Spotify Pie for Web

What it is

Spotify Pie is a free web tool that turns your Spotify listening history into a colorful pie chart so you can quickly see which artists and genres dominate your plays. Like similar services (for example, Instafest), it requires permission to access your Spotify data before it can generate a report.

How it works

• Connect the app to your Spotify account and grant the requested access so it can read your recent listening activity.
• The service processes your play history and groups tracks by genre, then displays each genre as a colored slice of a pie chart.
• Hovering over a slice reveals the artists that contribute to that genre’s share, and a legend lists each genre beside its color.
• Click a color in the legend to remove that genre from the chart temporarily for a cleaner view.

Layout and usability

The visualization is straightforward and quick to interpret at a glance, but some text elements (particularly the artist names and legend labels) are small and can be hard to read on smaller screens. The chart’s interactivity helps explore details, but the interface would benefit from larger fonts or a zoom option.

Privacy and permissions

Because Spotify Pie reads your listening history, you’ll need to authorize it with Spotify. Only grant access if you’re comfortable sharing listening metadata; check what exact permissions the site requests before approving them.

Other tools to try

• Instafest — another option for creating year-style summaries and genre breakdowns.
• Adobe Podcast (Free) — an alternative that focuses on audio tools and related analytics.

Quick advantages and limitations

• Advantage: Fast, visual breakdown of genres and the artists tied to them.
• Limitation: Small text makes some lists difficult to scan on mobile devices.
• Advantage: Interactive legend and hover details let you explore specifics without waiting for annual wrap-ups.
• Limitation: Requires Spotify authorization, so review privacy permissions before connecting.
