How to Make a Spotify Blend & Manage It Easily [3 Ways]

If you have ever tried to make a collaborative playlist with your friends, you must know how frustrating it can be to get everyone on the same page about the songs, mood, or even the playlist’s name. However, Spotify Blend gives a new meaning to group listening.

Spotify Blend works by creating a shared playlist between you and your friends that blends different music tastes into one. Since most users aren’t aware of this feature, it can be confusing to figure things out at first. That’s why in this article we will explore what exactly Spotify Blend is and how you can make one.

What is Spotify Blend?

Spotify Blend is one of Spotify’s lesser-known features that allows up to 10 people to collaborate and build new and exciting playlists together. What makes the feature special is its ability to generate songs for your playlists according to your listening habits instead of having to manually add them.

With Spotify Blend, you and your friend can even check how similar your music taste is with the help of the “test match score” feature that highlights music similarities using Spotify’s funky infographics. Spotify Blend is a free-to-use feature for premium and non-premium members and can be accessed by all group members.

Now that we know what Spotify Blend is, it’s time to make one with your friends or family members. When it comes to creating a Blend, you can access the tab in three different ways. Let’s break all three of them down.

1. Using Your Library Tab

One of the simplest methods to creating your Blend is through the “Your Library” section. Here’s how to create a Spotify Blend using the Library tab:

5. Once your friend joins your Blend playlist, it should show up under your library with both of your names as the default title.

Another way to create a Spotify Blend is by simply searching for it on the Spotify search bar and from there just tap on a few options. Here’s how to create a Spotify Blend using the Spotify search bar:

5. Once your friend accepts the link, your Spotify Blend playlists should appear under the Made For Us tab with you and your friend’s name as the default title. 
   

   

3. Using Spotify Browse All Section

The third method to creating a Spotify Blend is through the Browse All option available on your Spotify app. Here’s how to create a Spotify Blend using the browse all section:

How to Create a Spotify Artist Blend

In addition to creating Blend playlists with your friends, you can also learn more about your favorite artist’s music preferences through Spotify Artist Blend. This means that you can not only compare and check your music taste with other famous musicians but also combine your tastes into one playlist.

However, your artist blend will mostly contain several of the artist’s own songs with a few exceptions that aren’t in your library. Additionally, only a limited number of artists are available to create blends through links published by Spotify.

Here’s a quick rundown to creating a Spotify artist blend playlist:

1. Open up the Spotify app and head to the Search bar.
   

   

2. Here, search for Blend and a few recommended blends of artists will show up you can choose from. If you can’t find any good one, you can also use the links from the Spotify website.
   

   

3. Once you tap from the search results or open up the link, your Spotify artist blend will be generated. 
   

   

4. And that’s pretty much it! If you want to add the blend to your library tap on the plus icon.
   

   

It’s important to remember that artist blends can only be accessed by you and can’t be shared with other friends and family.

Managing Your Spotify Blend Playlist

Once you have created your Spotify Blend playlist you can also edit and manage settings like adding members, renaming the playlist, removing songs, and leaving blend playlists. Let’s take a closer look at how you can use each one of them.

1. Add More Friends To Your Current Blend

You can even add more members to your Spotify Blend to truly make a mix of different genres and tastes to spice things up further.

Here’s how to add members to your Spotify Blend:

1. Open up your Blend playlist and tap on the small person icon.
   

   

2. This will open a small menu with your current members and an option to add more. Here, tap on the Invite more button to send a link to your friends.
   

   

2. Rename Your Spotify Blend Playlist

One of the best parts about making playlists is coming up with a name that holds meaning for all the members and also shows a quick idea of what your Spotify Blend explores. Here’s how to rename your Spotify Blend:

1. Head to your Spotify Blend playlist and tap on the three-dot icon.
   

   

2. From the menu, tap on the Edit name option.
   

   

3. Now, give your Blend a new name and press the Done button when you are good to go.
   

   

3. Remove Songs From Your Spotify Blend

As Spotify also recommends songs in your Blend playlist, it can sometimes bring a few additions that you might not listen to anymore. If that’s the case, here’s how you can remove specific songs in your Spotify Blend:

1. Open up your Spotify Blend and look for the song you want to hide.
2. Once you have it, tap on the three dots next to it.
   

   

3. From here, tap on the Remove from this playlist option.

Here’s how to leave your Spotify Blend:

1. Launch your Spotify app and head to your blend playlist.
2. Here, tap on the three dots at the top.
   

   

3. Now, tap on the Leave Blend option and your blend playlist will be removed.
   
   

   

Spotify Blend and Collaborative Playlists – What’s the Difference?

Collaborative playlists are another way to create music jams with your friends. However, what makes them different from Spotify Blend is that in collaborative playlists you and your friends have to manually add songs to keep things going.

On the other hand, with Spotify Blend, Spotify does all the hard work for you, and you can just sit back and enjoy music with your friends.
