Spotify’s AI DJ gets new voices, personalities, and an option for less chatter
Spotify Premium users can now customize their AI DJ with new voices with different personalities, or turn off the commentary between songs.
Spotify's AI DJ is getting a facelift, with new customizable voices and the option for less chatter. The update, announced on Tuesday, allows users to select from a variety of AI DJ voices in both English and Spanish, with distinct personalities. Users can choose among seven English options, including British, American, Irish, Australian, and Indian accents, and two new Spanish voices, one down-to-earth and another witty.
The AI DJ's original voice, "X," will remain but will now be joined by DJ Fabi and Nico as the only Spanish voices available. Additionally, users can now toggle off the commentary between songs, reducing the DJ's interruptions. This feature was designed for users who prefer background music without the DJ's chatter, such as during parties.
To access the DJ, users can search for "DJ" in the Spotify app and tap the three-dot menu to select their voice and commentary settings. The new voices are set to roll out today, November 10, to Premium users in over 95 global markets, including English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, and Brazilian Portuguese.
