CDO

I’m going to the I’ll Be Your Mirror thing next weekend.  They’re doing a tape swap thing.  I probably won’t be participating, because I’m lazy, but I did start thinking about what such a tape would consist of.

Fortunately, Emacs has kept track of all the albums I’ve played over the last decade, so I could just let it pick the albums I’ve played most. I’d have to pick the songs myself, though, since it only keeps track of this stuff on a per-album basis.

Here’s the list it came up with.  The most played album per release year.

  1. Great taste 😀 I love Bowie, Kate Bush, Arto Lindsay, and Tuxedomoon. I'm curious, though, how did you get Emacs to track which albums you have listened to the most? Is it a feature of EMMS?
