However, the tool is still under discussion, and Spotify may limit access to it to users who subscribe to its new Spotify"Music Pro" premium plan, as licensing agreements need to be worked out.

According to a report by TechCrunch research, the streaming service is indeed working on such features. The report notes that Spotify could be working on several features, including a playlist tuner that will allow users to create a mix by filtering songs by genre, mood, activity, and more.

Another feature could allow users to flex their DJ skills by creating different transition styles to make the ultimate mix. The code also suggests that users could generate mixes for specific events like house parties or workouts, and even quickly bend in the next track to keep the energy going.

This new feature could also benefit artists and music labels, as they could finally get paid for their songs while users get to alter their favourite tracks as per their preferences and in a more seamless manner. With the rise of altered and sped-up songs on social media platforms like TikTok and Instagram, artists and music labels are shifting to releasing their officially sped-up versions of the same track to dissuade users from listening to the altered tracks.
