I had an idea that I think would be a really fun feature for Spotify (or any streaming service).

Imagine being able to set the app to any date in history - for example January 1st 1986. From that point on, you'd experience music exactly as people did back then.

Every week, your Release Radar would only show songs and albums that were released during that week in 1986. Future releases would stay locked until their original release date so you'd gradually discover the year's music in real time instead of knowing everything in advance.

It would basically be a "music time machine." You could relive an entire year as if you were actually there, watching albums drop week by week and discovering classics without already perfectly knowing what's coming next (unless you're a big fan ofc).

What do yall think?

I think adapting music archivals to modern platforms is a lengthy process, but if it can happen with today's technology yes
