I used to listen to a lot of music. Before there was iTunes or Last.fm or even CDs I used to listen to cassette tapes, the radio, even actual records…

I keep trying to improve my various web mashups as APIs change and I pick up a new trick or two. Alas in 2019 I think many of the APIs I was using have become much more restrictive. One idea I had was to decrease the number of albums from every CD I own to say one hundred. I thought this would make the code run better as a lot of effort is spent trying to find information about obscure albums. Even my top 100 albums includes some unusual choices…

After finally getting my web mashup code into GitHub I spent a lot of time ensuring the code was easy to read and well commented. Now in 2019 a lot of methods no longer work because of changes to the APIs. I may be able to fix it, but I don’t have the time at the moment…

Far too much work has gone into these classes. I’d much rather be working on a real project for a real organization, rather than forcing myself to write PHP.  I don’t even like PHP, I just knew it was available on most webhosts…

There are a number of ways you could enjoy my favourite music. You could pop by and listen to some sides on my stereo which is back to fully functional, or you could take a peek at my loved tracks and most frequently listened to artists on Last.fm…
