    Sarah Perez, writing for TechCrunch:

    Chief among the complaints are that Spotify prioritized the inclusion of an AI podcast for Wrapped over the other, clever and creative data stories that it typically offers — like those that identify your music personality, match you to a town that shares your musical tastes, describe your “audio aura,” or turn your listening history into a game you can share with friends, among other things. Others are upset over the lack of more detailed stats and the exclusion of information they’ve come to expect, like top music genres and top podcasts. Spotify declined to clarify how they decided which features to include.

    All I really want from wrapped is how many times I played each song/artist. And for them to note whether plays were voluntarily self-selected with intent or were played somewhat-involuntarily in a random mix. And I like knowing how my listening habits compare to others. The gimmicks about auras/personality don’t do much for me (it’s a different gimmick every year - this year they did the “how your taste changed as the year went by” thing, and it like the other things, still didn’t do much for me).
