Happy to see they mentioned their API usage won't change. Last year I was working on a small project (https://listeningfacts.com) around spotify's API but they decided to suddenly restrict access to it.

I was able to make it work with last.fm's API with no issue and they're more generous with the information they provide.

I've been working on Listening Facts[0] for a while now. Basically, it's a year in review of your listening facts presented in a "nutrition facts" label format. It works with Apple Music, Spotify (via waitlist due to recent API changes[1]), and LastFM.

I'm currently working on language detection to expand the "facts" with a language distribution on each generated label.

I tried getting Adsense on the website but I keep getting denied on "Low Content Value" grounds. I tried some alternatives but the quality of their ads was ridiculous (stuff like "your device has a virus, click here to clean it up") so I just gave up on that.

Here[2] you can find what one of the labels looks like and many more from some user submissions

I'm working on Listening Facts[0], a music habits visualization tool based on your top tracks. Inspired by Receiptify and every day nutrition facts labels[1].

It started out as a Spotify oriented project but due to their recent API changes[2] I ended up focusing more on a Last FM integration. This wasn't that bad as their API provides more details such as play count per song. I've also added an Apple Music integration.

I posted about it[3] on Last FM's subreddit and I was pleasantly surprised to see that a lot of people shared their labels on the comments and seemed to like it.

I'm currently working on language detection, I think it'd be cool to get a language breakdown of the songs you listen to and for that to be part of the displayed items within the label. Something along the lines of EN- 80%, ES- 15%, FR - 5%
