Spotify is currently testing a new feature to help you plumb the depths of the streaming service's music catalog via playlists to suit any mood, genre preference, activity, or current event soundtrack. A number of people online have stumbled across the new option, called Browse, in the Spotify Web player.

Based on what we've seen from other Spotify users and an earlier report by Gizmodo, the new Browse feature is exactly what you get with Tunigo, a music discovery app Spotify acquired in May. Some users are able to access the new service by navigating to https://play.spotify.com/browse

The Browse tab isn't working for everybody yet.

Others, including one of our intrepid editors, are seeing a Browse option pop-up in the left-hand sidebar of the Web player, but without an accompanying UI.

Spotify has yet to officially announce the Browse feature, so it's not clear if the company will release the new feature to all users or give it a serious overhaul before it hits prime time. A Spotify representative told us that the Browse feature is a test visible to a small percentage of users.
