Spotify has recently expanded its personalized playlists section. Two new features were added to the platform, which are titled 'Repeat' and 'Repeat Rewind.' The new features are aimed at providing the ability to listen to songs that a user most frequently replayed at one point. Spotify's personalized playlists section makes it unique in its industry, so adding more features to this section will provide customization that other platforms are not able to provide
The Repeat section will give users the ability to listen to their current favorite songs. Repeat will play the songs that a user frequently listen to in the previous 30 days. This feature will also automatically update as users play different music. The Repeat Rewind function will play songs that frequently listened to over a month ago.
