Play Count of your Library

I lost my itunes paly count after I had to uninstall the whole thing But there were certain tracks that were played regularly and I did have some albums with only one play in a year. I tend now to listen to Spotify which does not have play counts.

I tend to listen to whole albums, but also have a best of play list from each of my main genres and then an overall best of from that.

who knows I use foobar2000 and not iTunes.

Anyways library consists of 28,595 tracks and comes out to 219GB as of just now :)

I listen songs randomly. There are few songs that i don't listen to. 

Btw, ^ nosferatu reminds me of a game.

I used it as my gamer tag in the good 'ol Quake II / Unreal Tournament days back in the late 90s / early 2000s.  I've just stuck with it.  It also is the name of a vampire, though I have no interest in that type of stuff. 

I quite often stop a track before the end, which prevents the play count registering. I've noticed, though, that the play count seems to reflect play numbers on mobile devices as well, so the most-played tracks on my iTunes were actually played on my wife's iPod, not on the PC at all. The numbers also get thrown off if you re-rip and have used custom album or track titles; (I'm always re-ripping my music at higher bit rates).

Even though the count is very inaccurate, though, it is still very interesting. According to my iTunes, I've only played 7326 of my 34,000 tracks through once. Even though I'm sure that this is wildly inaccurate, it still gives some idea of how much of my music I don't listen to. 3624 tracks have been played through at least twice, and 358 at least ten times.

If you exclude repetitions, I've listened to over 694 hours of music on my iTunes (that's the run-time of the 7326 songs).

Oh, and I've spent over eight hours of my life listening to one track ("The Magus" by John Zorn)  ... and it only came out last year!

I let last.fm keep track of what I listen to.  It's not perfect, but it does keep track of what I listen to on multiple PCs in iTunes, and my iPod.     The tracks that come to the top are ones that I use for evaluation,  or ones that I have many versions of.  The top count of any one track is 33.  What I find more interesting is you can see how many tracks you've listened to from each artist.  My top artist is Zappa with 2700 tracks with Miles Davis second with 800.

I've also listened to 68,000 tracks since April 2008

last.fm can keep track of what you listen to in foobar

On my Clip it's on random/shuffle. On my PC I play whatever I'm in the mood for at the time. Sometimes it's White Zombie and sometimes it's Mel Tillis.

not too interested in keeping track but thanks for the heads up!  :)

I used to use WinAMP and I know it tracked me...and I still like the program...it's just WASAPI on foobar = better sound quality
