Thankfully, Spotify Blend can help. You can build a curated playlist based on the musical preferences of up to ten people in a matter of seconds. Here’s how to use Spotify Blend to create shared playlists with friends.
What is Spotify Blend?
Spotify Blend is a feature that allows you to automatically create a playlist with up to ten other people. The playlist is based on the listening history of all of the people who you add to it. You can create collaborative playlists in Spotify where multiple people can add songs, make edits, and reorder tracks, but this is a manual process that requires users to add the songs themselves. Spotify Blend automatically creates a curated playlist based on the listening history of all the people who are part of the Blend. Each song in the playlist includes an icon to identify which person’s account was responsible for the song being added to the playlist, so you can see which are ‘your’ songs and which came from other members of the Blend. The Blend also updates daily, so you’ll never hear the same playlist twice. Spotify Blend is great for situations such as road trips with multiple people. You can instantly create a playlist that mixes everyone’s musical tastes so that you’ll all know and enjoy at least some of the songs in the playlist. You can also create a Spotify Blend with a limited number of artists. This creates a mix of the artist’s songs, some of their favorite songs by other artists, and some of your songs. You can also see how well your music tastes match with theirs. Currently, however, there are only a few artists that it is possible to do this with.
