The 24-Hour DialWhen the day gets played

When the day gets played, laid on one 24-hour clock. All-time, the listening piles into the evening, peaking at 10pm. The split holds the same evening habit, weekdays cresting near 11pm and weekends near 10pm. Spoke length is plays or minutes heard, and a redder spoke means the hour ran heavier.

Minutes & LengthHow long the tracks run

The median track runs 4:04, but the record refuses one length: it stretches from a 0:05 fragment to a 33:00 piece. The 174 tracks past eight minutes are the drone-and-ambient tail; the short bins are songs proper.
