How to Use Spotify’s Custom Transitions

To start, open any playlist and tap “Mix” from the toolbar. From there, you can choose different transition styles for each track. Spotify also provides options to adjust volume, EQ, and effects, and uses waveform and beat data to help you find the perfect spot for each transition.

The platform even displays the key and beats per minute for every track, making it easier for novice mixers to create smooth, professional-sounding playlists.

Why This Feature Matters

With nearly 9 billion playlists created on Spotify, this feature is designed for playlist experts and casual listeners alike. Custom transitions allow for seamless music flows, making your playlists feel more like a live DJ set.

Spotify vs. Competitors

This update complements Spotify’s other personalization tools, such as sorting and editing playlists, customizing Discover Weekly genres, snoozing tracks, and making AI DJ voice requests. It also positions Spotify ahead of Apple Music’s upcoming AutoMix, which offers similar DJ-style mixing features on iOS 26.

Premium Access Only

Currently, the custom transitions feature is available exclusively to Premium subscribers, giving them a unique advantage in shaping the perfect playlist experience.
