# heard

![](http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8316/8041538022_1494e66db1_z.jpg)

This is an Mac OSX App, tested in 10.8, but will likely work in 10.7. It

works with [iTunes](http://www.apple.com/itunes/) and logs listening data.

A sample song-play recorded by heard:

```javascript

{

  "album" : "On The Water",

  "artist" : "Future Islands",

  "duration" : 291526,

  "id" : "-1183402847677178919",

  "minute" : 1346294601.155178,

  "name" : "On The Water",

  "rating" : null

},

```

Read [more about heard and the visualizations possible with it

on my blog](http://macwright.org/2012/10/01/heard.html).

Internally it uses [CoreData](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Core_Data) for

data storage, and relies on a single third-party library,

[underscore.m](http://underscorem.org/). It uses [CocoaPods](https://github.com/CocoaPods/CocoaPods)

to include that library.

## Running It

This is an unsigned app, not distributed in the Apple Store. To run it on Macs

with Gatekeeper installed, either `(right click or control-click) -> Open` or

turn off Gatekeeper.
