Spotify’s is giving you the keys to its recommendation algorithm with US launch of ‘Taste Profile’
Spotify is rolling out Taste Profile to Premium users in the U.S., letting listeners see how the streamer understands their tastes and use natural language to reshape their recommendations
Spotify is providing music lovers with a new tool to influence the recommendations it delivers to its Home feed. This feature, named "Taste Profile," is now available to Premium subscribers in the United States. With Taste Profile, users can gain insight into how Spotify comprehends their musical and non-musical preferences, and make adjustments using natural language commands.
This AI-powered feature, first unveiled at the SXSW conference in March, initially launched as a beta version in New Zealand before being rolled out to Spotify's primary market. By editing their Taste Profile directly, users can request a greater variety of music or adjust the level of specific genres, artists, or overall atmospheres.
Users can also use the feature to eliminate recommendations for music they may regularly listen to but are not interested in further exposure to, such as sleep sounds or car music.
