Amazon Music: Enhancing the Listening Experience with AI and "Weekly Vibe"

Introduction and New Amazon Music Features

In the context of increasing competition in the world of music streaming, and after Spotify introduced its AI-powered DJ feature in February 2023 (Source), Amazon Music is striving to enhance its presence by developing a set of innovative features supported by artificial intelligence.

These features include automatically generated playlists powered by AI and advanced search services also powered by AI, aiming to provide a unique and competitive listening experience.

Amazon Music currently offers a new innovative feature known as "Weekly Vibe" (الأجواء الأسبوعية), designed to deepen personalization in the listening experience. This feature is available to all subscribers in the United States and can be accessed today via the Amazon Music app on both iOS and Android systems.

"Weekly Vibe": Renewed Personalization for the Listening Experience

To address the recurring challenge faced by music streaming service users – the boredom of repetitive songs – the "Weekly Vibe" feature aims to ensure continuous renewal of playlists weekly. The company explains that "Weekly Vibe" leverages AI technologies every Monday to deliver highly personalized playlists, taking into account the user's recent listening patterns and evolving musical preferences. Furthermore, this feature suggests new and similar-taste music, enriching users' music discovery experience.

To access your personalized playlist "Weekly Vibe," users can navigate to the "Library" section at the bottom of the screen, then select the "Made for You" option. There, the week's playlist will appear, featuring a unique title, a detailed description, and a carefully curated selection of songs. Each playlist focuses on a specific category or music genre, such as a collection of hip-hop songs or popular trending tracks. The feature also allows users to share these playlists with friends, easily publish them on social media, and save them to their personal library for later listening.

'Maestro' Technology and 'Explore' Feature

The "Weekly Vibe" feature is based on "Maestro" technology, the leading playlist generator from Amazon Music, which was launched as a beta version last year. "Maestro" allows users to enter specific prompts, whether expressing their mood or even using random emojis, for AI to then generate playlists tailored to these requests.

Among the latest AI-powered updates on the platform is the "Explore" feature, which allows users to delve deeper into the world of their favorite artists, showcasing their most prominent works and suggesting new artists whose music might align with their tastes.
