As Apple Music and Spotify continue to battle for subscribers, each service has released new personalized playlists that curate a specific selection of songs for each user. Apple Music's latest addition was its "Chill Mix" this past June, and today Spotify has added onto its roster of personalized playlists with "Your Time Capsule."

As explained by Spotify, Your Time Capsule will gather the 30 "most nostalgic tracks" from your teenage years and early twenties, resulting in a soundtrack that lets you revisit classic songs, albums, and artists from when you were younger. Any Spotify user below the age of 16 will not be able to access the new playlist.

Your Time Capsule follows the launch of Spotify's "Your Summer Rewind" from June, which surfaced all of the songs that you listened to most during prior summers. Spotify said Your Time Capsule is similar, but is meant "to evoke powerful memories from your youth." The new playlist will be at the top of Home or in the Decades section of the Spotify app's Browse tab on iOS and Android smartphones.

Visit Spotify's website to start generating your own version of the new playlist. Your Time Capsule is launching worldwide today for all appropriately aged Spotify users.

To be authentic, the music will need to start 5 seconds in to every track which is also known as the time it takes to get up from the couch and run to the record button.

Occasionally with Casey Casem's voice trailing off as the recording starts, I assume?

Go to Browse, Decades, and then will display at the top. On free and paid.

I did that, but don't see anything on top of the Decades page on iOS.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Thanks for the Houdini tip! I was on Spotify premium and used it a fair amount, but switched to Apple Music.
 
Or just use smart playlists in iTunes.

Something like.

Songs added 10 to 11 years ago that I haven’t listened to for at least 7 years and have been listened to at least 10 times.

I have a ton of smart playlists to help me remember to listen to music I love but lost track of a long time ago. I’ve been buying / adding with Apple Music, 1-3 albums a week for about 25 years , it adds up.

Once in the Decades area scroll down a little and you will see it. At least it’s displaying for me in this area.

Also if you don’t see it within the app, Visit the below page and that also will trigger the playlist to display

For me it fits perfectlyt. And must say that it was a great surprise.
Also a great feature for me, on Spotify, is "My daily playlist" as well "Discovey weekly". In this last one, some weeks are better than others of course.
