- Spotify has launched its new organization tool, Smart Filters, which can be found in its library
- This new function classifies its music saved by activity, mood or gender, allowing you to explore specific areas of your library
- It has begun to implement Premium users, but not yet filters individual songs
Spotify’s infamously crowded interface is obtaining a FTA that long ago thanks to the new filtering tools of the music transmission service. Smart filters bring some order to their artists and reproduction lists saved while allowing you to explore your library at a deeper level.
The new Smart Filters features, which Spotify announced through a blog post, are designed so that the classification of their stored music library is a softer and more personal experience. Divided into three wide categories, activities, moods and genres, each will present their own range of subfilters, an easy way to reduce the content in their library when looking for a specific environment.
For example, its category of activities shows pre -established such as ‘in execution’, ‘party’ and even ‘crying’, because we all need to let it out sometimes. In recent years, Spotify has really pushed its focus on ‘mood’ listening, and it is not different with intelligent filters. You can select among its ‘relaxing’, ‘melancholies’ and ‘happy dance’ prejestes, as well as subcategories of ‘indie pop’, ‘female soul’ and specific filters of the decade.
Smart filters have begun to be implemented with Premium users and will be available in the coming weeks in selected markets, including United States, the United Kingdom, Australia, Canada, Ireland, New Zealand and South Africa. Once you have access, smart filters are very easy to find:
- Gonna Your library In the Spotify application, and you will see the new Intelligent filter icon in the upper left under the image of your profile.
- When the icon touches, an emerging window will appear that shows the three categories (activities, moods, genres) and their subfilters.
- Select a subfilter and Your library It will be forwarded to coincide with your selection.
In a world of filters prior to Smart, the Spotify library section has been a messy disorder, showing their songs and recently touched albums, artists and reproduction lists, all in a chaotic music jungle.
While the filters have been an integral part of your library for some time, intelligent filters allow you to immerse themselves even more in your stored music and make them easier to navigate. Until now, intelligent filters have been positively received by users, including myself, but there is a setback that is following my view of the new feature.
If I only included my saved songs
At first glance, smart filters do splendid job when grouping my artists and albums stored in subcategories.
When I select the ‘barbecue filter’ in ‘Activities’, it generates an extensive list of artists who believes it would be perfect for such an event, and even give you a filter of ‘albums’ if you find any related story in your library. That said, it would be even more intelligent if this included saved clues in my similar songs, or individual songs of the albums I have kept.
Most of the time, I trust a tail of individual songs instead of the reproduction of a specific artist to bring energy to a particular social meeting or a solo activity. The option to filter songs would also assume the responsibility of adding songs to a much less discouraging jam.
However, smart filters are still in their childhood, so I am not yet closing them. In addition, I can see a lot of potential when it comes to building my own reproduction lists, as well as doing fresh. For example, enable the ‘dinner’ prejustment in activities presents a narrow list of stored artists, which would be much easier than traveling other places in the application, although I still like to do this.
