about how cool it would be if you could Insert pictures and have DJ play songs based off of the vibe of it.

[u/DanyVIP]

I whait in Romania, but when, in 2030 ?

[u/AgreeableAlbatross80]

🗑️

[u/DarkRyder1083]

I like that it has priority, but when it wants to “switch things up” and play a certain genre or decade, I hate that it plays 1 song & then goes back to something current. Also, mostly what I hear is off my Mix, so might as well listen to that or shuffle my Liked songs if I want a variety.

[u/Ominous_Pastry]

At least initially it's mainly churning back to me the specific songs I've liked thus far rather than new stuff but I'm quite happy with the voice and the merging is great. Just hoping the algorithm gets more diverse with time - bit of a longshot I know.

[u/xain1112]

I like it, but I wish it wouldn't skip over the first 10 seconds of a song. I know that's normal for the radio, but sometimes the intro is my favorite part and it's annoying to have to go back and start from the beginning.

[u/Its_a_GD_Mickstery]

1. I wish it didn't sound so damn judgmental when I skip songs.
2. I have to clear my cache every other day or I hear the same songs on repeat.

The X voice is fine but being able to choose from a few voices would be cool.

[u/kelcamer]

Sometimes it's good, sometimes it sucks. Idk why it varies so much

[u/Christianne78]

I used to like it. Now it plays the exact same five songs every single time you turn it on. I used to use it for shuffling and maybe something new. Also cuts into songs like a minute in sometimes. No more.

[u/Emergency_Future_839]

I feel like it used to be better, it played more variety of songs, now it plays the same ones in the same order and it's mostly stuff i was listening to anyway
