Spotify launches Taste Profile editing in beta

Spotify is letting users edit their recommendation algorithm for the first time through a new Taste Profile feature in beta. The tool gives users direct control over the musical attributes and genres that inform their personalized recommendations. The Taste Profile displays the preferences Spotify has inferred from listening history and allows users to adjust or override them. Users can dial up or down their affinity for specific genres, moods, and eras. The feature represents a shift toward algorithmic transparency in streaming, where platforms have historically kept their recommendation logic opaque.
