A task for last.fm scrobble geeks
So, I have been scrobbling for about two years now, and today was the first time I bothered checking my stats.
I'm interested in how often other people listen to particular albums. I listen to a fair amount of music, but don't listen to albums over and over again - I prefer to keep trying out new things. How does your albums to listening rate ratio compare to mine?
- List your top twenty most listened to albums.
- To get the Album play rate - divided the total track listens by the quantity of tracks on the album.
- Also quote your total listens, the date you signed up to last.fm, and calculate your average listens per day.
- And lastly, quote total artists in your library. Divide total listens by this amount, to get your average listens per artist.
And joyful geekery will commence!
Here are mine:
