Spotify is a constant companion for many people, bringing music and podcasts directly to their ears. A large number of customers listen to the streaming service during their daily commutes by car. It is therefore logical that society wants to position itself as a perfect alternative to radio. So, Spotify announced Wednesday the creation of a new playlist Your Daily Drive, which offers a mix of your favorite music and short news programs.

For now, the playlist is an American exclusive because it consists of newscasts focused on the United States, published by the Wall Street Journal, NPR and PRI. In addition to these short informative transmissions, the new experience also includes mixing your favorite music and Spotify's favorite tracks, just like in its Discover playlists.

If you live in the United States, this feature should already be online and you should see the playlist right in your app. Remember to start it before you start your trip so you do not have to worry about spending time with your phone while driving – stay safe and make good trips!
