Spotify's AI DJ gets nine new voices and a switch to turn off the commentary
Premium listeners in existing DJ markets can pick new accents and Spanish voices, or silence the talk between songs, as the update rolls out.
Spotify announced on November 10 that its AI DJ feature is getting nine new voices and a control for commentary. According to coverage of the announcement, seven of the voices speak English with American, British, Irish, Australian and Indian accents, and two speak Spanish, named Nico and Fabi.
A new toggle lets Premium listeners turn off the commentary between songs. A short acknowledgment still plays when the DJ starts or when the listener changes direction. The original DJ voice, known as X, remains available.
The features are rolling out to Premium users in markets where the DJ already exists. Listeners can find them by searching for DJ in the mobile app and opening the three-dot menu. Spotify has not said when every eligible user will have them, and one outlet reports the Spanish options replace the earlier voice, which other coverage does not say.
The change answers a long-running request: Spotify's community forums have carried threads since 2023 from users asking to disable the DJ's voice.
