Taste Explorer

Every timestamp Spotify will give up about your listening: each liked song, each track you dropped into one of your own playlists, each album you saved, plus your top-50 rankings in three time windows. Featured artists split a save evenly. Genres come from Spotify's artist tags, sorted into eight families. Artists Spotify never tagged get a family inferred from the artists they share playlists and save days with (marked ≈ in the tables); the rest stay Untagged.

Character over time

Quarterly medians across the saves in the filter. Popularity and follower counts are Spotify's numbers today, not at the time you saved the track. A high crate depth means you were saving older records.

Rotation shifts

Spotify's own top-artist ranks in three windows: about a year (all time is weighted to recent years), six months, four weeks. Lines track an artist across windows. Hover a name to trace it. This section ignores the filter strip.

Genres

Every Spotify genre tag that touches your saves. Change compares the last 12 months of the selected range against the 12 before, as share points. Click a row for its artists.

Artists

Score = 2×liked + playlist adds + 3×albums + 3 if followed + top-rank bonus. Heat weights each save by recency with a 180-day half-life, so it shows who you're into now. Click a row for the full record.

Habits

When you save music, in Central time. Then each year summarized, your biggest save days, and your obsessions: the most saves of one artist inside any 14-day stretch.

Eras

Each dot is a saved track: when you saved it (across) against the year it came out (up). Dots well below the diagonal are crate digging. Pick a family to light it up.

Deep cuts

The most obscure corners of the library, plus your last 50 plays.
