iTunes gives me some intesting info. For example, in the two weeks since I picked up the new Pete Yorn CD, Day I Forgot, I listened to the following songs:

                           Count  Rank
 1. Intro/Come Back Home    10     10
 2. Crystal Village         12      6
 3. Carlos                  12      6
 4. Pass Me By              12      6
 5. Committed               15      2
 6. Long Way Down            8     12
 7. When You See the Light  14      3
 8. Turn of the Century     10     11
 9. Burrito                 17      1
10. Man in Uniform          13      4
11. All At Once             12      6
12. So Much Work            13      4

I definitely recommend it if you liked the first CD, musicforthemorningafter. Most of the time I listen to the CD straight through, but the play counts catch all of the times I cheat and skip a song (like poor #6). It's like a cummulative CD mood indicator. Ha, OK I don't know what that means either.

What would be nice in the future is if iTunes could clean itself by deleting music that you haven't listened to in a while. I'm already gathering cruft around the edges of my collection on my iBook. If you downloaded the music (ie. from iTunes Music Store), iTunes would be smart enough to ask you if you wanted to burn that old music first before it deleted it. Of course that means iTunes has to keep track of what you've burned and where *hint Apple!*. Then you can keep your collection recent as well as save space on laptops and iPods (and other portables).
