Changelog
What's new and improved in Playlist Pulse.
Albums, labels, freshness & deeper listening stats
July 2026- New Playlists — Top Albums: see which records your playlist leans on most. Albums are counted per artist, so two different releases that happen to share a title stay separate.
- New Playlists — Top Record Labels: find out which labels are quietly behind your music, and how many of them it takes to make up your playlist.
- New Playlists — Freshness: how old each track already was when you added it, from day-one releases through to decade-old throwbacks, plus the typical age across the whole playlist.
- New Listening history — Longest Listening Streak: your best run of consecutive days with something playing, alongside the hiatus detector.
- New Listening history — Sessions & Longest Binge: how often you settle in to listen, how long a session usually runs, and your single biggest stretch.
- New Listening history — Most Played Albums: the records you actually came back to, counted per artist.
- New Listening history — Discovery Rate: how many artists you heard for the first time each month, and when you were at your most curious.
- New Listening history — Podcasts & Audiobooks: the parts of your history that were never music, with your most-played shows and books.
- New Listening history — Where You Listened: your top countries by play count, so trips away show up in the data.
Quality of life & accessibility
July 2026- New Pick up where you left off — your most recent analysis is saved on your device, so you can resume it without re-uploading your file.
- New A sticky "jump to" bar and a back-to-top button on the results pages, for moving around long breakdowns quickly.
- Improved Full keyboard support — arrow keys move through the menu and tool tabs, Escape closes pop-ups, a skip-to-content link jumps past the header, and there are clear focus outlines throughout.
Feedback, examples & a cleaner look
July 2026- New Feedback button — send a suggestion, bug report, or note from any page, so it’s easy to tell us what you’d like to see.
- New Try with sample data: explore a full playlist (CSV), listening-history, and multi-year example without waiting days for your Spotify export — see the buttons on the home page.
- Improved A unified card design across the whole site, including the tool and every page, for a cleaner and more consistent look.
Home page & navigation
June 2026- New A proper home page with an about section and quick links to each tool.
- New A "How to get your data" guide covering both the playlist CSV and streaming-history JSON exports.
- New A menu in the top-right corner to jump between the home page, each tool, the guide and this changelog.
- Improved Each tool now has its own address — /csv, /json and /multi-json — so you can bookmark or link straight to it.
Grouped platforms & changelog
June 2026- Improved Platforms Used now groups every OS/app version together (e.g. one "iOS" line with all plays summed).
- New This changelog page, so you can keep up with new features.
- Improved The playlist generator download button now matches the blue CSV theme.
Wrapped, expanded
June 2026- New More Wrapped cards: oldest song, top decade, biggest add-month, explicit %, a mainstream-o-meter, shuffle/offline/incognito and more.

Charts & performance
June 2026- New "Songs Added Over Time" — a smooth area chart with hover details.
- Improved Decade and monthly charts now use the same area-chart style, with smaller side-by-side cards.

Playlist generator

- New Share links can let viewers generate playlists from your songs — or keep it switched off.
Sharing & multi-file
