Re: [Rhythmbox-devel] Another Play Counter?

["Joel Duggan" <joelduggan gmail com>]

Current behaviour of "play count" would cause extra "aborts".  It only
increments when the song reaches 100%.  This means the "start count"
would increment when the song starts and then "play count" would not
be incremented when the app closes.
