Luckily, Spotify knows you well enough to generate customized Daily Mixes, depending on your taste. It also goes beyond that to offer lists based on your favorite artists, genres, and even the decades you listen to the most.
What Are Personalized Mixes on Spotify?
Spotify takes into account the artists, genres, and decades you listen to the most to create customized playlists just for you. If you only feel like listening to one artist, you can pick a list with just their songs. If you want a wider selection, you can go for a specific genre.
The main benefit is that Spotify builds these playlists based on the songs and artists you listen to the most. So you’ll always find some familiar bops in them to get you going. However, there will also be new discoveries, based on your taste, to keep things interesting.
The playlists are constantly updated, so you can come back to them again and again and have a new experience every time. And don’t worry if you don’t have Premium, because they are available with a free account as well.
Find Your Personalized Spotify Mixes (Desktop)
Finding the Made For You mixes on your desktop is different whether you log in through the Web Player or the desktop app. You can even download and install Spotify on a Chromebook.
Spotify Web Player
Click Search on the left-hand menu. Scroll down a little. Under Browse all you can find an icon with the title Made For You.
Spotify Desktop App
If you use the desktop app, there is a convenient Made For You link on the left-hand menu, beneath Your Library.
Find Your Personalized Spotify Mixes (Mobile)
Launch the app on your phone and tap the Search at the bottom of the screen. Scroll down until you see Browse all. The Made For You box should appear under that title.
Make Your Own Playlists
While it’s nice to have personalized lists without the need to curate and source the songs yourself, you may sometimes be in the mood for very specific songs.
Spotify naturally has the option to create your own playlists. In addition, you can share your curated lists on Spotify with your kids, and even create a list with your friends, where all of you can contribute your favorite tunes.
