In addition to providing a high-quality music streaming service, Spotify also offers many features that allow you to interact with your friends over music, and such features have helped Spotify stay ahead of the competition. One such feature is called Spotify Blend, and we’ll explain everything you need to know about the feature and how to create a Spotify Blend Playlist with your friends.
Since Spotify doesn’t advertise this feature much, we don’t blame you if you don’t know about it. Let’s first understand what this feature is about, then move on to how you can use it with your friends and family.
What is Spotify Blend?
We all have close friends and family members with whom we often share music. And whenever we spot a great song, we make sure the link stays in their inbox even before the song turns to the chorus.
So would it be great to create playlists with such friends, mix their favorite songs with yours, keep it all in one place? Besides, this is a great idea to play music on the go and everyone can listen to the songs they like. Well, this is exactly what the company calls Spotify Blend.
In simpler terms, a Spotify Blend playlist is a collaborative playlist that you can create with your friends.
How to create a Spotify Blend playlist with family and friends
