It feels like every time I look at Spotify it's got some new feature that isn't Spotify Hi-Fi . Recently, we saw the new Music Video feature arrive in new markets (apart from the U.S.
), which lets you watch music videos directly from the Spotify now playing screen. Before that there wast the AI playlist builder , which I found took a few tries before it could match my unhinged need for the most evil music known to mankind. Now you can make your own cover art for those AI generated playlists directly in the Spotify app with the 'Create cover art' feature .
It's in Beta at the moment, but both Premium and Free users can give it a go in the playlist three dot menu. I tried it! So that you don't have to. Let's make a cover I take great pride in my playlist production, from my 13-hour drum and bass playlist, to this, my 20-hour death metal monster named, imaginatively, "Creeping Death".
That's nearly a day's worth of the most crushing riffs, spectacular solos, and incomprehensibly fast blast beats — and, as you might also have noticed, it really needs a cover to match its blood soaked horror better than the current grid of album covers. Finding the new creator was easy. Just hop into the three dot menu, scroll down, and find the 'Custom cover art' option.
From there you're given a brief introduction from Spotify the first time you use it, and then you're let loose on the creator itself. It's a remarkably simple affair. The shape and size of the image is already decided for you, .
