🎧 Listen to this story
Spotify announced that Premium subscribers will be able to customize AI DJ with new voices and personalities in English and Spanish. The update includes seven English options, with British, American, Irish, Australian and Indian accents, plus two new Spanish voices, Nico and Fabi, which replace Livi; the original X voice remains available. Users can also limit commentary to brief acknowledgements when a session starts and ends, instead of hearing explanations between songs.
The new voices begin rolling out November 10 in the more than 95 markets where DJ is already supported, Spotify says. TechCrunch reports that the feature is used by more than 94 million Premium listeners. To change the settings, users can search for “DJ” in the app and open the three-dot menu; the update supports the feature in English, Spanish, French, German, Italian and Brazilian Portuguese.
