Spotify Blend Playlists: What It Is and How to Use

Spotify Blend playlists show how your music taste connects with friends, family, and even artists like Post Malone, AR Rahman, and Miley Cyrus. You don’t just see what you both enjoy, you also get to listen together.

Starting is simple. Just choose to Blend, send out invites, and let Spotify handle the rest. Plus, Premium isn’t a requirement. This guide unpacks Spotify Blend all, from explaining it to crafting your first Blend. We’ll also show you how to make a blend offline by saving it as MP3 files.

Part 1: What is a Spotify Blend Playlist

Blend combines the tastes of two or more users into a single playlist automatically. It is Spotify’s way of uniting friends, colleagues, and even fans with their favorite artists through shared music.

Once you decide to blend with someone, Spotify will create a readymade playlist, curated entirely by its algorithms. You can see how much your music preferences align with theirs. Match scores offer a glimpse into shared vibes and the track list refreshes daily as the groups’ listening habits evolve.

How Does Spotify Blend Work

Spotify’s algorithms handle all the heavy lifting. Like Spotify’s Made for You playlists, a Blend is an intelligent fusion of everyone’s tastes and habits. However, instead of catering to just one user’s preferences, it balances inputs from all participants.

Each Blend allows up to ten participants. And the track list stays uniform for all, meaning that no one can manually tweak the order or add new songs.

What is the Difference between Blend and Collaborative Playlists on Spotify

Though they both bring people together, Blend and Collaborative Playlists work in entirely different ways:

Part 2: How to Make a Spotify Blend Playlist with Friends

Blend originally found its fame in Spotify's Made for You section which is a space dedicated to personal curation. Even today, on the desktop app, you’ll need to navigate to Made for You to create a Blend. But on mobile, Spotify has made it even simpler.

Here’s how to create, share, and access a Spotify blend playlist via the mobile app:

Step 1: Open the Spotify App and Choose the Blend Options

At the very top of your Library, you’ll spot the + icon. Tap it and choose Blend from the bottom menu. This is the easiest way to get started.

Step 2: Invite Friends to Your Blend Playlist

Once you choose the Blend option, Spotify will prompt you to invite others. Tap Invite, copy the unique link, and share it via your favorite messaging app.

Your friends can open the link in their Spotify app and preview the Blend Story. This story shows all participants and teases how your musical tastes align. They’ll only need to tap Join to confirm.

Step 3: Spotify Generates a Blended Playlist

Once someone joins, Spotify does the rest. A personalized Blend playlist will appear. To dive deeper into the playlist, tap the three-dot menu at the top right of the playlist page. Here, you can:

• View Blend Story. (view Match Score highlights)
• Add members or Leave Blend.

Each song will display the avatars of members next to it: tap on it to see whose taste brought the song into the playlist.

Part 3: How to Blend Spotify with Artists

Not all artists support Blend and they won’t directly interact with you. Instead, Spotify highlights Blend-enabled artists in the Made for You and Browse section.

When you join a Blend with an artist, Spotify’s algorithms will align your listening habits with theirs into one playlist. This works much like blending with friends, creating a unique mix that reflects shared tastes. Of course, it’s available to both Free and Premium users. Here are the steps:

Step 1. Find the artist's Blend invite link

You can discover Blend-enabled artists like NiziU, Post Malone, Miley Cyrus via the Spotify’s official list here: Spotify’s Blend Highlights.

Step 2. Tap the link to open the invite on the Spotify app

Tap on the provided link for your chosen artist, which will redirect you to their Blend playlist on the Spotify app. Click the + icon to save the Blend to your library.

Alternatively, you can use the universal search bar and type Blend. It will display Blend-enabled artists alongside the Blend combination available. Once you find a suitable match, click the + icon to add the Blend to your library.

Part 4: How to Download Spotify Blend Playlists as MP3

Blend playlists are available to both Premium and Free users, but Spotify restricts downloads only to paid accounts. StreamFox for Music, the Eassiy All-in-one Music Converter, removes those restrictions completely. It is designed to let you enjoy your music in ways Spotify simply doesn’t allow: save the tracks directly to your computer in high-quality formats. Even MP3 downloads will achieve the highest available bitrate, ensuring exceptional clarity.

Using StreamFox is simple too. Every function will appear in plain sight. The integrated web player eliminates the need for URL copying. Instead, you can navigate Spotify’s library directly within StreamFox. So, it will feel seamless to browse, select, and queue downloads, as they are all done in one place.

StreamFox remains metadata accurate during the song conversion, ensuring that every track carries its identity from Spotify to offline storage. The ID3 tags like album covers, artist names and playlist tags are preserved. Tracks are saved in a structured format, grouped by albums, artists, or titles. So, sorting music downloads won’t require extra effort. All you need to do is a click and your offline library will mirror Spotify in every way: its look, its feel, and its flawless function.

How to Download Spotify Blend Playlists Using StreamFox

Step 1. Install StreamFox on your computer and launch it. The dashboard will feature a lineup of supported platforms. Pick Spotify.

Step 2. Log in to Spotify through StreamFox with your Free or Premium account credentials. Your entire library, including Blend Playlists, will appear instantly for selection.

Step 3. Locate the desired Blend Playlist you want to save and drag it to the red + button to queue it for downloading.

Step 4. Pick your audio preferences. Decide on MP3, FLAC, or other formats and hit Convert All to start saving your playlist.

Step 5. Check the Finished tab, once the download is complete. Select View Output File to see where the Blend playlists are saved on your computer.

Bonus: How to Customize Your Blended Playlist

Spotify Blend playlists don’t offer extensive customization options. Keep in mind they’re designed to evolve automatically. However, you can still make subtle adjustments to improve future recommendations and let Spotify know what you know. Here’s how:

Hide Songs in a Spotify Blend Playlist

Sometimes, a track might feel out of place. Thankfully, you can remove it from your personal listening experience. For this:

• Open the Blend playlist.
• Find the song you’d prefer to skip in the future.
• Tap the three-dot menu (ellipsis) beside the track title.
• Choose Hide this song to exclude it.

You can regularly hide songs that don’t match your mood to inform Spotify of your current interests (from other playlists and artists’ stations too).

Shape Blend Recommendations

Your listening patterns naturally refine the playlist over time. To better align it with your preferences:

• Like songs or playlists on Spotify that resonate with you to signal your tastes.
• Follow the artists you love to influence suggestions further.
• Use Exclude From Your Taste Profile for tracks you enjoy but don’t want to shape your overall recommendation.

Conclusion

Spotify blend playlists are more than just songs, which are shared stories. And now, you have all the knowledge to start creating your own.

StreamFox for Music makes saving Blend playlists offline simple. It allows you to download any Spotify content in high-quality formats, including MP3. Your Blend playlist will remain accessible dsuring road trips or in areas with poor network connectivity.
