I’m curious: - Has anyone here actually used Spotify’s AI DJ? - What’s the experience like compared to regular playlists? - Does the AI voice/commentary add value or get irritating? - How good are the recommendations and adaptability to your taste? - Any standout strengths or obvious limitations you’ve noticed?
Would love honest feedback from those who’ve tested it. Thanks!
the voice and "personality" of DJ X is annoying but it's infrequent enough that I can live with it. my only gripe is that in longer sessions, he tends to play music I have no interest in, e.g. "what's hot right now" - my library is 10k+, I would have hoped he wouldn't run out of material and resort to current top 10 country or something.
Sounds like I'm looking for two other products: Party Mode (2015) and Auto-Mixing Testing (2018)

I could only handle it for about 2 seconds before I turned it off. This feature is a joke.
More broadly, there is clearly some obsession in Spotify's leadership with pushing anything vocal into listeners ears. This "DJ" feature is just a zero-effort extension of this. I still can't figure out why they are so obsessed with this. Perhaps there is some kind of correlation between tracks with affordable royalties and shitty vocal samples. I encourage anyone who is confused by my little rant to locate something like an instrumental-only EDM playlist on Spotify right now. You'll probably make it 2-3 tracks in before you get lit up with precisely the opposite of what you had requested.
