Spotify’s next big feature may let users add songs in a real-time playlist

New Delhi: Music streaming service Spotify is soon going to unveil a new feature, ‘Social Listening’ which will enable people to add music to a real-time playlist.

The feature is first of a kind where multiple users can add to a playlist. One just has to scan the QR-style Spotify Social Listening code, and then anyone can add to the real-time playlist. The new feature could give the app a viral growth, as users could urge others to download Spotify to sync up.

The upcoming feature of Spotify can further increase the competition among other music apps like Apple Music, YouTube Music, Tidal and other competing streaming services. Spotify already offers Collaborative Playlists friends can add to, but Social Listening is designed for real-time sharing.
