Example Visualization
The graph shown above shows the number of times I listened to each artist over time. Whenever a new artist is listened to, it is added to the edge of the graph. Artists played first are in blue, and newly added artists transition to green and then red.

Generate the above graph for your own listening history!

The script offer tons of options, so this just gives you a taste of what's possible.

Depending on the length of the history, this could take several minutes. If after a while a blank screen is displayed, you'll have to try again. This server isn't set up for this kind of processing.
