Back to Playlist Pulse
Changelog
What's new and improved in Playlist Pulse.
Sharper generator, fuller Wrapped, deeper multi-file
July 2026- Improved Playlist generator — it now understands numbers, not just moods: "120-140 BPM", "over 160 bpm", "rap songs in A minor", "under 3 minutes", and "give me 10 songs" all work. An exact BPM figure always beats a vague "fast".
- Improved Wrapped — now includes everything added recently: Top Album, Top Label and Freshness for playlists; Longest Streak, Longest Binge, Top Album, Discovery and countries for listening history.
- New Multi-file — How Much Your Taste Changed: each year’s top artists compared with the year before, so you can see exactly when your taste turned over.
- New Multi-file — Artists You Never Left: the ones you came back to year after year, and how many stayed with you the whole way.
Crossover
July 2026- New Crossover: Put a playlist next to your listening history and see which songs you actually play, which you added and never listened to, and which you play constantly but never added. Tracks are matched by their Spotify ID, so nothing gets confused by a shared title.
- New Crossover is honest about what it can and can’t know: anything added after your history ends is counted separately rather than held against you, because that export could never have contained it.
- Improved Every ranked list now has a Top 5/10/15/20 picker in its corner, and scrolls inside the card instead of stretching the page.
- Improved Charts and top-lists are full width, so the bars have room to breathe. Your Obscure Finds now starts collapsed.
- Fixed Results opened from a share link no longer offer a share button.
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
- 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.
- New Wrapped flavour text is now randomised per upload. Re-upload or open a new tab for different lines.
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.
- Fixed Big playlists (up to Spotify’s 10,000-song limit) no longer lag the page or browser.
Playlist generator
