Switching playcount increment time

Max,

In commit 1f92c6a4fb40e3885ca29783e1bc4add644305a5 you stated:

"increase playcount immediatly instead of only after half the song has
been played. The latter can take a while for long tracks. This should
probably be discussed, but at least this way it seems to be handled
consistently in Amarok."

Is there a reason that you did this without discussion first, as opposed
to suggesting that there should be a discussion later?

Not only does this break Last.fm scrobbling semantics (and semantics of
the upcoming FMPS spec/integration) but it's not a very sane value as it
means that simply skipping past songs that you don't want to hear could
trigger an increase in playcount if they play for a tiny amount of time.

Thanks,
Jeff
