Ready to sort your musical vibes on Spotify's Liked Songs playlist?
Navigating the Liked Songs playlist on Spotify, I often find myself bamboozled, unsure if I'll hear Steely Dan, Phoebe Bridgers, or Ginuwine's "Pony." Sound familiar? (Though maybe sans "Pony," that's on you.) Spotify thoughtfully introduced mood and genre filters to both free and premium accounts, meaning you'll soon have some control over your sonic odyssey.
Spotify shared that users rocking at least 30 tracks in their Liked Songs playlist get access to personalized genre and mood categories. But remember, these mood and genre filters are tailored to the tracks in your playlist. So, keep updating your list, as your filters may shift accordingly.
To get started, journey to Your Library, select Liked Songs. Below the "add songs" button, but above the playlist, you'll spot additional bubbles displaying your mood and genre filters. To filter by a certain category, click the bubble. To disengage it, simply click the "X" that'll pop up next to it. Spotify demonstrated the feature, showing filters like chill, indie, electronic, and rap.
But alas, be patient as the feature is yet to arrive on iOS and Android in the U.S., Canada, UK, Ireland, South Africa, New Zealand, and Australia "over the coming weeks."
Now, what if you don't see the update pronto? Fear not. You can still create a magnificent listening experience by:
- Discovering Mood Playlists:
- Open Spotify.
- Navigate to the Search tab.
- Type "Mood" or a specific mood like "Chill" into the search bar.
- Browse through the results to find playlists that fit your current vibe.
- Checking Out Spotify's Generated Playlists:
- Cruise your Home screen for playlists curated by Spotify, such as "Daily Mix" or "Discover Weekly." These are fine-tuned to your listening habits.
- Filtering By Genre:
- On the Search tab, key in a genre (e.g., Jazz or Electronic).
- Scour through the search results to unearth playlists or radio stations related to that genre.
- Unearthing Playlists by Genre or Mood:
- Scout for playlists spearheaded by users or Spotify itself that are categorized by genre or mood. While direct filtering of Liked Songs isn't possible, delve into playlists organized by these categories.
Lastly, even though mood and genre filters aren't directly applicable to your Liked Songs playlist, you can manually mold your listening experience by creating separate playlists for each genre or mood. Here's how:
- Creating a New Playlist:
- Tap the + icon (iOS) or the Create Playlist button (Android).
- Name your playlist based on a genre or mood (e.g., "Favorite Jazz Tracks").
- Adding Tracks to the Playlist:
- Traverse your Liked Songs playlist.
- Select tunes that fit the playlist's theme and add 'em in.
- Repeat this process for various genres or moods.
By constructing separate playlists for every genre or mood, you can effectively organize your favorites without the need for direct filters within the Liked Songs playlist. Happy listening!
