One of the Recent Spotify Additions is the function named Pie Chart. It is a kind of analytical graph that helps to record and analyze the musical tastes of each user. From its use it is possible to make more specific and accurate searches and recommendations regarding the type of musicians and bands that each user prefers.
From Spotify's Pie Chart function we can understand in a more detailed way the styles and characteristics of the music we like. It uses the classic format of a pie chart or Pie Chart in English, and gives a graphic manifestation to the musical tastes of each user.
Visual representation of musical tastes with the Spotify Pie Chart
The pie chart, also known as a circular or pie chart, is a type of statistical tool which converts numeric data into graphs. In this way, it is easy to see what the specific parameters are according to what we are trying to measure. On Spotify, the Pie Chart is used to record the most listened to songs, bands and artists of each month. You can use different categories to show in greater detail the type of musical tastes in your account.
How is the Spotify Pie Chart put together?
The new Pie Chart feature on Spotify works externally, and it's totally free. It allows us to collect all the songs listened to and analyzed on a monthly basis, thus helping to graphically represent our musical tastes and preferences.
Each of the sections of the cake is assigned a color determined, indicating the genres that we are listening to. Spotify has an extensive catalog of music that is grouped according to different parameters, and with Pie Chart you can graphically see the division of these genres and how it influences the type of music and songs we choose to listen to.
Pie charts display with clear and distinguishable identification: Genre, Music, and Song. A list with the favorite artists that we have been listening to is also incorporated. On a monthly basis, the data collected is used to keep track of the way in which we enjoy ourselves and the musical styles that we like the most.
How to use Pie Chart?
The application that turns our Spotify data into pie charts is independent of the streaming platform. You can access it from the Github portal at the following link: https://huangdarren1106.github.io/.
When entering that page, we have to enter our Spotify username and password, and the graph corresponding to our last month of use in the account will be formed. Although it is not directly linked to the developers of Spotify, the tool has become very interesting, to the point that it is used by the great leaders of the music industry to find out some aspects about the consumption practices of users around the world.
Share your chart with friends
Another option that comes included with the Spotify Pie Chart is to share the results with our friends through social networks. In this way we can graphically show you the musical content that we like or that we have been listening to in the last month. We can also see our friends' graphics and compare experiences and styles when they display their graphics on social media.
Safety notices
When we enter our usage credentials in Pie Chart, Spotify alerts us that we are about to share specific account information. The data that Pie Chart uses to make the charts includes:
- Real name.
- User aliases.
- Profile picture.
- Followers
- Published lists.
- Currently playing content.
- Information about devices connected through Spotify Connect.
- Artists, podcast, and albums or songs listened to.
What information does the graph show?
When we use Pie Chart to display a pie chart of our use of Spotify, we will see the lists of songs with the most reproductions as well as our most listened to artists. By passing the cursor over a certain area of the graph, additional and in-depth information about our way of listening is displayed.
Options for social sharing they are still somewhat limited, but users tend to use the screenshot format and then share that on the networks. Instagram and Twitter are the two most used social networks to date to share this type of graphics.
Despite being a external websiteIt has good levels of security. It is HTTPS certified and has a certain level of guarantee that it works securely. It does not mean that the service is completely secure against hacker attacks, but it does at least guarantee basic security features to protect your information. The tool is practical and versatile, it can be especially interesting for those users who enjoy statistics. The heart of the proposal is to show the Spotify community how we use our account and what content we enjoy.
