Spotify adds voice choices and a no-commentary option to its AI DJ
Spotify is adding new ways to customize its AI DJ for Premium subscribers in regions where the feature is available.
The DJ, introduced in 2023, plays music tailored to each listener and uses an AI voice to talk about selections.
Listeners can now choose from seven English and two Spanish voice personas, with different styles and accents.
They can also turn off commentary between songs, though the DJ will still introduce a session or respond to requests to change the music.
The changes give listeners more control over how the AI DJ sounds and speaks while they listen.
Spotify says the features are rolling out to eligible Premium subscribers.
Spotify is adding voice and personality choices to its AI DJ and an option to reduce commentary between songs.

With commentary reduced, the DJ will limit its speech between songs, making it more suitable as background music.
