last.fm considers you to have listened to a song once you have listened to half of the song, or four minutes, whichever is the smaller. It would be useful if quodlibet would update lastplayed after a similar fraction of the song had been played. There are certain songs in my library that have long outros that I don't always want to listen to, but if I want Last Played to be accurate I have to either listen to the end or manually advance to 3 seconds before the end, rather than just hitting Skip once I've listened to the majority of the song.

second that, would be cool.

In general, I think a signal that would fire at either a particular time during playback or simply one that marks the half-way point would be useful, both internally and for plugins. Mid-song events are not exactly a corner case any more, and the half-way point is a sensible compromise.

Since many other behaviorial changes will be made with 2.5, it seems more appropriate to defer this one until then.

It will be great.
