May. 20, 2024

If you are active on social media platforms and are part of the music community, you must have noticed your friends posting screenshots of an iceberg. This iceberg includes the names of various musical artists, which you may or may not know. If this image has left you intrigued, we are here to help to make your own Spotify Iceberg and share it with friends.

What is Icebergify?

Just like theviral Spotify Pie Chartthat is popular among the community, Icebergify is yet another way to visualize your Spotify listening habits. It’s a tool that lets youexplore the depths of your musical tastes.

Icebergify is an open-source website created by Akshay Raj, a computer science student. The basic concept is to replicate the concept of an iceberg but for your Spotify music based on popularity. The Spotify Iceberg will analyze the artists that you listen to and then place them at different levels of an iceberg to depict either their popularity or their obscurity. Now, if you are wondering how does the tool function? Don’t worry, as we’ve explained it towards the end.

Now that you know exactly what Icebergify is and how it creates your Spotify Iceberg, let us dive deeper into how you can make your very own Spotify Iceberg.

Icebergify is a web app, and there is no software available for you to download on your Mac or Windows PC. So, you will need to visit the Icebergify website to create your Spotify Iceberg. For reference, we are using the Chrome browser on a Windows PC in this guide. Follow the steps below:

Once you click on the button, it will take you to yourall-time Spotify Iceberg. That’s it! You have successfully created your own Spotify Iceberg.

If you are on your mobile device and want to get your Iceberg, you can do that as well. Icebergify does not have a mobile app, so you need to open your mobile browser (for reference, we are using Google Chrome) and visit the Icebergify website. Here’s how it works:

Now that you know how to create your Iceberg on desktop and mobile device, it is time to learn how to share your curated music taste with friends and family on varioussocial media platforms such as Facebookor Twitter. But you must have noticed thatthere is no share or download buttonon the Icebergify website.

However, if you are on your Mac or Windows PC, you can right-click on the Spotify Iceberg image and select the “Save image as”option to download the Iceberg. Furthermore, you can choose to directly share the image to your desired platform by simply selecting the “Copy image” option and pasting the image onto Twitter or Facebook.

In case you are on your smartphone, long press on the image to open the pop-up menu. From the menu, in case you’re on Android, you can either choose the copy image, download image, or share image options. If you are on an iPhone, you can also save the image to your photo library or choose to directly share the Spotify Iceberg via the “Share” option.

It is important to note that you might face issues or internal server errors (500) while trying to access the Icebergify website. This should not come as a surprise as Icebergify attracts a ton of traffic because of its demand and popularity. So, here are a few fixes to resolve this issue.

As explicitly stated by the developer, you should first try to refresh the website multiple times until you can see the iceberg on your screen. This will require you to be patient but should work by refreshing the browser 3-4 times.

You can also try to clear your browsercookies and cached datathat gets accumulated over time. For reference, we will use the Chrome browser. You can visit the Settings menu and head over to the “Privacy and Security” section to access the “clear browsing data” option. From the menu, select the time range as well as the options that sayCookies and other site data, andCached images and files. Hit the “Clear data” button to delete cached data and try accessing the Icebergify website again.

In case you are connected to a VPN network, it can also interfere with your access to the Icebergify website. In this case, disconnect from your VPN service and try accessing the website again. If you are not connected to a VPN network, you can download one of thebest VPN appsand get access to your Spotify Iceberg.

To curate your Iceberg, Icebergify will collect data from thetop 50 artistsyou are listening to or may have listened to intheshort-term, medium-term, and long-term. Your Iceberg includes artists you listen to frequently, that you’ve listened to in the past, and the ones you just started listening to. Icebergify will also analyze your likes, saves, shares, playlists, and many more metrics to give you a full picture.

Apart from your personal Spotify metrics, the website will also rank your artists based on the level of their popularity and demand. Let’s say you listen to a lot of Backstreet Boys and Son Lux. Backstreet Boys will be on top of your iceberg, whereas Son Lux might be placed at a lower level. This is entirely based on the fact that Backstreet Boys are more popular than Son Lux.

Alternatively, if you listen to Ed Sheeran occasionally and Fenny Lily a lot, Ed Sheeran will still be placed at a higher level purely based on the artist’s popularity.

Apart fromSpotify Wrapped, which you can access only once a year, Icebergify lets you understand your preferences at any given point in time. Using Icebergify, you can comprehend the nuances of your musical data and share your findings with your friends on various social media platforms.
