New playlist for couples
Spotify have also created a Duo Mix – an ‘exclusive playlist that’s regularly updated based on music you both like’. Duo mix has both ‘chill’ and ‘upbeat’ options to match your mood.
Duo Mix is automatically created when you join Premium Duo. Once you have Duo, find Duo Mix on desktop and mobile apps in Home, under Made For You. You can also find it with Search or if you have a voice controlled speaker, you can simply ask to play Duo Mix. If you’re new to Spotify, Duo Mix needs to get to know you first, so expect to see it filled with your favourite songs after around 2 weeks of listening.
