Needs more intellectual evaluating of music players usage time
IMHO: usage time of Audio and Video players must not be evaluated as active usage time, but in playing time. At least you can check when most popular applications (Amarok, Rhythmbox and others ) are in playing mode.
I’m sad

Inappropriate?From FAQ:
My reported times are wrong! I used software X much longer/shorter than it says on my profile!
This is actually part of our approach to get the best usage information. This could have two reasons:
Idle
You didn't touch your mouse or keyboard for longer than 30 seconds. After this time your computer switches into "idle mode", where the Wakoopa tracker doesn't register any software usage.
Multitasking
It could happen that you use a lot of software at once, switching from one program to the other. This way certain applications run in the background, and those are displayed separately on the right side of your usage page.
I’m confident

Inappropriate?And there's 'What I use in the background' at your Usage page :)7 Comments

I read this page before you paste it here, but you, probably, do not ready my post.
I say that for music players playing mode is an actual - active time. -
So, you suggest introducing new mode - Playing - alongside with Active, Background? It's ridicules.
Ну или напиши на русском, чтоб мы друг друга поняли. -
Я предлагаю воспринимать режим проигрывания в плеерах как активное время использование, а не бэкграунд-мод. Поскольку, под понятием бэкраундного выполнения подразумевается простой, а что, как ты думаешь, я могу делать с плеером кроме как слушать музыку в бэкраунде, и чтобы время его использования считалось как Usage Time? Вот о чём я =)
-
Значит, я все правильно понял, и считаю по прежнему, что это странно. Иначе многие резидентные программы нужно считать по такому принципу, что несколько нелогично, т.к никакого интерактивного взаимодействия с программой ты в этот момент не совершаешь, она просто работает в фоне, как и антивирус, например, или торрент-клиент.
-
Поэтому я и не отнёс антивирусы и торрент-клиенты к этому списку. В аудиоплеерах и видеоплеерах взаимодействие происходит иначе. Я не использую саму программу, а результат её работы - то есть: слушаю музыку и смотрю кино. В этот момент я вообще могу не использовать клавиатуру и мышку =)

Guys, please keep your comments in English. That way, others might have use for it in the future.

Kirill explains that he suggests to count the time when the player actually plays music as active, not as working at background, because he assumes that working in background equals idle and there's nothing else besides actually playing music, that music players could do at background.
I said that I was getting it right from the beginning and still don't think that it's right because when player works at background (although it still plays music) there's no user interaction with app and this behavior is similar for other apps like anti-viruses of torrents from my point of view.
Kirill explains that is why he didn't mention such software in the topic, because when his player works at background he still gets the results of this work in real time. -
Inappropriate?I agree that for music players, the usage in the background is just as valuable as that in the foreground sometimes. This is just a interface problem though, and we'll sort it out in the future.
