Shuffling between Spotify playlists can be a real struggle, especially with an ever-changing music mood. If you find yourself alternating between Taylor Swift anthems in the morning and more chill Frank Ocean songs in the evening, you’ll love Spotify’s brand new playlist called Daylist. Launched on Sept. 12, Daylist constantly updates with new music according to your taste throughout the day.
This is Spotify’s latest new feature, and follows other exciting updates like Playlist in a Bottle, which allows users to make a musical time capsule they can’t listen to until 2024. Spotify is famous for releasing original new ways to visualize your music taste and share it with friends. At the end of the year, Instagram feeds around the world are filled with users’ Spotify Wrapped data, creating a little competition around how many hours of music you and your friends listened to. Daylist is the update you need to get to know your music taste even better (and hopefully help your Wrapped inspire envy at the end of the year).
How does the Spotify Daylist work?
Daylist features colorful playlist images, with a rising sun to start your day off strong, and a calming moon for late night listens. Your daylist will update with a new title for each part of your day, like “bedroom pop banger early morning” if you listen to upbeat music on Monday mornings. It’ll also let you know the genres and music types you tend to listen to during that time of day. Gone are the days when you had to search for individual songs or playlists to suit your daily mood.
Daylist updates six times per day. There are two morning playlists, one in the afternoon, one for the evening, and two for your nighttime. Daylists are usually a few hours long, so it’s sure to last you until the next update. It brings together the niche music and microgenres you typically stream at certain times of the day and week.
How do I find my Daylist?
To unlock your Daylist, all you have to do is search “daylist” on your devices with Spotify or go to the Spotify website. You can also save your Daylist to your Library for easier access to the playlist in the future. You should know, however, that even when your Daylist is in your Library, it will still update to the next playlist automatically. If you really like one of the playlist versions, you might want to create your own duplicate of it to save it! Just tap “…” and scroll down to “Add to playlist,” tap “New playlist,” and create.
You can also share your Daylist with your friends over socials with personalized stickers and sharecards, to show off your music taste. Free and premium users get access to Daylist throughout the United States, Canada, United Kingdom, Ireland, Australia, and New Zealand.
It will be so fun to see your friends’ music tastes shifting throughout the day, especially if you and your group love to share new music.
