SPOTIFY subscribers who built a Playlist in a Bottle a year ago have just days to claim it, before it disappears forever. The musical time capsule feature gave listeners the chance to select songs they love in January 2024, to reopen 12 months later. "The interactive in-app experience is the perfect time capsule to remember and reflect on the music you loved and how your taste may have evolved over the past 365 days," Spotify writes in a blog post.

Each playlist is built by asking users a series of questions, such as: "A song you'd play for aliens if they visited Earth," "A song you need to hear live in 2024" or "A song you're going to kiss someone to this year.". The songs in answer to these questions are what form the capsule mixtape.

Users can even write a little message to their future selves. Spotify users have been able to unseal their Playlist in a Bottle since the first week of January. But listeners who haven't claimed theirs yet, must do so now, or risk losing it. Spotify will only keep hold of your Playlist in a Bottle until 31 January.
If you haven't saved it to your playlists by that date, then it will vanish. Spotify introduced the hit-feature in 2023. And following an underwhelming Wrapped 2024 event, it has received even more praise. "I just opened the Spotify Playlist in a Bottle feature and it made me laugh, cry, and smile. 10/10 feature," one user wrote on X.
