Spotify is rolling out two new features this week: User Notes and Running Mode. The update adds one tool focused on workouts and another designed to give listeners a new way to leave notes within the service.
Running Mode is aimed at exercise sessions. According to the description, it can automatically match songs and playlists to the pace of a workout, which suggests Spotify is trying to make music selection more responsive while someone is running or training.
User Notes appears to be a separate addition that lets people leave notes. While the trimmed report does not detail every use case, the feature points to a more interactive listening experience beyond simply saving tracks or building playlists.
Together, the two additions show Spotify expanding its app in practical ways: one feature is built around movement and workout pacing, while the other adds a layer of personal input. As the rollout continues, users will be watching to see how widely and quickly both tools become available.
