Have You Noticed the Latest Rating Feature on Spotify?

The new rating feature for podcasts is being rolled out by popular music streaming platform Spotify. The company is trying to help users find good podcasts. Users will be able to give a podcast rating out of five stars after listening to it. The new rating feature will show users better podcasts with the company's podcast charts recommendation feature. The average rating of the podcast will also be shown on the show's page.

The company gave information in the blog post

Spotify has revealed the new feature in a blog post and said that a rating system is being rolled out for podcasts. The company has said that a 'two-way feedback loop' will be created between creators and listeners with the new podcast rating feature. This way listeners will be able to support their favorite podcasts. Creators will get the option to view ratings after their show gets more than 10 ratings.

Ratings will be available only after hearing

The company believes that both creating podcasts and listening will benefit from the new rating feature. Creators will be able to see how many people are listening and liking their show. Also, more listeners will prefer podcasts with better ratings. The good thing is that you will get the option to rate the podcast only after listening to it for at least 30 seconds.

Everyone will get the feature in the next few days

Spotify has said that the new feature will be rolled out in the next few days for all markets where podcasts are available. Users who want to rate a podcast will have to tap the ratings on the show's page. Tapping the three dots on the podcast cover art will also give you the option to rate. The company has asked podcast owners to share more users about the feature.
