Spotify is giving users more control over its AI DJ, one of the company’s earliest AI features. On Tuesday, the streamer said listeners can now choose between different DJ voices and personalities, much as they would pick a voice for an AI assistant. Listeners who want the music without the talk can also turn the commentary down.

What new voices does Spotify's AI DJ offer?

The update expands the voice lineup for Spotify Premium subscribers in English and Spanish. The English options now include seven voices with British, American, Irish, Australian, and Indian accents. Two new Spanish voices have been added.

Each voice comes with its own personality. Among the three American options, Casey is laid-back and warm, Tess is direct with an edge, and Lane has a Southern accent and a youthful energy. On the Spanish side, Nico is more down-to-earth, and Fabi is witty and friendly.

The original voice, “X,” stays in place. It was based on the real voice recordings of a Spotify employee. Fabi and Nico will be the only Spanish voices available, replacing the earlier “Livi.”

Can you limit how much the Spotify AI DJ talks?

The commentary change may matter most to people who use the DJ as background music. Normally, the DJ introduces each selection and explains what it picked and why. Now, users can limit it to brief acknowledgments when they first start the feature and when they turn it off. Spotify said that could help when someone is hosting a party and would otherwise switch to a playlist to avoid the chatter.

How do you change the Spotify AI DJ voice?

To find the settings, search for “DJ” in the search bar of the Spotify app, then tap the three-dot menu to choose a voice and commentary level. To change genres, artists, or recommendations while the DJ is running, users just tap the DJ button again.

The new voices start rolling out Nov. 10 to Premium users in markets where the DJ is already supported. That includes more than 95 markets, where the DJ works in English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, and Brazilian Portuguese.

The DJ remains one of Spotify’s most popular AI features, used by more than 94 million Premium listeners. Since launching it in 2023, the company has added other AI tools. These include a conversational AI agent that users can chat with about music, prompts that fine-tune recommendations, AI-created playlists, and support for third-party agents such as ChatGPT and Claude.
