Fascinating to see the differences in music listening over the seasons and the whole year.<br><br>The report has many interactive features, so it will take me some time to figure out how to save, export, and/or republish my listening report on my personal <a class="" href="https://indieweb.social/tags/indieweb" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span class="p-category">indieweb</span></a> site.<br><br>For now I used Firefox to save the page as an .html page to my laptop, and was quite impressed with how much of the information was available in that one file.
