This idea doesn't come from me directly, but it was an interesting thought I heard from someone regarding last.fm. Last.fm tracks the songs and artists you listen to, but it doesn't have any statistics based on time listened.
Let's say you spend an hour at your desk listening to music. If that time was spent listening to punk music, you might go through more songs and artists in that time period than if you were listening to prog rock, based on the average song lengths in those genres. Over time, this would skew your stats, and while you might spend equal time listening to punk, your stats based on the number of songs will probably show you listen to punk a whole lot more.
