Spotify has become an all-in-one spot to listen to your favourite songs, podcasts, and audiobooks – constantly releasing new features.

It recently handed you direct control over what plays next, and it released a way to tackle a surge in Artificial Intelligence (AI) generated music. The streaming giant has even gone as far as changing the look of its app icon in celebration of its 20th anniversary, which garnered very mixed reviews.

And now three new additions could be gracing your mobile app very soon. From a handy AI chatbot being available to you 24/7 to personalising your listening experience even further, here's what to expect.

1. Spotify unveils its own ChatGPT-like assistant

If you've wanted an Alexa+ or Gemini equivalent to help you in your music app, you're in luck. Spotify is letting you ask questions and make requests using its new built-in AI assistant.

The streaming giant said in a blog post: "Eligible Premium users will see new ways to talk to Spotify across Home and the Now Playing view on mobile. By typing or speaking directly in the app, you can have a back-and-forth conversation to choose what’s playing, learn about the music you love, revisit your listening history, and go deeper on podcasts and audiobooks, all without leaving Spotify."

For example, you can ask Spotify to listen to exactly what you want to hear without having to go search for it yourself.

You can also ask it to edit your playlist by making requests such as "Add Bad Bunny" or "Add this to my queue." If you want to get more specific, you can ask for an artist's music from a specific year or album.

On top of this, you can go even deeper to understand what you're listening to at the moment. For instance, Spotify says you can ask questions like, "When was this album released?"

Listening to podcasts or audiobooks? You can ask questions about these, too.

And if you want to ask questions about yourself, its AI assistant can also pull up that information. For example, you could ask, "What genres have I been listening to recently?" This could tell you what you've been enjoying all year, so there's almost no need to wait for the streamer's annual Spotify Wrapped report.

This particular feature is currently in testing mode in the US, Ireland, and Sweden, with wider rollout for paid subscribers expected down the line.

2. Spotify to personalise its Release Radar feature

The popular feature Release Radar is getting an upgrade. This is a playlist that updates weekly — giving you a fresh mix of all the recently released tracks. It's a great way to discover new artists and genres regularly.

And now you can personalise it to suit more of what you want in the moment.

Spotify wrote in a blog post: "We’re introducing refined session controls that give you a new way to shape your listening experience. With these controls, you can adjust the playlist so that it narrows in on a specific genre, focuses exclusively on new-to-you artists, or only serves up other personalised options tailored to your taste."

You can choose up to five options, such as Discover new artists, Pop, Editors' Picks, and more. This update should be available to everyone, released gradually.

3. Spotify could find songs ...even when you don't know the title

If you've ever been to a store or watched a movie and enjoyed the soundtrack but are not sure what's playing, Spotify could be working on its own fix.

The sharp-eyed team at Android Authority has discovered code suggesting Spotify could soon be able to identify songs for you on your Android.

It appears to be very similar to Shazam, which has its own app and is built-in directly with Snapchat. It could also be taking a page out of Now Playing from Google Pixel phones. Similar to Shazam, your Pixel can listen to music playing around you and notify you through the lock screen.

To make this achievable, Spotify would need access to your mobile's microphone, which is what the code seems to have requested. It also makes references to song identification.

If this does come to fruition, it's another handy feature that could help give Spotify an edge in being your one-stop shop.
