I’ve been using this feature for a couple days now, I actually love it. The DJ switches things up about every 4 songs, but I kinda wish I heard from him more, an intro between each song would make it feel like more of a radio dj which I’d love, also being able to request moods or genres would be amazing because I love discovering new music and the dj uses more of my already liked music than I’d prefer

So can we finally say that video killed the radio star which killed the CD star which killed the download star which killed the streaming star which killed the... radio star?

[sanjikaperera]

Would be glad if it's supported every country

[iamfmos]

Yeah we need Dolby Atmos, Lossless and True Karaoke mode. 😤

LOVE SPOTIFY DJ! Please bring this to the PC application and Web App as soon as possible! I typically use my phone offline :(

Can’t wait for it to launch in Europe 🙌

Just tried this earlier today, and it's such a cool feature! It really feels like a personalized party! I also like how it plays a few songs before switching it up.

I got access to DJ this past Monday when I was done with work. I have to say I enjoyed my experience and have to give Spotify kudos for using this AI technology. It's finally here and I'm seeing being used in a lot of places.

Really love the concept of this. Great alternative for a service like Spotify when you don't want to listen to radio. One thing I'd love to see though is the ability to give X assignments, like look for X or Y genres, styles and playlists, similar to what Google does.

Oh, and also a true shuffle mode, obviously. Cause that seems to still be a problem.

Edit: Also, I seem to be unable to use it just because I'm in the Netherlands. Despite having my entire phone in English. Region lock is a bitch.

Literally just discovered this feature last night. Its really good. I like how it doesn't just play songs and artists ive heard of. Would be cool if it spoke a little about the band before hand.

[warmerj]

This is awesome, how did I only just find out this existed? It'd be nice to have a setting for how often the DJ comes in, I wanna hear more from X!

[kennnyb]

Bring this to other regions that are not the US or Canada pls 😭

THIS IS INSANE! After using the DJ feature for an entire day, I must say we are living in a time of true AI innovation. I'm no longer saying "In the future.." in terms of where we are with this technology, this is the NOW. Sure, people are going to have a sour taste at first. Honestly, I don't blame them. Music is so ingrained into our lives. It adds color to our world, it amplifies emotions, and memories when hearing a familiar melody. I think the thought of having an artificial intelligence get the taste/control of the human experience that is music, puts people on edge. This feeling is valid, and that's okay. I obviously don't have the technical understandings of the AI's processing, but I must say it's a user friendly experience. It does a pretty decent job at utilizing all the music on your Spotify. For example, it may take your through memory lane by picking out a specific year. For me at least, it went back to a playlist I created in 2017 and it played my most repeated songs. Brought me right back into the summer of 2017, and how obsessed I was with EDM. The AI will also take note of your music trends. I don't know about yall, but I hop from one music genre to another lol. One week I'm listening to 80s pop, the next week I'm obsessively listening to the sound track of Interstellar by Hans Zimmer. The AI picked up on this and gave me a few songs to listen to. Whether the songs were classics to me, it also tossed in new music from the genre to keep it interesting. Pretty insane tbh. Regardless, music is what you make it. OBVIOUSLY, no one can nor should tell you how to listen to your music. If the new feature obscures your experience then turn off the AI. ALL I'm saying, sometimes it's nice to change things up instead of rotating the five songs that I'm currently obsessing lol. Again, this is just my experience.

Meanwhile other countries: OKAY!
We are waiting!

[virajsharma]

When this feature coming to India I can't wait to use it, it looks so cool and I have heard so many good things about it.

[_ren]

love it. gives me throwback songs, songs i love now, and new music according to my taste. if i don't like it? just skip. it's on point almost all the time. this is fine by me already but would love to see more personalization with it as other people are saying. of course that's more difficult to roll out but i don't mind waiting. keep it up spotify!! and dont forget the other countries :)

[yashptel]

Spotify: hey, checkout this new dj thing that you never asked for

Me: Okay, but where is the lossless audio that you promised like a few years ago

Spotify: What? You want audiobooks. Here are some audiobooks for ya.

Me Lossless audio. You said, you were gonna launch last year

Spotify: What?

[JesseWhiteman]

This is a radio killer. An ai radio host that gives you what you want and communicates to you. Crazy. We're truly in the future.

[alexjames]

I genuinely like this, I just wish they had the feature on tv- or just the ability to still hear the guy talk through speakers. I really enjoy that lol

[fjordstrom]

‪This is awesome. I hoped something like this would come one day. And if I understand it correcty, this also adds the personal radio station feature I love on Apple Music (but with AI commentary).
