Music streaming service Spotify is in the news today as it has announced a new partnership with ride-sharing startup Uber, which will allow the latter’s users to stream their own music when they’ve rented an Uber in any of the supported cities. That’s not the only thing that we’ve got to know about Spotify today. It has been discovered that podcasts might soon be coming to Spotify, and there are rumors about an undetermined feature which is currently being referred to as “Magic.”

The podcasts feature was discovered in the code of the Spotify developer build by Ethan Lee. It places podcasts under the Browse tab just below New Releases. Unfortunately the code doesn’t reveal when this feature is going to go live.

The developer, Lee, states that a few files point that the podcasts feature “is a feature ready to go.” However Spotify hasn’t mentioned anything about this feature recently, and not a peep even today, as the company announced its partnership with Uber. So it looks like we’ll have to wait for another day.

There are references within the code that point towards a feature named “Magic” but it isn’t clear whether its an existing feature that’s referred to as “Magic” or a completely new one that hasn’t really taken shape up till now. I guess we’ll have to wait to get answers on this one as well.
