**LastGraph**


http://lastgraph.aeracode.org/

Developed from Lee Byron's original Last.FM visualization posters ([|http://www.megamu.com/lastfm/)], LastGraph replicates Byron's graphs without access to Byron's original source code. The site takes your data that was "scrobbled" to your Last.FM account. Last.FM records what music you're listening to at a given time and creates a log. LastGraph accesses those logs and generates a visualization using a custom library called "Graphification".

The site generates extremely large graphs which are downloadable in PDF and SVG formats but there are several disadvantages to this service. First, the amount of time that it takes to generate a graph can be days since the server has to collect the data specified from Last.FM first and then start to generate the graph which can also take a long time due to a slow name-placing algorithm. Another disadvantage is the lack of real-time viewing. It would be very interesting to compare your listening habits over the course of a day, week, month and year easily.

A great advantage of this service is an editable vector image of your graph that you can print at any size that looks great and has great personal meaning. You can compare the artist to the date at the bottom and relate to that time.
