Spotify has made controlling your music as easy as talking to a friend. Streaming service Introducing a “chat experience” beta for Premium subscribers that lets you have back-and-forth voice or text chats to control and learn about everything you’re playing.
The new feature allowing you to control the music as specifically (or as vaguely) as you like. You can ask Spotify to “add music from Above & Beyond” to your queue, but then narrow it down to “only their latest stuff.” You can even explore your history, such as when you first played a song or what genres you’ve listened to the most.
You can also learn more about the content itself, such as music, audiobooks, or podcasts. Podcasts where a guest appears and books written by the author, you can ask about the concepts behind the album. You won’t have to visit a single page or website to get a full picture of an artist’s reach.

The conversation with AI comes just days after Spotify updated its weekly discovery playlists to feature more control About how you discover music that’s new to you.
