If the answer is yes, you share a common pain point with a lot of loyal subscribers around the world, but that's about to change as Spotify is expanding its digital maestro to more regions finally!

After years of only being available in select markets around the world, many subscribers have taken to social media to voice their frustrations (you can see an example of these types of posts below). But that's now changing, as Spotify has finally announced that it will be launching AI DJ in more countries. I really like the implementation of AI DJ, but it feels a bit basic. Here are some of my ideas to make it feel better. from r/truespotify Starting today, Premium users in a handful of European regions will be
getting the AI DJ treatment, including Austria, France, Germany, Italy, Portugal, and Switzerland. The feature is also rolling out to users in Brazil and South Korea.

In addition to the feature coming to more countries, Spotify is also
expanding its language availability to French, German, Italian, and Brazilian Portuguese, making it a lot easier for you to cast your voice requests to DJ in your mother tongue.

Its been quite the slow rollout for one of the best music streaming service's most popular features. Aside from unsupported languages, users around the world have been left bewildered with its slow launch given that AI DJ has
been a flagship Spotify feature for the best part of three years. (Image credit: Spotify) When Spotify first launched AI DJ back in early 2023 , it
was only available to Premium subscribers in the US and Canada at first. Shortly after, Spotify expanded AI DJs accessibility to music fans in the UK and Ireland, followed by a wider rollout to Australia and New Zealand, as
well as select markets in Europe, Asia, and Africa.

Even then, AI DJs availability still felt quite restrictive and despite these expansions, a lot of users in bigger markets were still left out of the equation. This has mainly affected Premium subscribers in European markets such as France and Germany, and Spotify subscribers havent shied from expressing their annoyances.

One Redditor recently said: "I got a notification saying the DJ was there... so I clicked on it, and it said it wasn't available in my country." Hopefully these frustrations can be put to bed now that Spotify is bringing AI DJ to
the countries that have been missing out.

We reached out to Spotify who gave us more insight to why AI DJ has taken its time to roll out to more markets, who shared the following:

"To build DJ, we want it to feel like a native experience. So, we went
through over 100 auditions, selecting voice talent that felt authentic to
each market. From there, the team worked with local teams to help shape each DJ's personality making sure the tone, warmth, and cultural nuance felt genuinely local, not just translated".

Additionally, the platform also teased new AI DJ developments that are in the pipeline: "Our plan is to continue to gather listener feedback and enhance
the DJ experience to make it more interactive for our listeners". Follow TechRadar on Google News and add us as a preferred source to get our expert news, reviews, and opinion in your feeds.
