Before you start
Request your history from Spotify
Encore uses your full history, which Spotify emails you when you ask for it. It's free and covers everything since you created your account.
A little patience
Step by step
Open your Spotify account privacy page
Sign in and scroll down to "Download your data".
spotify.com/account/privacy(opens in a new tab)Tick the extended streaming history
Select Extended streaming history and untick the rest. That's your full history, the only file Encore needs.
Confirm through the email Spotify sends you
The request only starts after you click the confirmation link.
When the file arrives, come back here
Add the file on the upload page just as it came, without unzipping it.
Go to upload
One reminder a week for 5 weeks, to add to your calendar. It's created right here.
Optional
Want to see your liked songs too?
Also request the "Account data" package. Encore only uses its list of liked songs, to show whose songs you like the most. The rest of the package is never even opened.
On the same privacy page, under "Download your data", also tick "Account data". You can request it together with your full history.
spotify.com/account/privacy(opens in a new tab)Confirm through the email Spotify sends you, just like the history request.
It comes as a separate file and is usually ready in a few days, before the full history.
Add both files together on the upload page. If your history is already open, add just the "Account data" from the dashboard.
