YouTube announced a new update to YouTube Music today, 10th November 2020; one that introduces new personalisation features. The music streaming app is making a few changes to its Home tab; and it allows you to listen to a set of personalised playlists as well as access songs based on your current activity.

The personalised playlists, called ‘My Mix’, provides up to seven new and personalised set of songs; all of which will be available on the Home tab. The playlists contain songs from various artists, curated according to your taste. The curated lists also combine your favorite songs with new ones that might capture your interest. YouTube Music is also rebranding its ‘Your Mix’ playlists into ‘My Supermix’, which blends your favorite songs in a single library.

Another change to the app’s Home tab is the activity bar that provides access to four types of activity, including Workout; Focus; Relax; and Commute. Tapping on each activity icon will lead you to a dedicated personalised homepage containing playlists that match what you’re doing at a given moment. In addition, the Workout tab includes up to four new personalised mixes featuring songs you already like on top of new recommendations. These filters were first seen in September as part of a test.

The latest changes are YouTube’s way of taking on Spotify and other music streaming apps; in terms of bringing personalisation options to users. It remains to be seen whether these new features will help bolster YouTube Music’s market adoption.
