Mixed Playlists

For: Premium

Mix your playlists by adding seamless and customizable transitions between songs.

How to create a Mixed playlist

For: Desktop and mobile

1. Open a playlist you created.
2. Select Mix to apply Auto transitions for all tracks.

Each song will then display the BPM (beats per minute) and Song Key.

If you’d like to customize your transitions, follow the steps in Edit your playlist transitions below.

• Edit your playlist transitions

  You can edit your mixed playlists by changing and customizing the transitions between songs.

  Note: You can’t edit playlist transitions if you’re in Offline mode.

  1. On your mixed playlist, select the transition row you want to edit.
  2. This opens a window where you can:
     • Volume - Adjust the loudness of tracks during a transition, typically by decreasing the outgoing track’s volume and increasing the incoming track’s volume.
     • EQ - Modify the different frequencies (highs, mids, lows) of tracks during a transition to achieve a smooth blend.
     • Effects - Add sound effects to a mix. Currently, this includes low-pass and high-pass filters, which gradually fade in or out specific frequencies.
  3. Select Save to apply your changes.
     

  Tip: You can also mix collaborative playlists. All invited collaborators can add and customize the mix.

• Turn Mix off

  You can turn Mix off if you’d like to listen without the Auto or customized transitions.

  • To turn Mix off, go to the mixed playlist and select Mix. The songs will then play as a regular playlist.
  • To add back the saved transitions, select Mix again.

  Note: If you turn Mix off on a playlist you created, it will play as a regular playlist for all listeners.

Add stickers to your mixed playlist cover

For: Mobile

Make your mixed playlists stand out even more with mixed edition stickers for your playlist cover art.

Note: You'll only see mixed edition stickers in the Create cover art feature if your playlist has Mix enabled with Auto or customized transitions.

Sharing and listening to mixed playlists

Mixed playlists can be shared to friends as you would other content on Spotify.

• On Premium, you can listen to the playlist with transitions.
• On the free version, you can only listen to it as a regular playlist.

You can listen to mixed playlists on speakers and other devices via Bluetooth, but they play as regular playlists when using Spotify Connect.
