I\u2019m UK-based and have access to the feature, and a user on Reddit based in Canada has shared that it\u2019s working for them too (see below).

If you want to hear your custom transitions you\u2019ll have to listen to the playlist in order, which isn\u2019t ideal as many Spotify users like myself rely on the Shuffle button.<\/p>\n<p>With that said, this feature isn\u2019t designed for all types of playlists, but it\u2019s definitely a handy feature for enhancing party and social gathering playlists \u2013 especially ones with pop, dance, and electronic music.<\/p>\n<div id=\"slice-container-newsletterForm-articleInbodyContent-q5CUFnU2uMab3s9JD5JYzV\" class=\"slice-container newsletter-inbodyContent-slice newsletterForm-articleInbodyContent-q5CUFnU2uMab3s9JD5JYzV slice-container-newsletterForm\">\n<div data-hydrate=\"true\" class=\"newsletter-form__wrapper newsletter-form__wrapper--inbodyContent\">\n<div class=\"newsletter-form__container\">\n<section class=\"newsletter-form__top-bar\"\/>\n<section class=\"newsletter-form__main-section\">\n<p class=\"newsletter-form__strapline\">Sign up for breaking news, reviews, opinion, top tech deals, and more.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" id=\"elk-7d291dea-a3a5-49df-bbe7-c9c812a1450e\" data-url=\"\" href=\"\" data-hl-processed=\"none\"\/><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"3-is-it-compatible-with-spotify-connect-3\">3.

You can\u2019t blend more than one together, nor change the tempo or key.<\/p>\n<p>This doesn\u2019t come as a surprise, as the feature would be a bit overkill, but in most instances, you can choose how many bars a transition runs for in addition to adjusting volume and EQ settings which pack multiple transition options. If you disable the feature after customizing transitions and decide you want to enable it again, the playlist will restore your saved mixes \u2013 so you won\u2019t need to start from scratch.<\/p>\n<p><a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" id=\"elk-27801347-1139-43e0-a2f7-59665dc3a95b\" data-url=\"\" href=\"\" data-hl-processed=\"none\"\/><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"5-can-others-view-and-save-your-mixed-playlists-3\">5.

It would also be a great opportunity for Premium users who are more musically inclined to show off their skills and share their work.<\/p>\n<p><a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" id=\"elk-you-might-also-like\" data-url=\"\" href=\"\" data-hl-processed=\"none\"\/><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"article-body__section\" id=\"section-you-might-also-like\"><span>You might also like <\/span><\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<p><em> \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em> \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.techradar.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Spotify has unveiled a unique new feature that allows you to customize your own transitions between songs in playlists you make \u2013 a new rival to Apple Music&#8217;s AutoMix.
