And Spotify will also have created playlists for you, includingyour annual Wrapped roundups.
There are Mood Mixes, Decade Mixes, and Genre Mixes, to name just a few.
And these all live inside theMade for Yousection of the app just waiting to be discovered.
In May 2023,Spotify added Niche Mixes.
These are personalized playlists for almost anything it’s possible for you to think of.
Which means no two Niche Mixes are the same.
My “Running Mix” will be different from your “Running Mix,” for example.
However, you might also use them to inspire your bespoke playlists.
you might add these tags to any search to narrow the results down.
The latter only shows music released within the last two weeks.
you could also combine any of the above to create very niche searches.
For example: “genre:rock year: 1992”.
These are perfect fodder when you’re looking to create new playlists.
Looking to create a playlist full of rock music from a certain year?
Scroll through the songs with that search operator, and your playlist will start coming together.
You’ll find this on every artist’s Spotify page.
On the desktop app, you’ll seeShow Allon the right-hand side.
Click that to reveal the full list.
So don’t feel limited to searching by artist, genre, or song.
Instead, try typing random words in to see what Spotify surfaces.
To get started, navigate tothe Search tab, which is present on both the desktop and mobile apps.
Then bang out 1-4 random words in to see what comes up.
As a purposely bizarre example, I searched for “short dinosaur eating.”
Unsurprisingly, most of the playlists Spotify presented to fit that search were full of dinosaur-related songs for children.
There are plenty of online Spotify playlist generators, includingUniversal Music’s Playlist GeneratorandSony Music’s MOOD Playlist.
you might then refresh the songs based on how similar they are or filter the list by mood.
Then, just add the ones that appeal to your own playlists.
A word of warning: Most of these online playlist generators ask you to connect your Spotify account.
While this is generally fine, it does mean sharing your data with a third-party app.
So, you should proceed with caution.
These methods should provide several interesting ways tocreate new Spotify playlists.
