One of the most special and popular functions of Spotify is the one that at the end of each year tells us what are the songs and artists we listen to the most. Spotify Wrapped has been around for quite some time, but the platform only offers us those cool details once during December.
If this type of data is something you like, you probably love what Volt.fm offers, a website that helps you create a complete profile with all your Spotify statistics, It is like the Wrapped, but for the whole year and with more details.
Volt.fm is a paradise for lovers of music statistics, when you create an account you will quickly see your top genres, artists, and songs according to three different time periods: the last 4 weeks, the last 6 months, or since you started using Spotify.
Below you can find more interesting facts, such as the style of music you listen to. This is things like energy, mood, if it’s acoustic or instrumental, or if it’s live music or more danceable.
In addition to this you are shown an average of the popularity, duration and division of the different decades of the music you listen to. So Volt.fm tells you which is the most popular or “mainstream” song in your library, versus the “darkest” or little known.
It also tells you in which decade the most releases by your favorite artists are concentrated, and it tells you which is the longest song you’ve listened to the most, versus the shortest. Your profile can also display various types of personalized information.
The most basic thing is to change your avatar, write a bio, and choose a unique username to have your own URL. Mine is volt.fm/gabriela2400 and my compi Yúbal from Xataka is simply volt.fm/yubal, for example. You can do this or you can leave the URL to random that the service sets by default.
At the end of your profile, you are given the option to prominently add some of your playlists to complete your profile. AND if you visit the profile of other users, you will also be told your musical compatibility, in the purest Last.fm style.
Volt.fm also offers some paid features that you can get for 2 euros a month, or a single payment of 48 euros, although nothing too essential. Things like promoting your playlists, adding clickable links to your profile, or customizing your page with different colors.
