Cool idea. One thing the author might like: if you sign up to lastfm, it tracks all of your music plays. So you can go through the data and see what you were listening yo each month/week

Librefm or listenbrainz as well
Listenbrainz has a really intuitive and permissive api! I was just building my own tracker app with it yesterday: https://github.com/caminante-blanco/bowie-tracker
Last.fm is great! I do like the breakdowns you can do there, especially the query for the top songs/artists of the last 30 days, year & all time.

It's not as seamless to jump in and listen to stuff on lastfm though.

It's annoying they don't allow migrating in a data dump from Spotify (they do, but everything is tagged as listened to on the day of import...). My Spotify account is 10 years old but I only discovered Last.fm ~ 6 months ago.
I recently stumbled across my lastfm login from late middle and early high school days. Talk about a blast from the past. This is a good idea, to keep the history going.
