The app will then take a look at all of the listener’s Spotify data and present very detailed results. Head on over to the Obscurify website here and log in by using your Spotify information (login ID and password). To get the “obscure” results one is looking for is actually quite simple. Let’s take a look at exactly how Obscurify works. And that's all there is to it! Head to the Obscurify website, link your Spotify account, and instantly see how obscure (or not) your listening is.What makes Obscurify different from those others is that this app drills down into a user’s listening habits to let them know just how obscure their musical tastes are.

At the bottom of the page are music recommendations from Obscruify based on your music taste.

The section below has a 'Share with your friends' button that allows you to share your Obscurify profile on social media. The page initially shows your top 12 artists/songs, but you can select the 'Show More' button to see up to 50 of your top picks. Right below that, Obscurify also shows users their all-time top artists and songs. If you listen to an artist or song that's not mainstream or overly popular, this is where you'll see them. As you keep scrolling down the page, Obscurify then shows users their most obscure artists and tracks. For example, Pop is listed as my number five genre, thanks to how often I listen to Ashe, X Ambassadors, and The 1975. Tapping/clicking a genre shows the three artists most responsible for it. Obscurify first shows users their top 10 genres. In less than a second, the Obscurify website updates with insights on your music preferences. Tap/click the green 'Log in with Spotify' button on the site, log in with your Spotify account credentials, and select the green 'Agree' button to link your Spotify account with Obscurify. To find your own Spotify obscurity rating, all you have to do is visit the Obscurify website from your phone, tablet, or computer. On the note of third-party integration, one neat Spotify trick comes from a website called ' Obscurify.' Created in 2020 by Alex Olivero and Nirmal Patel, Obscurify is a third-party website that analyzes your Spotify playlists, looks at the songs added to them, and gives you an obscurity rating to show how obscure/basic your music choices are.

At the end of each year, Spotify Wrapped gives users a detailed breakdown of their various listening habits throughout the year - and makes it easy to share those stats on social media.

For all the things its competition is getting better at, Spotify still reigns supreme with its social features.
