Thanks to the programming wizardry of my good friend Ben Foxall, I got full scrobbling history of myself and some friends. Here’s the outcome: 4 dashboards.

This is fabulous. I found this because I googled “scrobbling analysis”, and this is exactly the sort of thing I want to do with my data. I might give it a try at some point.
