make data realistic #7

A general idea would be to make the streaming data on our site more realistic.

This can concern the meta data (say, real Spotify IDs --> forwarding traffic to Spotify). It could also involve displaying real artist and album pictures (using the Spotify Web API).

Another way to make the data more realistic is to remove the randomness of consumption, and actually simulate trends (say, increases and decreases in music consumption), algorithmic biases from being featured on the site, etc.

I consider this an "open" issue where we can add ideas on what to do next with the data.
