What's even cooler about these Spotify aggregators is that they're not made by Spotify itself they're built by third-party developers and music fans aided by Spotify's open-source API. Unlike Spotify Wrapped 2021, these aren't confined to just once a year, because now every day is a holiday!

Spotify is licensed to stream music, and Instagram is licensed for user-generated use of music, but it seems Canvas videos shared from Spotify still fall between those two stools.If you've clicked through Instagram Stories in the past few months, you may have seen a mysterious collection of crinkled grocery store receipts posted by friends of yours.
