Depending on how the play counter works already, this might be almost
already built in for you.  If the play counter only increments after a
song gets to 100% (or 80 or 90%) then aborted plays won't increment
song counts and skew statistics.

If the play counter doesn't already work this way, then I think this
would be a useful enhancement to add in.
