      Music players have been keeping play counts since before the invention of the iPod. It’s a datapoint that users have come to expect. I actually wish services like Spotify or Apple Music did a better job of displaying this data throughout the year rather than just in end of year infographics.

      Like I dunno, Google is literally collating your location data, I hardly think music plays is top secret info.
