Spotify on Wednesday announced an update to its app designed to give users more control over their listening experience and recommendations. The refreshed experience introduces a handful of new features that will roll out gradually to Spotify users and Premium subscribers, including those to help you manage your Queue, your current listening experience, aid with playlist creation, and more.

The changes help to balance out an app that often leans heavily on algorithmic recommendations to suggest and play music by instead giving users the power to shape what’s played, when, and how often.

For Premium users, Spotify’s Queue has been revamped. The new design provides easier access to controls like Shuffle, Smart Shuffle, Repeat, and Sleep Timer, the company says. Smart Shuffle and Autoplay can also be switched fully off from Spotify’s Settings, if preferred.
