What’s happened? The most annoying thing about audiobooks is forgetting where you left off. To solve this, Spotify is rolling out a new audiobook feature called Recap, which gives users a quick audio summary to jump back into a book they have already started.
This is important because: Most audiobook listeners lose the narrative thread when they take a break. Spotify is trying to keep listeners connected to a story, whether they paused for a week, dozed off mid-chapter, or just need a refresher.
Why should I care? If you love audiobooks, Recaps gives you an easy way to get back into the flow of a story, especially when life gets in the way and you return to a book after days or weeks.
OK, what’s next? Spotify has been rolling out a wave of tools, from weekly Listening Stats features to concert alerts for your favorite venues. It is also testing a creator-focused tool called SongDNA, expanding its library of hidden features for Spotify fans.
