How it Works
Spotify analyzes every song in its library and uses that data to give better recommendations to you. Synthetic gives you a finer tuned control over just what you find based on song features you like. Each song is scored from 0-600 (600 being the highest) and the most closely related songs are returned in 30 second previews so you can go through more songs faster.
Adjust the levels of filters on different musical attributes from a specified musical selection. Calculated results are sorted and queued in the player based off of the difference between the input values and each track's actual aggregate statistics. Preview 30 second snippets from the result set and add them to your Spotify library by logging in. Filter by one or more of these metrics:
Energy a measure of intensity/activity based off of dynamic range, loudness, timbre, etc.
Valence the musical positiveness conveyed by a track, higher valence tracks sound happier
Acousticness a confidence measure of acousticness of a track, a higher number represents a higher confidence
Danceability how suitable a track is for dancing, based off of tempo, rhythm stability, and beat strength
Popularity popularity of a track, based off the total number of plays and how recent those plays are
Vocalness how present vocals are in a track, a lower level represents a track that is more instrumental
Genre only available after logging in and selecting the Spotify Library, choose 1-3 genres to find songs that correspond
Tips for Usage
Experiment with different sets of filters on various playlists. Use fewer filters to get more defined results from the playlist you are searching. Extend the music you find by searching by genre across Spotify's entire library with the Spotify Library selection in the arrow menu. Try out some of these ideas to get started:
Upbeat Hipster cycle through the playlists to find the Hipster Synthpop playlist, and calculate using the energy filter at a value of 100 and turn off all other filters by clicking the blue buttons next to each filter's row.
Bass Heavy Dance use the Subwoofer Soundbombs playlist and set the acoustic filter at 0, and the dance filter at 100. Turn off all other filters.
Underground Folk use the Chill Folk playlist and turn down popularity below 20 and mix in other filters for your own style of soft songs.
Intense Work Out login with a Spotify account, find the Spotify Library selection in the arrow menu and filter by high energy and vocalness values. Choose work-out from the genre dropdown and preview the results.
