Find the photo you want to use for your "album cover," and upload it to your Instagram Story.
Type in a period as the text, and use the second font to the right.
Tap the "A" at the top of the screen, and make sure the period has a black background behind it.
Click "Done," and stretch the black box to cover the entire image.
Save the photo, and reupload it to your Story.
Go to "Music," and find the song you want to use.
Tap the song on your screen so it shows the album cover as opposed to the lyrics.
Go into the edit settings, and upload the original photo to your Story again.
Tap on the photo until it turns into a square, and put it over the album's photo.
Go to "GIFs," and search "Spotify."
Add the sticker that looks like music is playing.
