Well I guess sold is a strong word.

What glitches if I may ask?

Albums I've downloaded getting split apart with the songs suddenly assigned to different releases like singles, comps, etc. Has been happening to a few albums every month and then I have to put them back together.

That is my biggest headache/why I stopped using my iTunes library... the "management" of it was already taken care of it for me when I use Spotify.

I do feel like it sounds way better than Spotify though. Less dynamic albums I can't really tell the difference, but others I'm wowed by the sound improvement.

Small beef I do have is that I think the Top Albums stat only works for traditional albums. In theory the math works like this - average album is 10 songs or whatever, but let's say you listen to longer works - that makes it so a 10 song album has less of a chance... you gotta listen to that 7 times before 69 love songs matches as a single listen.

Anyway, a bit of a completionist, but would prefer the full album listened to as a single count instead of basically how many tracks are on an album, and if it is longer, that's your "top album"... lazy math say I... the dude complaining about a site that apparently is now defunct.

yeah, i agree with that. i think the better solution would be to count an entire album listen (basically go by the lowest play count on the record) rather than by each track. but then a lot of people don't listen to albums, so the site caters to that....
