About this project: This project analyzes your iTunes collections, showing the highest rated artists and albums, etc. A Python script parses the iTunes Music Library.xml file and stores the information in a PostgreSQL database, then performs the analysis using a series of SQL queries. The little charts are based on - each color represents a different rating (black is 0, red is 1, etc.). You can mouse over the colors to see the exact number of songs that had that rating.
