Listening Stats in Mornye: Your Year in Sound, Explained

A mirror, not a report card

Every listener has a theory about their own taste, and every theory is slightly wrong. The statistics in the Mornye official site exist to correct it kindly: the artists you actually returned to, the albums that quietly became furniture, the listening shape of your weeks.

Nothing here is a judgement. A recap that shows one artist towering over your year is not an accusation; it is a portrait of a year in which that music was needed, and most listeners find theirs oddly moving.

What Mornye counts

The player tallies plays as you listen and builds the statistics and recap screens from them: heavy rotation albums, most played artists, and the rhythm of your listening across days and periods. The screenshots on our homepage show both the recap introduction and the statistics view.

Because the counting happens on your phone, from your own files, it covers the listening that streaming-era summaries miss entirely: the old rips, the live recordings, the albums that exist nowhere but your shelf. There is more on this in Mornye themes and accent colours, written from the same test library.

What it never does

Your statistics are computed locally and they stay local. There is no account to send them to and no audience unless you choose to talk about them yourself, which is exactly how a personal library should behave.

That privacy changes how honest the numbers can be. Nobody performs their taste for an invisible audience here. The recap reflects the 11 pm listening, the repeated comfort album, the real library life. The Mornye app keeps that tally on the device itself, which is exactly why its numbers can afford to be honest.

Reading your recap well

Look for surprises first: the artist in your top five you would never have named, the album from three years ago that outplayed everything new. Those surprises are usually where your taste is quietly heading, and they make excellent shopping and ripping lists.

Then look for absences. A beloved record missing from your year often means it is filed where you never browse, in the wrong section or under a mangled artist tag. Fix the shelf, and the music comes back into your life. When you are ready to go further, building Mornye playlists for real life picks up where this page stops.

Making next year richer

Use the recap as a curator, not a critic. Build one section from your heavy rotation, one from artists the statistics say you neglected, and let the two shelves argue pleasantly across the next few months.

Listening statistics cannot improve your taste, and they should not try. What they do beautifully is show you your own habits clearly enough to choose them on purpose, which is the beginning of every good library. It is exactly what the Mornye music player was made for: a calm home where your shelves sound as good as they look.
