iPod play count

timmer:

I’ve noticed that my song count doesn’t accurately reflect my listening habits.. It seems this is another case of binary logic: the song only registers a play if it reaches the absolute end of the file and switches to the next one. I often dislike many long, drawn out endings in songs and will skip to next. Because I’ve heard 95% of the song, shouldn’t that count as a ‘play’? I’m starting to use smart-playlists (a very cool feature in iTunes) and would love it if they showed an accurate picture of my listening behaviour

I second that… I’ve been using smart playlists for years and the “you have to play till the end” thing gets in the way of being as smart as possible.
