What I Am Listening To

I know, I am a geek. But I can't help it. You may now see the last seven songs I have listened to. This page is also linked to from the home page, and in theory should update whenever I am using iTunes. You might ask what is the fourth column for...it shows what percentage of the song I listened to. It will give you an idea of what songs I skipped because I didn't want to hear them. Eventually, I will teach iTunes to learn about what songs I do and don't like (I know, a huge geek).

This was inspired by Glenn's post, where he did a much more complex version of this. Right while I was starting to get into writing my paper, I read this and am thouroughly distracted by learning how I can write programs to interact with iTunes. Further work (such as a smart iTunes, will have to wait until after my paper is totally done).

Update: Now, for the few songs which have associated album art, the image will also appear on top of the recently played page. Right now it only shows the image for the very last song played, but eventually I will get around to having it show small icons next to all seven last played songs. (4/21/05)

Update: Lots of improvements have been made, now its faster and better designed for calculating ratings. Also, their are now album images for all the last played songs. But for space reasons, you only see the last three songs. Eventually there will be some more view options. (4/24/05)
