Spotify’s New Feature Lets Users Add Custom Transitions to Playlists

Spotify is giving playlists a new twist. The streaming giant has rolled out a feature that allows users to add custom transitions between tracks, making the listening experience feel more like a DJ set than a standard playlist.

Instead of abrupt song changes, users can now set crossfades, fade-ins, and fade-outs, or even choose seamless beat-matched transitions where available. The feature is designed to help music lovers curate playlists that flow more naturally—whether for workouts, parties, or late-night study sessions.

The update reflects Spotify’s push toward personalization and creativity, giving users more control over how they experience music beyond just picking songs.

Currently, the feature is rolling out gradually across mobile and desktop apps, with full availability expected in the coming weeks. Premium users are expected to get early access before a wider release.

For Spotify, the move adds another layer to its competitive edge against rivals like Apple Music and YouTube Music, positioning playlists not just as collections of songs but as customized audio journeys.
