You're listening to something on Soundcloud or Bandcamp and you love the song, so you listen all the way through.

Or, you hate it and you make it stop.

Or.. and this is what I'm wondering if anybody else does.. if you don't like it you leave it running but turn the volume on your computer off. I know on Bandcamp the artist/label can tell if you listened all the way through and on Soundcloud that premium members can tell who listened to them -- can they tell whether it was a complete listen?

Why do this? I dunno why I do.

There was something that happened with Spotify about this:

Bandcamp breaks it down like this:
A “complete” play means the track was played past the 90% mark. A “partial” play means the track was played past the 10% mark, but stopped before the 90% mark. A “skip” means the track was stopped before the 10% mark. Your own plays (while logged in) don’t count toward your stats.

So that's why we've got like 20% complete listens. :lol: :idk: :cry:

In a related matter that band's Mit Peck EP is great.

So yeah, not as bad as I implied. But still. I guess it goes with the progitory. :cool:

Also, thanks, though sake is the preferred drink to enjoy while taking a ride on the spaceship of error. :omg:

Fwiw I've just checked the Bandcamp stats on all my projects and the green yellow red divide is similar to yours
