Spotify is giving users a new way to personalize their playlists with \u201cUser Notes,\u201d a feature that lets them add their own notes to individual tracks, the company announced on Thursday. <\/p>\n

The streaming service says the new feature is designed to let users add personal captions to their favorite songs, such as noting why a track was added to a playlist or when they first discovered it. For example, you could note that you discovered a specific track while walking the streets of Paris on vacation or that it was playing during a first date.<\/p>\n

The launch reflects Spotify\u2019s efforts to make playlists feel more personal by giving users a way to preserve the memories tied to the songs they listen to. It also helps Spotify differentiate itself from rivals like Apple Music and YouTube Music by offering a journaling-like feature that goes beyond music discovery and isn\u2019t available on other platforms. <\/p>\n

\u201cOver time, these notes paint a picture of the music listeners love and the moments that shaped it,\u201d the company said in an email to TechCrunch. \u201cUser Notes transforms playlists from a collection of songs into a more personal space for music discovery \u2014 bringing together personalization and added context around the music that listeners love.\u201d<\/p>\n

The new feature is available to users who are 16 and older on both free and premium plans in select markets. <\/p>\n

Users can access the new feature by navigating to a playlist they\u2019ve created or one containing tracks they\u2019ve added, tapping the three-dot menu next to a song, and selecting \u201cAdd note.\u201d From there, they can type a note and then save it. The note will then be visible to anyone who can see the playlist, with their name linking to their profile.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s worth noting that User Notes isn\u2019t the only feature Spotify announced on Thursday, as the company also debuted a new Running Mode<\/a> that cues up songs based on different phases of a run and selects tracks based on a user\u2019s preferences and pace. The feature is available to premium users in select countries.<\/p>\n
