About Melt Speakers

A streaming service’s year-end recap shows you five artists and a minute count, once a year. The record underneath it is much bigger: Spotify’s Extended streaming history, the JSON files it emails after a data request, lists every play on an account for as long as the account has existed.

Melt Speakers reads that record the way Last.fm reads a scrobble history. It ranks artists, albums and tracks by play count, charts hours listened month by month or year by year, gives every artist, album and track a page of its own, and lists every play, newest first. Artwork comes from Apple’s iTunes Search API.

It works with a Spotify streaming history export. It is not made by, affiliated with, or endorsed by Spotify or Apple.

An export is loaded on the Melt Speakers server by the person who runs it. Before it gets there, it is scrubbed to seven fields per play: when, for how long, the track, its album artist, its album, its Spotify track URI, and whether it was skipped. The IP address, country and platform that Spotify records with every play never reach the server.

There is no upload and no Spotify sign-in. You read the history through an account in the app at app.meltspeakers.com, and accounts are by invitation, with a single-use invite code.

The timeline’s months and years are counted in UTC, so a play just before midnight is filed the same way wherever it is viewed from.

Melt Speakers is early and invite-only. It first ran in 2025, and was rebuilt in 2026 with a C++ server and sign-in. What the app does today is the 7 features on the home page.

Melt Speakers is built and published by Spergs, LLC, a Florida software company.
