What will we talk about - each of us has our secrets in music, which we are more or less ashamed to listen to. It's perfectly fine to be moved to Celine Dion's My Heart Will Go On once a year, or you can't imagine the holidays without Last Christmas or All I Want For Christmas. It's also perfectly fine to be embarrassed about it in front of your intellectual friends. Fortunately, you can easily hide your listening activity from others on Spotify. Just tap on the settings icon on the main screen, select Sharing in the menu and activate the Private Session item.
