Spotify wrapped started this trend seems other apps are following through. Seeing a summary of things you did with there app. Kind of gives you a hint how much other things are being tracked.

Not really sure what you mean basic but if tracking someone’s clicks on certain button, or features and can be traced back to you. It’s actually kind off putting so much for making your information anonymise which most companies claim.
But for Spotify they are tracking how many times you played different songs. Not trying to defend them, but for a music service I’m pretty sure they need to track that kind of information regardless. Might as well tally it up and show your own data to you
They only need aggregate data for that, they don’t need them to be assigned to a specific user account.
Music players have been keeping play counts since before the invention of the iPod. It’s a datapoint that users have come to expect. I actually wish services like Spotify or Apple Music did a better job of displaying this data throughout the year rather than just in end of year infographics.
Like I dunno, Google is literally collating your location data, I hardly think music plays is top secret info.
Preach
Spotify > Search > Made For You > “On Repeat” / “Repeat Rewind” = not sufficient
Chad Google Play Music > sort by plays = perfect
I thought Google Play Music didn’t exist anymore?
Sure doesn’t yeah, guess I was just reliving a good feature memory 😉
