If you're a music fan and an avid Spotify user, one of the best times of the year is when the music streamer releases its annual Spotify Wrapped list —  the highly-anticipated year-end roundup that it's been doing since 2016. It's a fun trip down memory lane for the year that reveals interesting insights on everything you listened to most, including songs, albums, artists, genres, and podcasts from the time spanning January 1 to October 31 each year. 

But why wait for an entire year for all that data on your listening habits when you can hop on to a site like Stats for Spotify for a peek at ongoing lists of your top tracks, top artists, and top genres that you can view for the last four weeks, last six months, and all-time. It'll even show you your 50 most recently played tracks with time stamps.

Updated every day, the lists it churns out will also display up and down arrows indicating rank changes over time — like your own Billboard chart of sorts.

By logging in with your Spotify credentials, you give the site access to your usage data, and while it's not as colorful and animated as Spotify Wrapped, Stats for Spotify is a nifty glimpse into what you've been into, and it'll even let you create playlists based on your top tracks that automatically sync up to your Spotify for you to listen to.

Stats for Spotify, while bare bones, is free. There are several other apps and sites out there that mine the same data and offer additional features for a fee, such as Stats.fm and Volt.fm. It's up to you whether the extra features are worth it, but for now, we're here to show you how to use Stats for Spotify. It's dead easy. Let's go.

Link your Spotify account to Stats for Spotify

For Stats for Spotify to mine all your listening habits, you need to log in with your Spotify username and password.

Step 1: On your computer browser or on your smartphone, go to www.statsforspotify.com and select the Login with Spotify button.

Step 2: Read through the agreement details and scroll to the bottom. If you've already logged in to Spotify on your device you'll likely see your Spotify icon as it will already have identified you. If so, just select Agree.

Step 3: If not, you'll see a screen with all the different ways you can log in to Spotify. Choose whichever one you've used — Apple, Facebook, Google, or with your email address and password. When you're done, select Log In. You're done, and you'll be kicked back to the Stats for Spotify home screen.

The menus are pretty straightforward. From the home page, you'll get to choose from Top Tracks, Top Artists, Top Genres, and Recently played.

Top Tracks shows you the top 50 songs you've listened to in three categories: the last 4 weeks, the last 6 months, and of all time, all with album artwork from their respective albums.

Top Artists also shows you to top 50 artists in the same three timeframe choices, with artist images.

Top Genres is a bar graph-style section that outlines the most-listened to genres of music, from Pop to Rock to Hip-Hop to niche genres like Oxford Indie and Roots Reggae. It also delivers them in the last 4 weeks, 6 months, and all-time lists.

Recently played is a straightforward list of the last 50 tracks you listened to.

How to make a playlist from your Top Tracks

So you've scrolled down your list of Top Tracks and you think that it might make a pretty good playlist. Pretty much the only interactive function of the site, doing this is dead simple and can be done for the last 4 weeks, last 6 months, and all-time lists, and if your usage is high enough each list will have 50 tracks. Here's how.

Step 1: Go to the Top Tracks section from the top menu. It will open on the last 4 weeks list, but choose a different one if you like.

Step 2: Scroll to the very bottom and select Create playlist.

Step 3: It just takes a second and then you can select View playlist.

Step 4: If you're using a browser on desktop, Spotify will open in a new tab showing you your new Top Tracks playlist with a date in the title for easy reference. You can, of course, change this.

If you're on your smartphone, the Spotify app will open instead.

Whichever way it opens, you'll be able to play your new playlist of all your top tracks.

If you want to compare your top tracks from Stats for Spotify to what they were from the last Spotify Wrapped, all you have to do is browse to spotify.com/us/wrapped, log in and it will bring you to your 2022 playlist. Enjoy!

What is Pandora? Music, features, and pricing explained
The Now Playing screen on the Pandora desktop app.

One of the original music streaming services is a little service called Pandora. And while Spotify and Apple Music may be the more relevant tune meccas of 2024, Pandora music is still around and is a great way to indulge in many of your favorite albums, artists, and stations. 

But how much does a Pandora music subscription cost, and what devices can you enjoy this service on? We put together this exhaustive guide on Pandora to answer those questions, plus several others.
What is Pandora?
Pandora is a music-streaming service that gives you access to an immense library of albums, artists, playlists, and podcasts. With an emphasis on curation and recommendations, the Pandora app allows you to build “stations” that are algorithmically linked to the types of music you enjoy listening to. The more you listen, the more attuned to your preferences the stations get.

When it comes to music streaming services, there’s definitely no shortage of options on the table. You’ve probably heard of services like Spotify and Apple Music, but what about Amazon Music? Available as part of an Amazon Prime subscription or as a standalone membership, Amazon Music gives you access to millions of songs, plus an immense library of podcasts, hi-res playback (for Amazon Music Unlimited subscribers) and Alexa compatibility for your mobile devices.

And much like its competition, Amazon Music continues to evolve and expand. Not to worry, though! We’ve put together this guide to teach you everything you need to know about Amazon Music. From pricing to offline downloads, we’ve got you covered!
What is Amazon Music?
Amazon Music is a music streaming service similar to Apple Music, Spotify, YouTube Music, Tidal, and Deezer. It offers a library of more than 100 million songs and a wide range of popular podcasts to stream and download for offline listening, too. Similarly to its competitors, Amazon Music users have access to a massive amount of current and back-catalog songs and albums and can create their own playlists that can be shared. It also uses your listening habits to create recommendations: new artists, albums, curated playlists, podcasts, and more, to help you easily find something good to play. For the audiophiles out there, Amazon Music has plan tiers for hi-resolution lossless audio that it calls HD and Ultra HD (more on this below), which is important if you're considering Spotify, as it currently does not.

Disney Plus on a TV screen.

There's no doubt that Disney+ has one of the best treasure troves of legendary as well as new and hot movies and TV series of all the streaming services.

Now, you've decided that you're done. Or maybe you just want to save a little money for a bit.

Whatever your reasons are, if it's time to delete your Disney+ account, the process is relatively straightforward. Actually, the only thing that will make the steps different for each user is which devices you used to create a Disney+ account in the first place.
