Spotify understands that growing up ain't so easy — even if you're still a young 20-something who can still be considered a recent college grad. So to ease the pain and remind you of your younger days, the streaming company has just unveiled "Your Time Capsule [1]," a personalized playlist full of music from when you were a teenager and in your early 20s.
There are three ways to get to the playlist: open up the Spotify desktop app and search for "Your Time Capsule"; open up the iOS or Android app and go to Browse Decades and find it there; or visit the dedicated page [2] for it on your computer or laptop. The new playlist starts rolling out on Sept. 28 and is about two hours long — plus, to emphasize the nostalgia factor, it's only accessible to users who are older than 16. A preview of what mine looks like is below.
Spotify's "Time Capsule" playlist is another step in the company's push to help people discover new music — or, in this case, remember old favorites. It's similar to the beloved Discover Weekly playlist or the Release Radar [4] service, both of which encourage people to find new music they might've otherwise never heard of. This new personalized playlist is just another way Spotify is trying to woo people [5] to its service.
