Spotify 推出“用户笔记”功能，让用户为歌曲添加回忆
Spotify is giving users a new way to personalize their playlists with “User Notes,” a feature that lets them add their own notes to individual tracks, the company announced on Thursday. Spotify 周四宣布，公司正在为用户提供一种个性化播放列表的新方式——“用户笔记”（User Notes）。该功能允许用户为单首曲目添加个人备注。
The streaming service says the new feature is designed to let users add personal captions to their favorite songs, such as noting why a track was added to a playlist or when they first discovered it. For example, you could note that you discovered a specific track while walking the streets of Paris on vacation or that it was playing during a first date. 该流媒体服务表示，此功能旨在让用户为喜爱的歌曲添加个人说明，例如记录将某首曲目加入播放列表的原因，或是首次发现它的时间。例如，你可以备注说是在度假时漫步巴黎街头时发现了某首曲目，或者这首歌是在第一次约会时播放的。
The launch reflects Spotify’s efforts to make playlists feel more personal by giving users a way to preserve the memories tied to the songs they listen to. It also helps Spotify differentiate itself from rivals like Apple Music and YouTube Music by offering a journaling-like feature that goes beyond music discovery and isn’t available on other platforms. 此次发布反映了 Spotify 的努力，即通过让用户保存与所听歌曲相关联的回忆，使播放列表更具个人色彩。这也帮助 Spotify 与 Apple Music 和 YouTube Music 等竞争对手区分开来，因为它提供了一种超越音乐发现、且其他平台所不具备的类似日记的功能。
“Over time, these notes paint a picture of the music listeners love and the moments that shaped it,” the company said in an email to TechCrunch. “User Notes transforms playlists from a collection of songs into a more personal space for music discovery — bringing together personalization and added context around the music that listeners love.” “随着时间的推移，这些笔记勾勒出了听众喜爱的音乐以及塑造这些音乐的时刻，”该公司在给 TechCrunch 的电子邮件中表示。“‘用户笔记’将播放列表从单纯的歌曲集合转变为更具个人色彩的音乐发现空间，将个性化与听众所爱音乐的背景信息结合在了一起。”
The new feature is available to users who are 16 and older on both free and premium plans in select markets. Users can access the new feature by navigating to a playlist they’ve created or one containing tracks they’ve added, tapping the three-dot menu next to a song, and selecting “Add note.” From there, they can type a note and then save it. The note will then be visible to anyone who can see the playlist, with their name linking to their profile. 该新功能适用于部分市场中 16 岁及以上的免费和付费用户。用户只需进入自己创建的或包含其添加曲目的播放列表，点击歌曲旁边的三点菜单，选择“添加笔记”（Add note）即可使用。随后，用户可以输入并保存笔记。该笔记将对所有能看到该播放列表的人可见，且笔记旁会显示链接至用户个人资料的名称。
It’s worth noting that User Notes isn’t the only feature Spotify announced on Thursday, as the company also debuted a new Running Mode that cues up songs based on different phases of a run and selects tracks based on a user’s preferences and pace. The feature is available to premium users in select countries. 值得注意的是，“用户笔记”并非 Spotify 周四宣布的唯一功能。该公司还推出了全新的“跑步模式”（Running Mode），该模式会根据跑步的不同阶段编排歌曲，并根据用户的偏好和配速选择曲目。此功能目前仅向部分国家的付费用户开放。
