Spotify Premium's AI DJ now offers nine new voices, including Indian and Irish accents, and a switch that turns off its talking between songs.
Spotify's AI DJ has new voices, and you can now tell it to stop talking. Premium users in regions where DJ is available can pick from seven new English voices and two Spanish ones. A new toggle also turns off the commentary between songs.
Spotify introduced DJ in 2023. It plays music picked for you and speaks between tracks. The original voice is called DJ X. The seven new English voices have British, American, Irish, Australian and Indian accents. Spanish speakers get two new voice options of their own.
The new toggle keeps the music flowing without the DJ chiming in every few tracks. Spotify says it suits moments like a dinner party. The DJ does not go fully silent. You still hear a quick acknowledgement when you start a session or tap the DJ button to change the mood.
The change is for Spotify Premium listeners where DJ is available. Spotify says more than 94 million Premium listeners use DJ, and 80% of them use it every week.
The material does not say what the voices are called, which regions get DJ, or whether more languages are coming. It also does not give any price beyond the Premium plan.
If you have Spotify Premium, try a new DJ voice, or turn the commentary off when you want plain background music.
