    Any plans to make it for Windows? I imagine having iTunes installed would be a requirement as it seems to use the library.

    our (@afrome & mine) latest listening history visualization is up: LastLoop (www.lastloop.de) lets you interactively explore and compare multiple histories. Give it a try (works right in your browser)!

    maskinmakt: Unfortunately Last.fm doesn’t provide a fast way to access information about multiple tracks, so if you have a lot of different tracks in your library it will take a while to fetch all the necessary information individually.

    Loving the app but now that I have 20k+ tracks and 100k+ entries showing up the app is running like a dog ( and taking 500mb+ of RAM as well! ). One interesting thing I've noticed is since using LastHistory I've changed my playlists to bring in more recently played tracks - http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1246/4593259469_bc3dbbbb2f_b.jpg

    love this program! the ability to zoom into times would be useful on my 13" macbook. Also when a mouse hovers over a node, it would be nice to have it stick to it or maybe bring up a small magnifying glass to select other songs in the same area

    Love this app. <3 Too bad it isn't compatible with Lightroom. Maybe I could find some plugin there.

    Thanks Crompsy! Currently LastHistory only supports iPhoto.

    Is there a way to have it pull from Aperture rather than iPhoto?

    Just wanted to let you know that I finished my thesis on LastHistory. It’s available for download from my website (PDF, 16 MB) if someone is interested.

    Thanks. I read it later. No more crashes indeed ;-)

    @president_block As noted on the website, there is an issue that can lead to crashes when interacting with the visualization while the download from Last.fm is still in progress. I would recommend not to interact with the program until the history is fully downloaded. Afterwards I have not experienced any crashes. Enjoy! :)

    I have the latest version of Snow Leopard, but the app crashed immediately and kept crashing, so I removed it....

    @Four_Ton_Tanuki Unfortunately the Last.fm servers sometimes return random errors. I haven’t seen this specific one, but if you send me the error output from the Mac OS X Console I can look into it. @buzlink No. LastHistory uses a number of Mac OS X components that are not available on Tiger. @prolixian Unfortunately LastHistory needs to ask the Last.fm servers about the tags for every track in your library individually, which is why it can take a while. Hopefully Last.fm adds a faster way to do this in the future.
