Source code: dataPortrait_v4 song

This Data Portrait utilizes the data taken from an itunes library and displays song names based on data specific to that particular song.

• A song's position along the x axis is mapped to the year it was originally released. The earliest year in this dataset is 1992, the most recent is 2011. The newer the song is, the farther right it is displayed.
• A song's position along the y axis is mapped to the amount of times it has ben played by the user. The higher up the song name, the more times it has been played.
• The size and opacity of the text is mapped to when the song was added to the itunes library, showing how recently the song has been 'discovered' by the user.
• The colour is based on genre. Red denotes rock music, grey denotes metal, and green denotes pop/country.
• You can scroll over the text to make it appear larger and at 100% opacity so that small, faint text can become readable.
