Fans of the music streaming platform Spotify have a new way to let their friends know what they like in music: the Spotify Rainbow Collage.
Spotify is known for having its own music data feature called Spotify Wrapped. It is released at the end of each year as a compilation of all the songs users have listened to in her 12 months. Through Spotify Wrapped, the platform allows users to create compelling, shareable graphics using individual users’ listening data.
And who may remember Spotify Instafest, which allowed users to create Coachella-inspired festival posters based on their favorite artists late last year?
But Spotify Rainbow Collage is different in that it creates an old-fashioned collage using songs and podcasts that Spotify users may have listened to over a period of time. This is a simple collage, but depending on user customization, it could look like a really great work of art.
What is Spotify Rainbow Collage?
