  • Spotify Update: Music Streaming Platform Adds One-Button Voice Isolation Feature for Podcast Creators

    Spotify Update: Music Streaming Platform Adds One-Button Voice Isolation Feature for Podcast Creators

    San Francisco, November 22 : Music streaming platform Spotify has added a one-button voice isolation feature in its Anchor app for podcast creators. With the feature called Podcast Audio Enhancement, podcast creators will be able to record in noisy environments and without expensive gear.

    The feature is activated by pressing a single button in the Anchor app which will eliminate background noise, bringing the user’s voice to the forefront, according to a blogpost. Users can simply record in the Anchor mobile app and tap ‘Enhance’ to significantly reduce background noise for a clearer-sounding episode. Spotify Introduces New Apple Watch App With Larger Controls And Swipe Gestures to Enhance User Experience.

    So, if a user wants to record their latest episode on a crowded convention floor or at home with barking dogs or crying babies, they can, said the blogpost. In addition, the Anchor app allows users to toggle the feature on and off during playback to compare the results.

    However, Spotify is not the only Big Tech company investing in voice isolation, as AI advances improve filtration without costly dynamic microphones, according to the report. For example, Zoom and Google Meet offer background noise reduction tech in virtual-meeting apps. Spotify, Google Starts Testing ‘User Choice Billing’ To Offer Alternative In-App Purchase Experience on Android Devices.

    The feature is available for creators for free around the world in the Anchor mobile app on iOS and Android. Spotify paid over $150 million for Anchor in 2019 and has since used it to make podcast creation as simple and effortless as possible.

  • Spotify Acquires Interactive Music Trivia Game Heardle

    San Francisco: Popular music streaming platform Spotify has announced that it has acquired an interactive music trivia game Heardle. The platform said that they see Heardle also as a tool for musical discovery. Spotify Introduces Live Audio Programmes & Rebrands Greenroom App As Spotify Live.

    “Playing Heardle might just help you to rediscover old tracks you may have thought you would forgotten, discover amazing new artists, or finally put a title to that wordless melody you have had caught in your head forever,” the platform said in a statement.

    Heardle is a simple but endlessly challenging game. Players are tasked with guessing a song based on its opening notes. They get six guesses, with each hint giving a few more seconds of music to inform their next answer. Ultimately, they get a chance to discover the song in its entirety, whether or not they guessed it correctly.

    “We are always looking for innovative and playful ways to enhance music discovery and help artists reach new fans,” said Jeremy Erlich, Global Head of Music, Spotify.

    For existing Heardle players, the look and feel of the game will stay the same, and it’ll remain free to play for everyone. Players can now also listen to the full song on Spotify at the end of the game. The company said that it is starting with users in the US, the UK, Ireland, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand.

  • Spotify to Reduce New Hiring by 25% Amid Economic Uncertainty

    San Francisco, June 16: Swedish music streaming giant Spotify is reportedly reducing new hiring by at least 25 per cent as tech companies navigate through volatile market conditions globally.

    According to media reports, Spotify is reducing hiring as recession fears mount.

    It is, however, unclear which parts of the business will be most affected at Spotify, reports The Verge.

    Spotify had more than 6,600 employees at the end of 2021, according to a filing with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Spotify To Shut Down Its Radio-Like Listening App Stations on May 16

    Although the market may force the company to slow its ambitions, Ek said in the staff memo that the company will still add headcount.

    Spotify CEO Daniel Ek said last week spoke about the company’s growth not only in subscriptions but in verticals beyond music like podcasting and, soon, audiobooks. Spotify Introduces Live Audio Programmes & Rebrands Greenroom App As Spotify Live

    At an investor presentation, chief financial officer Paul Vogel said that they are “clearly aware of the increasing uncertainty regarding the global economy”.

    “And while we have yet to see any material impact to our business, we are keeping a close eye on the situation and evaluating our headcount growth in the near term,” Vogel had reportedly said.

    Spotify last month shut its lightweight listening app ‘Spotify Stations’.

    The ‘Stations’ app was originally designed for those who want a more radio-like experience, rather than having to seek out music or customise their own playlists.

    Spotify co-founder and CEO Ek also announced to invest $50 million into his own music streaming service, saying that the “best days are ahead”.

    The music streaming service’s premium subscribers jumped 15 per cent (on-year) to reach 182 million in the first quarter (Q1) of 2022, up from 180 million in the previous quarter, despite the Joe Rogan controversy involving Covid misinformation on his podcast.

  • Spotify Starts Testing NFT Galleries on Artist Pages: Report

    San Francisco: Music streaming giant Spotify has likely started testing non-fungible token (NFT) galleries on artist pages. According to The Verge, the music streaming platform has rolled out the test for some users on Android in the US and currently includes NFT previews for artists like Steve Aoki and The Wombats. Spotify Introduces Live Audio Programmes & Rebrands Greenroom App As Spotify Live.

    “Spotify is running a test in which it will help a small group of artists promote their existing third-party NFT offerings via their artist profiles,” a company spokesperson said in a statement to Music Ally. “We routinely conduct a number of tests in an effort to improve artist and fan experiences. Some of those tests end up paving the way for a broader experience and others serve only as an important learning.”

    Spotify did not immediately respond to The Verge’s request for comment. The report mentioned that Spotify will also give users the option to “See More”, which directs them to the NFT’s page on OpenSea where they can purchase it. But Spotify does not seem to support NFTs that are videos or GIFs.

    It only shows a static image of the NFT in the app, not the full video. It also does not include sound, which is kind of strange for a music streaming platform. Users can only listen to the NFT or see if it is a video or GIF by clicking through its page on OpenSea. According to Music Ally, Spotify will not collect a commission for any NFT sales made through the app and is just testing the integration.

    Washington, May 7: Spotify’s radio-like listening app stations will not be available anymore. As per TechCrunch, Spotify Stations, the streaming service’s lightweight listening app offering easy access to curated playlists, will shut down on May 16.

    “At Spotify, we routinely conduct a number of experiments to create better listening experiences for our users.

We will be sunsetting the current feature, but users will be able to easily transfer their favorite stations and enjoy a similar radio experience directly within the Spotify app,” a spokesperson for Spotify said in a statement. BTS Suga’s Spotify Account Gets Hacked!

  • Spotify Introduces Live Audio Programmes & Rebrands Greenroom App As Spotify Live

    San Francisco: Music streaming platform Spotify has announced that it is changing the name of Greenroom to Spotify Live and bringing its live capabilities directly onto the Spotify app. Spotify Live can now be found both as the stand-alone app listeners and hosts know and love, and as a livestream function in the Spotify app alongside your favourite music and podcasts. Spotify Reportedly Shuts Russia Office, Removes Content From RT & Sputnik.

    To start, the company said it is making live audio in the Spotify app available for select original programming. Independent creators who wish to go live can still do so in the Spotify Live app.

    “To kick off this exciting evolution of our live-audio offering, we will be highlighting our top audio creators through exclusive, first-of-its-kind programming in addition to the full slate of original programming we have already introduced,” the company said.
