Spotify<\/a> is rolling out a custom transitions feature that allows Premium subscribers to create seamless transitions between tracks in their playlists, challenging Apple Music<\/a>\u2019s upcoming AutoMix tool.<\/p>\n The Sweden-based streaming giant\u2019s new feature, currently in beta, allows users to automatically generate transitions or manually create them using preset options including fade, rise or blend effects.<\/p>\n Subscribers can access the feature by selecting \u201cMix\u201d from any playlist\u2019s toolbar, then adjusting volume levels, equalizer settings, and audio effects while viewing waveform and beat data to identify the best spot in each track for transition points.<\/p>\n The new feature targets Spotify\u2019s 9 billion <\/b>user-generated playlists. The timing of its launch positions Spotify<\/b> ahead of Apple Music<\/b>\u2018s AutoMix<\/b> feature, currently in iOS 26 developer beta testing.<\/p>\n Announced in June, Apple Music\u2019s AutoMix tool creates continuous playlists based on previously played songs. Apple<\/a> explained at the time: \u201cAutoMix uses intelligence to transition from one song to the next like a DJ, using time stretching and beat matching to seamlessly move from one song to the next.\u201d<\/p>\n With Spotify\u2019s seamless playlists, Premium subscribers can also save and share their mixed playlists and invite collaborators to contribute to tracks. Spotify recommends the feature for mixing dance genres like house and techno.<\/p>\n Spotify said: \u201cMixing is perfect for moments when you want to avoid awkward pauses. For example, upgrade your running playlist for consistent BPMs to set your pace, or curate the ideal road trip or party playlist to keep the vibe going.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cMixing is perfect for moments when you want to avoid awkward pauses.

Earlier this month, the company announced<\/a> price increases in several markets outside the US including South Asia, the Middle East, Africa, Europe, Latin America and the Asia-Pacific region.<\/p>\n Explaining the move, Spotify said: \u201cTo continue to innovate on our product offerings and features and bring users the best experience, we occasionally update our prices.\u201d<\/p>\n![](\"\/files\/2025\/05\/MBW-jobs-MPU.jpg\"\/)
