You might have noticed that every set shows the listening time, eg “3d 15h” (at least until recently, now we changed this to hours only). This means that listeners have listened to a particular set 3 days and 15 hours all together (3d x 15h = 87 hours).
As we think that the time someone keeps listening to a set is of major importance, we track every minute people are listening, not only the play counts or plays of a set.
