+# How Much Time You Spent On Listening Spotify ?
+Honestly i was wondering this question for sometime and finally decided to make a python script to answer this question. There are easier ways of learning your listening time like downloading an app on your phone but i just wanted to make my own version.
+
+In this readme file i will be teaching you how to get your data from Spotify and learn your listening time.
+## How to get your listening data from Spotify?
+1. To get your data go to this adress https://www.spotify.com/us/account/privacy/
+
+2. Request your data by following the steps under 'Download your data' headline.
+
+## How to calculate your total listening time?
+1. Download your data by going to your mailbox and finding the mail from Spotify that contains your data.
+
+2. Open the file and go to 'MyData' and select every file that starts with 'StreamingHistory' and put them in the folder named 'your-data' in the folder of script. You can also put every file in there too but this looks better
+
+3. Open the script, after running the script, it will print a line that contains your listening time data.
