Summary0004533: Satistics: Determinant for "Top 10 Artists Played" and "Top 10 Albums Played" is not obvious.
DescriptionAs reported here:
http://www.mediamonkey.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=27897

Re: Top 10 Albums Played, Top 10 Artists Played
The determinant here is "How many songs of this album/artist have been played"

e.g.
Album1: 20 tracks and 18 of them have been played only once.
Album 2: 15 tracks and all 15 track have been played 6 times.

The Album1 will be higher because more tracks of this album have been played.

But it seems that there should be another determinant/indicator more related to playcount.

e.g.
Sum( PlayCounter)
, but probably as Jiri suggested:
Avg( PlayCounter)
i.e. In the case of the most played Albums, it should be calculated as an average playcount of tracks of an album.

In case we want to change this, we should also rename the column 'Tracks', and replace it by e.g. 'Avg. Playcount' or leave the tracks column, but the determinant will be still hidden.

I'm trying to figure out a way of using existing strings, and creating a report that makes sense. Why not do the following:

Top 10 Albums Played:
Why not just keep 'Tracks' in the column but use the following determinant:
Total # of times a track from that album was played. e.g. in your example, 15*6=90x for b) vs 18x for a).

Top 10 Albums:
This section of the report is meaningless since it just shows the Album with the most tracks (usually an audiobook). How about changing 'Tracks' to 'Rating' and sort by average rating?

There's lots more we can do to improve this report, but that's for another time...

Re: "Top 10 Artists Played" and "Top 10 Albums Played"

Ok, you mean my originally proposed Sum( PlayCounter). Yes, I think that this makes the most sense.

Fixed 1155.

Re: "Top 10 Albums"
