A new version of Turntable, the standalone music scrobbling tool and desktop ‘now playing’ controls for Linux, is out with a couple of notable new features. Given the app is a conduit for relaying your listening habits, this update adds “wrapped year-in-review” style recap of your hither logged listening habits. Well, kinda.
