Spotify is testing a new “Snooze” button that will let you temporarily remove a track from your recommendations in case you need a short break from hearing it. The option will appear for songs you choose to hide from your playlists, and it will prevent Spotify from putting them in your recommendations for 30 days.
Spotify is testing the Snooze button with Premium subscribers first, but it says it will “bring it to more listeners soon.” Along with this update, Spotify is making a change to its Hide button, as pressing it will now drop a track from a playlist across all your devices, not just the device you selected it on.
The music streaming app also revamped its queue for Premium users with a new design that includes shuffle, smart shuffle, repeat, and sleep timer options. It will also allow subscribers to see Spotify’s recommended songs after their queued-up tracks end.
Additionally, Spotify is trying to make it easier to manage playlists on mobile by placing Add, Sort, and Edit buttons at the top of each playlist. There’s a new option for users in the US, Canada, UK, Australia, Ireland, New Zealand, and South Africa to turn liked songs into playlists, along with a Create button at the bottom-right of the app’s screen that you can use to build playlists and join shared ones. Premium users can also use the Create button to listen to music with friends and access AI playlists.
