Spotify’s newest feature makes playlists sound better

There’s some serious competition happening right now between music streaming services to make transitions between songs sound better. Spotify’s new Smart Reorder feature continues that push.

Spotify is giving Premium subscribers the ability to intelligently reorder songs in a playlist based on two factors that will improve flow between songs: beats per minute and key.

Smart Reorder automatically taps into these music elements so tracks on a playlist with similar speed and sound can stay together and offer smoother transitions.

Here’s how the feature looks in action:

Spotify says it’s a simple two-step process:

1. Tap Mix on one of your playlists and then tap Edit to find Smart Reorder.
2. Tracks are now reordered with BPM and key so that your transitions sound better.

The feature builds on Spotify’s ability to add and adjust transition points in tracks from last fall.

Apple Music upgraded song transitions in a huge way with AutoMix as part of iOS 26 — no manual input required.
