Re:Analyzing Spotify Stream History on Tuesday February 13, 2024 @07:40AM (#39357064)
I have been using last.fm[1] for this for years (just checked, from 2008!). They now do a rolling weekly and annual interactive chart which is fun to look at, here's mine for 2023[2].

They have a Spotify integration and I use PanoScrobbler on mobile.

Is it iSyncr + Rocket Player? I am in the same boat if so. Have the paid versions and don't see ads at the moment, but the "Rate Me" popups are a bad sign.

Each team has to submit an audit of CFD runs at 8 week intervals throughout the year. An FIA inspector can also turn up on premise to review simulations run. The full details are in Appendix 8 of the sporting regulations [0].

As someone in the industry, please take these numbers with the biggest grain of salt you can find. The writer has both added their own components and not divulged the CFD settings used. Which is fair enough but the numbers shown could be within 10% or 1000% percent of a "ballpark".
