Spotify will now suggest songs based on emotional state, gender or age

“It is common for a media streaming application to include features that provide personalized media recommendations to a user,” explained the platform in its application.

However, it continued, the current approach for discerning a user’s tastes is unsatisfactory, because it requires them “to tediously input answers to multiple queries” about their age, gender and favourite bands.

This new technology is one of several technical innovations that the music giant patented over the last year.

Earlier, Spotify had launched its services in Russia and 12 other music markets as part of its expansion strategy after breaking into India in 2019.

The music streamer had begun offering free and subscription services in 13 new markets, which include Albania, Belarus, Bosnia & Herzegovina, Croatia, Kazakhstan, Kosovo, Moldavia, Montenegro, North Macedonia, Serbia, Slovenia, and Ukraine.

Spotify,however, had entered in 92 global markets after these launches.
