@ -4,10 +4,14 @@ MPDStats Plugin
``mpdstats`` is a plugin for beets that collects statistics about your listening
habits from `MPD`_. It collects the following information about tracks:
* play_count: The number of times you *fully* listened to this track.
* skip_count: The number of times you *skipped* this track.
* last_played: UNIX timestamp when you last played this track.
* rating: A rating based on *play_count* and *skip_count*.
* ``play_count``: The number of times you *fully* listened to this track.
* ``skip_count``: The number of times you *skipped* this track.
* ``last_played``: UNIX timestamp when you last played this track.
* ``rating``: A rating based on ``play_count`` and ``skip_count``.
To gather these statistics it runs as an MPD client and watches the current state
of MPD. This means that ``mpdstats`` needs to be running continuously for it to
work.
