“Playlist in a bottle” is a new feature for users on the Spotify music streaming platform. The aim is to put together a playlist for the beginning of next year
How “Playlist in a bottle” works on Spotify
“Playlist in a bottle” is a feature on Spotify that allows you to put together a playlist at the beginning of the year. At the beginning of the next year, this will be presented to you as a review on Spotify.
- The playlist should work like a message in a bottle that you send yourself. This way, you will be reminded of January 2023 in January 2024
- As a Spotify user, you still have the opportunity to create your own “playlist in a bottle” until January 31, 2023.
- It is also possible to send this function via messenger apps. This way you can invite your friends to create a playlist for the future too.
- The function is available both in the free version and for Premium subscribers.
How to create your time travel playlist
Creating the time travel playlist works both in the Spotify app and via your browser.
- Open Spotify in the app or in your browser and click on the banner for “Playlist in a Bottle”. Alternatively, you can also follow this link
- After a short animation, you can start right away. You first have to decide on a digital object in which you would like to store your Spotify playlist until next year. You can choose from a “real bottle”, a “tiny pocket on your jeans”, a “chewing gum machine”, a “Tupperware box”, a “teddy bear” and a “small acorn.”
- You will then be shown various categories for which you should select suitable songs. Examples include “A song you are secretly obsessed with”, “A song you would pay a lot of money to hear again for the first time” or “A song that was written 100% about you”.
- You can either choose songs yourself or use the random generator. You should add at least three songs to the playlist, but you can also add more songs. Your playlist will then be included until January 2024
