A significant problem that occurs when using the Spotify Wrapped 2023 tool is the limited ability to compare current music preferences with those of past years. Users can indeed view their most frequently listened to songs, artists, and genres of the current year, however, there is no option to compare these data across years. This makes it difficult to trace musical developments and changes in personal taste. Moreover, this limitation prevents a comprehensive overview of music preferences over time. It is, therefore, a crucial constraint on the retrospective function of the tool.

The Spotify Wrapped 2023 tool could solve the problem by implementing a feature that allows the comparison of music preferences over several years. Users could thereby gain insights into their musical developments and changes. The tool could generate dynamic charts depicting listening habits and favourite genres or artists over the years. Additionally, users could compare their top songs or artists from different years to identify changes in their preferences. This would provide users with a more comprehensive overview of their musical preferences over time and enable them to better understand their musical journey. These additions would extend the retrospective function of the tool and make it a powerful platform for exploring musical trends and preferences.
