Surely that's impossible?? :-P -

Yeah, CRYONIC CHANTS is great - I think we have bn to think for that, been a while tho.

I meant population (of library), so 2. 164 comes from the unique set of playcounts? That doesn't seem very illuminating by itself. In the same vein maybe a list of top 10 playcounts would at least illustrate your peak relistening habits? My 10th hig…

That's literally 20x the size of my or likely anyone else's lib here. :-P Have you managed to actually tag it all correctly??

9y later update, no surprises really:
Tracks: 66k
Size: 600GB
Median track length: 4:25
Median year: 2002
Median track plays: 5
% of library with no plays: 0.6%
Listened to 55% of the lib in the last 2 … -
Btw, I still like this idea, and this thread is old - will be interesting to see what's changed when I have a chance.

(Quote) Steve's an old friend of mine from the early 90s - he's a wonderful and generous listener, writer, and arts advocate.My comment is more a reflection of using the car as a forcing function to listen to CDs and benefitting from that. My recent cars are all old, with no aux-in or better, so my only option for phone play is using one of those bluetooth/FM transmitters…Huh, I never thought about new cars lacking CD players. That's a drag, I actually like listening to CDs in the car sometimes because I do so rarely at home. No biggie, just hadn't occurred to me about car stereo evolution and market in that respect.last.fm year overviews are up: https://www.last.fm/user/vkargatis/listening-report/yearThese are audio or mp3 CDs? Audio only uses CD-Text, right? Could there be inconsistency in how CD-Text is burned? If mp3 and you've compared files, then sounds like player bugginess.I'd guess there are some deep values differences there, and I'm not quite up to trying to suss them out.

A couple factoid additions (not bothering updating above stats):

"I wonder if someone could commit a noble but immoral act"
Hm, that strikes me as pretty easy, since both are distinct value judgments. Seems trivial to think about acts many would consider noble that violate utility, for example. In fact…Bobby's put one of his best/classic records for NYOP.
