Mimicking the functioning of
old-school car radios, Swedish music streaming giant Spotify is
launching a new playlist called "Your Daily Drive" that would bring
music as well as news podcasts to car drivers, The Verge reported on
Wednesday.
The unannounced feature is first reaching Spotify
users in the US where the news podcasts would be provided by The Wall
Street Journal, National Public Radio (NPR) and Public Radio
International.
Details about the global availability of this feature's roll-out remains undisclosed as yet.
Earlier
this month, the music streaming platform began testing five
human-curated podcast-only test playlists. "The Daliy Drive playlist
would also join other Spotify lists in promoting podcasts.
Last
month, Spotify publicly began testing its first hardware ever -- a
voice-controlled smart assistant for cars intending to help the app
learn people's audio habits while they are on the road.
The device is called "Car Thing" and as part of the test, it has been distributed to some US-based premium users for free.
In the US, Spotify has a user-base of over 60 million people.
