I'd like to have finer-grained local statistics than last.fm can provide; the sorts of questions I'm trying to answer here are:

* which songs do I frequently skip (probably mostly in random listening) early enough that they don't scrobble
* time-based listening tracking
* tracking of songs shorter than last.fm's 30-second cutoff
* which sequences of songs do I like (i.e., pairs of songs that I frequently don't skip past)
* full-album listens in sequence versus random plays (partially covered by the above)
* stats normalized against various quantities like number of songs (or net playtime of songs) by the artist in my collection or the amount of time I've had the artist in my collection ("Would The Beatles still be at the top of my list if I'd had X, Y, Z artists back in 2007?")

Mostly I only care about the data collection for early releases; implementing specific statistics can be done later if the data's there.
