cool thing :)

I think you can't read the timestamp of every track played on the ipod,
since only the last time a song was played is saved. If you play the
same song twice, it won't remember, when you heard it before. But the
playcount is increased, so with faked timestamps you could submit every
as often as it was played.

Oh that's cool, didn't know that, I just saw the spam protection
triggered several times.

Yeah, sure.
