What changes in DJ
Spotify announced new voice choices and commentary controls for DJ on November 10. Seven new English options span American, British, Irish, Australian and Indian accents, while two new options speak Spanish. Existing DJ X is also mentioned in the announcement.
The company says rollout begins November 10 for Premium listeners in markets where DJ already operates. This does not establish that every account has received the controls or that DJ is launching in every Spotify country.
Less commentary does not mean no speech
A new setting lets listeners turn off spoken commentary between songs. Brief acknowledgements remain when starting DJ or pressing its button to change the selection, so the feature does not promise a completely speech-free session.
Where to look for the options
Spotify’s launch instructions say to open the mobile app, search for DJ and use its three-dot menu to choose a voice and commentary setting. Pressing the DJ button can move to a different artist, genre, mood or recommendation set.
The existing support article confirms DJ is a Premium feature and has a language setting. The dated announcement supplies the new voice and commentary details; a missing option on an individual device has not been diagnosed by this report.
The voices being added
The new English voices are Casey, Tess and Lane with American accents, Sam with an Australian accent, Nell with a British accent, Declan with an Irish accent and Nisha with an Indian accent. Nico and Fabi are the new Spanish options.
Spotify does not give a complete country-by-country activation timetable or a separate price for these controls in the launch post. Check the menu on your own eligible Premium account rather than assuming access from the language of a voice.
