YouTube is adding AI-powered features to YouTube Music, including Ask Music, a conversational tool that lets users describe music preferences in natural language to discover songs and build playlists, and Your Podcast Lineup, a personalized audio guide for podcast discovery. These features aim to simplify music and podcast discovery across YouTube Music's catalog of over 300 million songs.
Spotify launched 'Taste Profile' to US Premium subscribers, allowing users to view and modify how the platform understands their musical preferences using natural language commands. The AI-powered feature, which debuted in beta in New Zealand in March, enables listeners to fine-tune recommendations across music, podcasts, and audiobooks by requesting more variety, specific genres, or adjusting overall vibe.
