What is Auralytics?
Auralytics connects to your Spotify account to generate detailed breakdowns of your listening habits. It analyses your top tracks, artists, genres, and listening patterns over different time periods, presenting the data in an easy-to-understand format. The tool is designed for music fans who want a deeper understanding of their taste, as well as casual listeners curious about their listening behaviour. It works by pulling your Spotify data and visualising it in ways Spotify's own interface doesn't provide, making it useful for discovering trends in your music consumption or simply satisfying curiosity about your listening statistics.
