The right travel playlist can perfectly set the tone for a roadtrip and to help people with curating all the best tracks, Spotify developed a handy tool called Soundtrack Your Ride. The algorithmic playlist generator helps to create a list of songs for a Spotify user based on questions, such as their starting point, destination and the length of their trip. Beyond this, the playlist generator also considers travel companions like pets, partners, kids, or if a traveler will be making a solo journey.
After selecting a "drive vibe" and naming their "ultimate driving song"—from options like Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody or Sucker by the Jonas Brothers—users are able to get a personalized roadtrip playlist that's automatically added to their playlists on Spotify for easy listening.
