Spotify says the new option to search for music is available in the UK, Ireland, Australia, New Zealand and Canada.
Spotify states that users will need to scroll up or down through “Personal Preferences” to hear the preview and see the canvas for each song.
Spotify is testing a new feature that will help users find new music in a vertically scrolling format like TikTok. The new feature works with Spotify’s Canvas Loop which essentially plays a short 8-second video in a loop, instead of showing an album cover or artwork. Since the canvas loop remains unavailable in India, the new scrolling feature is also not available. The company said in a blog post that the option to search for music is available in the UK, Ireland, Australia, New Zealand and Canada. Notably, Spotify is also testing a dedicated Podcasts tab to let users discover new series in a similar TikTok-like scrolling fashion.
Speaking on the latest scrolling feature for Spotify’s Canva Loop, the company explains that users will need to scroll up or down through “individual selections” to hear the preview and see the canvas for each song. The idea behind the feature is to persuade the users for it. Share music on social media platforms. Currently, Spotify lets users (also in India) share album artwork on Instagram to let others know what songs/artists they are listening to. The advantage of canvas short videos is that it will look more attractive on Instagram or other story platforms.
