Top Hits - and maybe Top Albums?
« on: April 08, 2002, 02:03:48 pm »
Hi

The Top Hits list does not work well for me as I tend to listen to say, half an album - well, (maybe a whole one) at a time. As a result the list has many tracks from the same albums.

Might I suggest that you have a similar list, but for albums? In this way, you can determine which are the most frequently played albums as opposed to individual tracks.

But wait! If one album has 20 tracks do you score 20 hits, where another album has 4 tracks and only scores 4? The ranking would have to be a function of the number of tracks, so that one track of album A would score 0.05 and one track of album B would score 0.25...

Could this be done?  Would anyone else find this useful, or am I just becoming a bean counter?

I really think that is a good idea, and like it...
