Mini weekend Project.
Had this idea it might be interesting to pull out some visualisation from my iTunes library.
1st step was to get the information out of iTunes. Fortunately Apple have made it nice and easy by providing a nice XML file that stores all your information called iTunes Music Library.xml
The next step is to take this file and push the data in to SQL. I found a few blogs that had some SQL scripts, but none of them seemed to work properly. I then found a great article at ‘The Code Project’ web site - http://www.codeproject.com/KB/database/sqltunes.aspx
This will take your XML file and create a DB in SQL for you:
Once this is run you should then find your data in your SQL database:
So what can we do with this information?
Why not create a dashboard?:
