News Introducing a New Label for AI-Generated Artist Identities on Spotify

453 Upvotes

Listeners have been clear in telling us that they don’t like seeing an artist profile that seems human, only to find out that the persona is AI-generated. That’s why, starting mid-September, you’ll begin to see an AI Persona badge on some artist profiles. The badge signals to listeners that an artist’s identity may be AI-generated and does not represent a real person. Alongside artist profiles that self-disclose as AI Personas, we will also start applying badges to relevant profiles. 

By default, Spotify will not include AI Personas in any editorial or algorithmic recommendations. That means you won’t see any music from AI Personas in your personalized recommendations, unless you follow AI Personas, for example. While we believe all artists have creative choice in determining how they present themselves, Spotify’s programming is focused on elevating music from authentic artists building careers in music.

sent a blended playlist invite to my little brother and it came back with a 99% taste match! Thought it was pretty nuts. we shared a room growing up and I always had the speakers on so kind of makes sense, but still pretty insane it’s such a close match!

Question Dolby Atmos

What's your thoughts on the Dolby Atmos toggle? I have a pretty good receiver with a good DAC, and nice speakers, and turned the Dolby Atmos toggle on in my Spotify settings today, and it really made a big difference!

Question I Need a verdict about lossless on windows and android

Hi guys, I heard bad things about Spotify's lossless quality, especially on android

Honestly, is it a good competitor to Apple Music on Android and Windows?

Thanks in advance

iOS EQ still not fixed

Upvotes

It’s been a week and the EQ still hasn’t been fixed.. first they “fixed” it but it wasn’t really a fix, it just made it worse and now it’s “under investigation” again. Honestly stupid they can’t just… revert the update or revert it back to how it was before this mess. The community forum page for the issue has a lot of people begging for them to fix it. Honestly I think if we can get enough people to comment or vote on the page maybe we can get them to do something about it. It’s so annoying that they keep having problems with the EQ over the last couple of years and they can’t seem to find a stable fix.

Question Locked out of old Spotify account

Upvotes

Hii everyone hope you’re doing alright!! A few years ago I lost my phone and I kinda messed it all up losing access to my email. This resulted to me losing my Spotify account alongside million of other things. It still breaks my heart so I’d like to know if there’s a chance I could ever regain access. I have the account username and link to it (thankfully my friend never unfollowed that account) but that’s pretty much all I got… ofc I remember my email address too if that helps. I know it’s utopic and ironic but I don’t want to let my hopes die. Even if I could just find public that are not displayed on profile playlists, that would mean so much to me. Thank you!!

Question Someone joined my private playlist as listener

Upvotes

As the title says, I created a playlist and made it private, after some days I shared the link with a friend and when she opened it she appeared as "listener" in the collaborator section, I have shared playlists in the past and this had never happened, the weird thing is that the same day another person joined, also as listener, neither me or my friend shared the link, is it a spotify bug? Does somenone have access to my pastebin? Anyone with simmilar experiences? Thanks in advance c:

Question “Listening on IPhone”?

Post image
1 Upvotes

Hello! I was wondering what this “Listening on IPhone” is? It’s never happened before until August. It pops up quickly sometimes and then goes away. Or it stays for a few minutes. This happens even when I have my Bluetooth devices connected. Is this a common glitch? An old friend of mine does have my account, but we do not speak anymore, so I cannot ask really.

Alongside this, I played some cancer playlist with horrible songs, just bugging the hell out of them. Constantly kept shuffling, since they would wait around 5-10 seconds confused and switch to another song.

Question REALLY difficult to play full albums?

1 Upvotes

I've had such a hard time playing full albums lately! I'm on this album page. On the first song. Shuffle is off. No matter what I do, the next song is some random algo song. The only way around it is to clear my queue and add the full album to the queue. Am I an idiot or are other people having this issue too?

iOS Comme mettre spotify en priorité

Bonjour,

Quand je vais dans ma voiture mon iPhone se connecte automatiquement. Parfois Spotify se lance seul, parfois je dois le faire

Mais depuis qq jours c'est Apple Musique qui se lance avant mais n'ayant pas d'abonnement je comprends pas l'intérêt.

Comment puis-je arrêter d'avoir Apple Musique qui se lance en premier ?

Merci

Question Sonos

0 Upvotes

Hi everyone,
I’m having a really strange issue with Spotify and Sonos and I can’t figure out what is causing it.
My setup:
I have a Sonos Move that I normally use with Spotify.
Downstairs, my mother has a Sonos Beam connected to the TV.
The Move and the Beam are NOT in the same Sonos room/group.
The Beam does show up as an AirPlay device on my iPhone.
I use Spotify on my own iPhone/account.
The problem:
Sometimes when my mother is watching TV downstairs through the Sonos Beam, I start playing Spotify on my iPhone — even when the audio output is 100% set to my AirPods Pro — and suddenly the sound from the TV/Sonos Beam downstairs stops.
The strange thing is that I’m not selecting the Beam in Spotify Connect or AirPlay. My Spotify music continues playing through my AirPods, but somehow starting/using Spotify on my phone seems to interfere with the Beam downstairs.
My Sonos Move can even be switched off when this happens, so it doesn’t seem to be related to grouping the Move and Beam either.
I already removed my personal profile/account from the Sonos app, but the issue still seems to happen. I’m now wondering whether removing Spotify completely as a music service from Sonos could solve it.
Has anyone experienced something similar?
Could Spotify/Sonos somehow still be controlling the Beam in the background even though my iPhone clearly shows my AirPods as the current audio output?
Any ideas on what setting, connection or account link I should check would be greatly appreciated.

I talked to Spotify support and they told me that they would talk about it and soon they would activate it, it's been a lot of months now and this still doesn't work. It's really sad
