Global music streaming platform Spotify has announced an interactive new feature that allows you to ‘bottle up’ your musical essence of 2023 and re-open it in the next year for a walk down memory lane.
The feature, dubbed ‘Playlist in a Bottle’, lets Spotify users create a time capsule of the songs that they are listening to right now. Users can then only re-open their playlist a year later.
Spotify said the feature, which rolled out to users on both free and Premium versions, is only available until January 31.
To build your own time capsule:
Click on spotify.com/playlistinabottle from a mobile device.
Pick a capsule of your choice - a bottle, a jean pocket, a gumball machine, lunch box or teddy bear - to hold your songs.
A series of prompts such as “a song you need to hear live this year” and “a song that reminds you of your favourite person” will help determine what goes into your bottle.
These songs will be sealed away until 2024 when you can pop the cork from your bottle and remind yourself of this precise moment in time.
