Finally, you can sort the music in your Played playlist on Spotify.
Hitting the play on the Liked Songs playlist in Spotify has always been a bit of a crapshoot for me – I never know if I’m going to get Steely Dan or Phoebe Bridgers or Ginuwine’s “Pony”. If this sounds like you (maybe) sans “Pony” but that’s your business), Spotify merciful start rolling out mood and genre filters today for both free and premium accounts.
Spotify says that for anyone with at least 30 songs in their Liked Songs playlist, their music will be able to filter up to 15 personalized genre and mood categories. However, these mood and genre filters are filled based on the music in your playlist. This means that changing the playlist by adding or removing titles can also change your mood and genre filters.
To enable the feature, go to Your library and choose Love songs. Below the “Add songs” button, but above the actual playlist, you should see extra bubbles that you display mood and genre filters. Select the bubble to filter by a specific category. To turn it off, just click on the “X” that appears next to it. In Spotify’s demo of the feature, some filters include things like chill, indie, electronic, rap and folk.
Do not panic if you do not see the feature immediately. Spotify has said it will be coming to iOS and Android in the US, Canada, UK, Ireland, South Africa, New Zealand and Australia in the coming weeks. So keep an eye out.
