Description Antti Tuominen 2005-04-19 09:57:55 UTC 
I find the "Play Count" column in the streams part rather useless, since it
basically just tells you how often have you selected to play it, or it might
even tell indirectly how unstable the stream is.

What I'd like to see is Rhythmbox tracking the total amount of time of playback
and displaying that instead of the vague Play count column.

This could be generalized to all back-ends. For now, the count on audio files is increased based of a complete walk through the file but I might return to the start of an audio file before the end of it. Thus, it could be convenient to have an extra info field that display how long has been played this audio file. Lets call this field: Play Time (make it close to 'Play Count').

It could, but why?  How would it be useful?
Comment 3 Emmanuel Fleury 2007-12-01 13:14:49 UTC 
I did try to think about it, the only point in favor of what I said would be to help an automatic rate computation to perform more accurate distribution... But I'm no more sure it would be that useful. :-/
