Do you think your profile is misrepresented because Last.fm only pays attention to the number of tracks, rather than the length thereof? If so, join this group and commiserate.

Aware of the difficulties the Last.fm server team would have, we propose that Last.fm and our profiles would be more accurate if our profiles reflected the time spent listening to artists, not the number of tracks.

If you'd like to link an article to the group (legitimately), please contact Andrewski. In fact, since Last.fm doesn't make keeping up with group activity easy, please contact Andrewski for anything you want him to see. :)

    I hate to be a downer, but you guys should be aware that this is probably never going to happen (at least not while last.fm is free). It's not even remotely feasible. The servers are unreliable enough as it is, and you're proposing a change that would require them to constantly perform calculations for every user on the site. Normalisr does it, but not with nearly as many users and not in real-time. If you care about the discrepancy, put the normalisr widget on your page and let it update once every few days. That's all you can do.

    Kind of annoying to have grindcore artists high in my top charts after 2-3 album listens when progressive rock bands tend to stay quite low due to the generally insane songs length. Actually, very annoying, considering I now mostly listen to bands that compose quite lengthy tracks. Somebody ought to tell last.fm staff what we really need, i.e. a system based on BOTH listening time and number of tracks listened, either separated or united with some kind of mathematical formula that gives people a better idea of what they actually listen to. The current system is outdated and inaccurate and not only because of this issue.

    I'm surprised that this group isn't bigger. I've always been slightly annoyed with the misrepresentation my charts get due to track length differences.

    @nick_InZoMNiAC you're absolutely right, like other options in last.fm: e.g duration time on which is based charts, it schould be also song counts or song durations. it's just obvious. i wonder why up to now there is no such options in last.fm. both options should be, and better, the third option which mixes somehow song length and song counts with some simple statistical weights.

    you're right, it will be the best solution I think:)

    Nothing's better than count both number of tracks and their length too))

    Just downloaded the longest single track (mp3) in my collection so far, 152.32 by Diatribes et al, whose length is 2h32m32s (i.e. 152 min 32 sec, from which the name of the track). Haven't listened to it yet, though...

    @nick_InZoMNiAC considering the fact that last.fm team didn't introduce many new features in the last few years I wouldn't expect song length tracking at all.

    This is needed... I listen to Miles Davis and Fela Kuti as much as Wire and Melt-Banana...

    Sebsials, you can edit(delete) these tags of the pop song if you want! The official last.fm response to the question is that it is feasible, it might be implemented some time in the feature, but it's by no way in their priority list.

    Ah so glad that there is a group for this. It is very irritating that I am told I listen to a pop group that I don't like, because some chick left them playing on my Spotify for an hour, when really I listen mainly to jazz, which quite often has tracks 40+ mins. Is there any suggestion that the Last.fm team might get round to implementing some kind of feature to satisfy us?

    I think we should have both options - rank by track plays and by duration. I hope it's implemented sometime soon, the Normaliser uses Musicbrain or something for track lengths I suppose, which is not accurate because lots of tracks are missing

    Because last.fm won't count my 20 minute long song as more than an entire punk album, sometimes I'll divide the track in half and it will count for more listens. Now if only Normalisr was on a track by track basis

    Normalisr has two flaws, first it only works out stats for your /current/ top 50 artists so it's starting from potentially very distorted data anyway, it then goes and uses median track lengths for an artist. I really need to get back to work on my solution again sometime. @Teun666: No your right, number of plays is the correct way to rank individual songs. But artists need to be ranked by amount of time listened.
