Most Played Artists

This script generates a text file that lists the total combined play count of tracks by each unique artist in your library. You must have played at least one track by an artist for that artist to be included in the ranking.

Notable for its use of the faceless Database Events application distributed with Tiger, and thus requires Mac OS X 10.4 or better.
