What did you use to analyze your iTunes stats?

i’ve got a whole post about the various iTunes stats tools, but for this case it was mostly looking at the numbers at the bottom of a playlist, a pocket calculator and the ol’ noggin.
I did use the Total Play Count of Selected Tracks applescript to find the various play count numbers.
The graph was generated by Excel.
