Play Count OCD

I think that I got to take a step back. I’m getting a bit over familiar with the play count of my iTunes library. If I click on play count the songs arrange in order of how many times they’ve been played. It’s getting to the stage when I notice when a song has moved up in the top twenty.
To register a song being played the song must end. Which means if I’m out somewhere, lets say going to the pub and I’m listening to my ipod on the way there, and I’m almost there but the song hasn’t finished, then I will start to walk real slow so the song ends and it will count as being played.
And I’m often in a dilemma about skipping songs. Some songs, the song in itself has really ended but there’s two minutes of feedback which sometimes becomes boring after a minute or so. I can either ride through and see it to the end, or fast forward until there's a second or two left so the song counts as being played.
Sometimes I’m listening to something and feel like listening to something else. The rule I’ve set myself is that if it’s about two thirds through I can skip to the end. Under that and it’s okay to skip to another song and not count as a play.
When I bought a new laptop last May the play count was reset. This did kind of distress my for a moment I must admit. The top ten songs were almost hitting a hundred.
The play count doesn’t resister all the music I listen to because a lot of the time I listen to music on a small stereo next to my bed. I did think about noting down what I had listened to and then the day later click on the songs on iTunes and then skip to the end to register a play.
But then I realised that would just be fuckin’ insane.
