If you don't use Spotify, conversations with friends and your feed might feel a little alienating of late.

With the release of Spotify Wrapped, your Instagram Stories, TikTok FYP, and X timeline has likely been taken over by friends posting their top artists and songs, something called a "Sound Town" and their particular listening personality.

Well, if you're more of an Apple Music user, there's a year-end wrap-up for you too, with Apple Music Replay.

What is Apple Music Replay?

Launched in Feb. 2022, Apple Music Replay is basically Apple's version of Spotify Wrapped, an overview of artists, albums, songs, playlists, and stations you've listened to the most over the year.

The main difference with Apple's service is it's available to check all year, so you can see what you've listened to, play counts, and time spent listening. At the end of the year, you can access a year-end Replay, which comes with the coveted, shareable reel of your listening habits.
