Spotify is testing "Your Offline Mix," a feature that automatically downloads recently played songs for offline listening. While CEO Daniel Ek shared a screenshot of the feature, he didn't provide a release date or further details. Similar to YouTube Music's "Smart Downloads," Spotify's feature auto-selects and downloads a mix of recently played songs for when there's no internet connection, such as flying. - According to Ek's screenshot, the offline mix can store at least three-and-a-half hours of music.
- Some users report already seeing the Spotify feature in their apps.
- Those without access can manually download the "Your Top Songs" playlist as a backup option.
- Spotify recently surpassed 500 million monthly active users.
Related: - On Monday, Spotify said it is laying off 200 employees in its podcast division as part of a strategic realignment.
- The cuts account for around 2% of its workforce and follow a previous 6% staff cut in January due to a decline in ad spending.
