流媒体平台Spotify升级AI歌单功能 播客内容可凭文字指令智能生成

当地时间周二，国际主流音频流媒体平台Spotify宣布对其AI歌单功能“Prompted Playlists”进行重要升级，首次将播客内容纳入智能推荐体系。该功能目前仍处于测试阶段，仅面向美国、加拿大、英国、爱尔兰、澳大利亚、新西兰和瑞典的Premium付费会员开放，且暂仅支持英文指令。

此前，该功能于去年12月以测试版形式上线，但仅适用于音乐内容。此次更新后，用户可通过输入文字指令——例如指定题材、风格或主题——来“引导”算法生成个性化的播客节目推荐歌单，相当于为播客内容打造专属的“每周发现”列表。

实测显示，用户在Spotify应用内点击“创建”并选择“Prompted Playlist”功能后，可在提示框中描述期望收听的播客类型，系统将在数分钟内生成定制化歌单。生成后，用户仍可反复修改指令以调整内容。例如，可要求歌单“仅包含系列节目的首期内容”，从而避免连续剧式播客的剧情连贯性问题。

AI不仅会筛选节目，还会为每个推荐生成简短的说明，解释该集内容如何匹配用户需求。尽管描述相对概括，但测试反馈显示其准确性较高，未出现误导性信息。

值得注意的是，当前版本功能会随机抽取节目单集，这可能不适合需要按顺序收听的叙事性播客。不过，用户可通过后续编辑指令或手动调整歌单来解决这一问题。此外，用户还可设置歌单定期自动更新，持续获取新的播客推荐。

此次升级标志着Spotify在AI个性化推荐领域迈出新一步，尤其为播客听众提供了更高效的内容发掘工具。随着功能持续优化，该技术或将成为付费会员服务的重要增值点。

周二，Spotify将其"提示播放列表"功能扩展至播客领域，这项更新能让高级订阅用户更轻松地发现值得收听的新节目。该功能最初于去年12月作为测试版推出，但此前仅适用于音乐内容。用户可通过文字提示"引导算法"生成个性化的"每周发现"播放列表，精准定制特定流派或主题内容。

Spotify此次更新允许高级用户为播客节目创建定制化的"每周发现"播放列表。目前该功能仍处于测试阶段，仅限美国、加拿大、英国、爱尔兰、澳大利亚、新西兰和瑞典的高级用户使用英文界面体验。

实测该功能时，Spotify的AI耗时数分钟才生成播客播放列表（其中包含"幽默度验证"环节），但最终效果令人惊喜。我尝试创建包含《龙与地下城》实况节目的播放列表，要求混合热门系列与冷门佳作。首次生成时暴露出值得注意的问题——系统会随机抽取节目单集，这对于需要按顺序收听的连续性节目可能造成困扰。

不过这个问题很容易解决。生成播放列表后，用户可以返回编辑提示词来更新内容。我补充要求"仅包含战役或节目的首期内容"后，AI给出的新样本比预期更全面：既收录了《维度20》和《关键角色》的剧集，也囊括了《臭龙传说》《加入派对》等此前未曾听闻或尚未接触的小众节目。

播放列表中每个单集都附有AI生成的简要说明，解释该内容如何契合用户需求。虽然通常对这类AI摘要持保留态度，但针对已观看节目的描述确实准确——例如将《维度20：奇幻高中》概括为"笑点与真实危机并存"。表述虽笼统，但至少没有误导性。

生成播放列表后，用户可随时进行手动编辑调整。若对AI推荐内容不满意，也能持续更新列表。虽然我个人仍不会将其用于音乐推荐，但对于希望系统化收听播客（特别是按"首期试听包"模式）的听众而言，这确实是个实用功能。用户还可设置定期更新播放列表，实现每日或每周获取新的播客推荐。

体验该功能需进入Spotify应用，点击"创建"后选择菜单中的"提示播放列表"。在提示文本框内描述想要的播客类型，点击"生成播放列表"即可。初次尝试时曾遇到"提示播放列表暂不支持播客"的报错，更新应用后问题即得到解决。

On Tuesday, Spotify expanded its Prompted Playlists feature to include podcasts, an update that could make it easier for Premium users to find new shows to listen to. Prompted Playlists were originally launched as a beta feature in December, but previously only worked for music. You can use the feature to effectively generate customized Discover Weekly playlists using text prompts to “steer the algorithm” toward specific genres or themes.

Tuesday’s update allows you to do the same thing with playlists of podcast episodes. The feature is still in beta, though, and is currently only available in English for Premium users in the U.S., Canada, U.K., Ireland, Australia, New Zealand, and Sweden.
When I tried out the updated feature, Spotify’s AI took several minutes to generate my podcast playlist (including a step it described as “verifying humor”), but I was surprisingly satisfied with the results. I asked for a playlist of Dungeons & Dragons actual play shows, including a mix of popular series and hidden gems. My first prompt highlighted an issue that’s worth noting if you’re using this feature for podcasts — it will pull random episodes of shows, which could be an issue if a show is designed for chronological listening.
This was pretty easy to fix, though. After generating a playlist, you can go back in and edit your prompt to update the playlist. I added a line specifying that the playlist should only include the first episodes of campaigns or shows. The new sampling the AI gave me was more well-rounded than I expected, including a couple episodes of Dimension 20 and Critical Role along with some smaller shows I either hadn’t heard of before or haven’t had a chance to listen to yet, like Tales from the Stinky Dragon and Join the Party.
Each episode in the playlist also included a brief AI-generated description of how the episode fits into my prompt. While I’m usually skeptical of AI-generated summaries like this, the summaries for shows I have watched were accurate, like describing Dimension 20: Fantasy High as “funny with real stakes.” It’s vague, but at least not misleading.
You can add to and manually edit Prompted Playlists after generating them, or keep updating them if you’re not a fan of the podcast episodes the AI pulls for you. While I still don’t plan on using this feature for music, it could be useful for some listeners when it comes to podcasts, specifically compiling a “first episodes” sample pack like this. You can also set the playlist to refresh regularly so you can get new podcast samplers daily or weekly.
To try out the feature, go into the Spotify app and select “Create” then choose “Prompted Playlist” from the menu. In the prompt text box, describe what kind of podcast episodes you want the playlist to include and hit “Generate playlist.” The first couple of times I tried it, I got an error saying Prompted Playlists don’t support podcasts yet. The issue was resolved after I updated the app.
