FULL STORY
======================================================================

 Spotify Wrapped  an automated year-end playlist of all your most-listened-to 
tracks on the music-streaming service  has spawned a legion of imitators, 
with everything from web-hosting providers to credit agencies offering to sum 
up your year in statistics and charts. 

Spotifys arch-rival Apple Music has its own version of Wrapped, and its just 
started rolling out to users. But it surges ahead of Spotifys version in one 
respect, and that means you might find it much more interesting to use. 

It's called Apple Music Replay 2024, and it differs from Spotify Wrapped in 
an important way. While Spotifys round-up is a static playlist thats 
presented to you every year in early December, Apple Music Replay is far more 
dynamic. 

Thats because its made available to subscribers at the start of the year, 
then automatically updates every week with new entries, which means you can 
keep track of your music taste as it evolves over the course of 12 months. 
While you have to wait all year for Spotify Wrapped, you can check your Apple 
Music Replay at any time, and gain insights into your listening habits 
whenever you want. Apple vs Spotify (Image credit: Apple) 

Its not the only way Apple lets you mine your music library for fascinating 
trends. At the end of the year, the app presents you with a much more 
in-depth look at your top artists, favorite albums, total listening time, and 
more. That version is a lot closer to Spotify Wrapped, but it means that 
overall Apple Music provides far more insights, both as one-off playlists and 
as updated lists throughout the year. 

Spotify has expanded its offerings in recent years, with the Playlist in a 
Bottle feature allowing you to use your favorite tracks as answers to prompts 
like a song youd bring to a desert island or a song youd play for aliens if 
they visited Earth. Then, a year later, you can open the bottle and look back 
on your auditory decisions. Its a fun addition, and something Apple Music 
doesn't yet offer. 

To find your Apple Music Replay 2024 playlist youll need to open the Apple 
Music app on your iPhone, iPad or Mac and head to the bottom of the Listen 
Now tab, where your newly generated playlist should be located. This section 
also houses your Apple Music Replay playlists for previous years. Note that 
Apple seems to be rolling out the playlist gradually, so it might take a 
while to appear for you. 

Theres not much love lost between Apple and Spotify, and the two companies 
have been at loggerheads for years. Just last week, Spotify released a 
statement on Apples new third-party app store rules , calling Apples new 
system a complete and total farce. 

Whether you love Spotify or prefer Apple Music, both apps offer you a way to 
better understand your musical preferences. But in the case of Apple Music 
Replay, Apple fans have access to something Spotify cant yet match. You might
