As it has done in the past, Spotify has created Wrapped 2019, a personalized way for Premium subscribers to take a deep dive into the music that shaped their year. With insights on which tracks were your most-streamed, the tool also highlights other cool stats like your favorite artists, albums, podcasts, and how much time you spent listening.
Previous Wrapped features were only available on the web, via a custom website. While it’s still available on the web, this year Spotify embedded the Wrapped stats in the Spotify mobile app, making it way easier to find and use. There’s also a new feature for folks who love to share: Share cards let you tell the world what you were into for 2019 via Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and Snapchat.
But how do you get to all of that data goodness? Here’s how to use Spotify Wrapped 2019.
All of the personalized insights are just for Spotify Premium members. However, if you’re not a Premium subscriber, you can still enjoy Wrapped 2019. It won’t show you personalized results, but you’ll be greeted by playlists dedicated to the top tracks, artists, and groups of 2019 for your specific country.
And, because we’re at the end of a decade as well as the end of a year, Wrapped 2019 is even more in-depth, giving you a peek at the most streamed songs and artists for the previous 10 years. Spotify has also whipped up some fun, themed playlists with a 10-year retrospective vibe, like The Ones We Slept On, 10 Years Of Heartache, The Party Hits of the 2010s, and 10 Summers You Won’t Forget.
Not a Spotify Premium member? If you’re an AT&T customer you may be able to get it for free.
Instagram is making its way to yet another screen, and this time, Apple TV is getting a taste of the Reels rabbit hole. The company has launched a dedicated Instagram app for Apple TV, bringing Reels, longer videos, and live shows to the big screen. So, if watching one quick clip on a phone somehow turns into an hour of scrolling, there's now a much larger screen for that.

Audio-Technica, a brand well known for making some of the best studio and professional headphones on the market, has just come out with the ATH-AWX7000, which the company itself claims to be its "finest headphones ever." The new flagship closed-back headphone has debuted at an eye-watering price of $3,799. It combines hand-finished Japanese woodwork with a newly developed 58mm driver.
The earcups are made from Kiso cypress, a prized wood historically used for Shinto shrines and Buddhist temples. Each housing is finished by hand with traditional Echizen lacquer, which brings out the grain and is expected to darken over time. The frame and sliders are finished in a deep navy kachi-iro shade traditionally associated with samurai.
