I’ve been posting up my “Top 9” (a grid of my most played albums of the week) to my blog, in the forums, and on Instagram for a very long time now. It’s a fun weekly tradition that I (and others in the forum) participate in to share the music that’s been prominent in our weeks. The quick easy way to make a grid is using something like TapMusic.
However, I finally wrote a simple shell script that uses the Last.fm API to do this as well. Now I can just run the script, and it will create the graphic, save it to my Desktop, calculate the “stats” for the last week, and copy those to my clipboard.
Automation is fun.
