Guy plays the same song over 60,000 times: "I like the song"
-
I'm always amazed by the kind of weirdos that find their way to 4chan.
2 years ago, someone claims they've seen a friend's iTunes library. He only had one song. And he had played it like 30K times.
Today someone pops in and claims they are the weirdo from the original post.
He still has only one song.
Played it 30K more times since.
No other songs.
He played it 2 more times while providing proof.http://imgur.com/gallery/Etbw04B
If it's a hoax, it's damn good one.

I guess it's technically possible. It'd be like 150 days straight playing time (assuming the song is 3:20 long, with the reported number of plays) but it is spread over ~4 years (extrapolating from 2 years to double the play count), so you're only looking at about 10% of the time spent playing (average of about 43 plays per day), so yeah, quite possible. It would allow time for sleeping, and even possibly holding down a job.
Just a very boring person. I wonder if he also always eats the same meals, etc. There have been documented cases of people doing just that. (I remember seeing in the press about someone who ate a Christmas dinner every day. Not that the food is bad, but every single day??? Come on!)
-
iTunes even counts plays when you're not awake though.
I fell asleep a few times while listening to music on my iPod way back when I had one. Which is why some songs and albums had a surprising amounts of plays in iTunes.

I dunno, I could see myself doing that if I wasn't restricted to a specific kind of Christmas dinner.

...is it inconceivable that he has other music outside of iTunes? Listens to the radio? Anything?

The stories and information posted here are artistic works of fiction and falsehood.
Only a fool would take anything posted here as fact.
-
i have songs that have close to 4 digits in their play count...
but that? that's a little excessive even for me.
-
Man when I was in college and super-depressed that song was like my own personal anthem.
I can see it. It's equally likely it's a hoax. Whatever.
People can do what they like.
-
Does iTunes count it as played even if you only do the first couple of seconds?
-

I certainly hope so. If Apple had the means to detect whether users are awake or asleep, that would be too creepy to contemplate.
-
Apple smart watch that has a heart monitor? Pretty sure that's probably a thing.
-
You are aware your heart doesn't stop when you go to sleep, right?
-
Yes but your heart does sort of slow down...
-
It also does that when you listen to soothing music.
-
Not quite to the same level, and Apple would be able to detect if the music is soothing or not.
-
Or, as a compromise, you could both set your ituneses to display “calories burned while listening” instead of number of plays.
-
What makes you think I use iTunes as a music player? I have to use it for certain things but not as a music player ;)

Autistic maybe?
My older autistic son will hum the same tune over and over for YEARS. Drives my younger son batty some days.

Stress testing your computer?

Stress testing your self?

Whereas I only use it as a music player. Don't get me wrong: I wouldn't choose to install it, but I don't want to get another one instead of using the player that came with the OS.

Is QuickTime not music player enough for Mac users?

It doesn't do playlists. Unlike some people, I actually listen to quite a long rotation of songs…
-
...but, but... iTunes store all music data in an XML file, which is trivial to edit.
Stupid story.

A friend from high school was obsessed with that song, I could easily see him doing that.

I hear a song/album once or twice and I'm good for the next month. I had college roommates who would put a single CD on repeat for an entire day or two and I couldn't stand it.
Listening to the same song 60,000 times? I'd have to be locked away in a padded room after that.

I used to work with a woman who did that with Nickelback CDs. So not only are you listening to the same CD over and over, the CD is full of songs that all sound exactly alike.
I basically went crazy.

The blakeyrat's origin story.
Unrelated, I just listened to this Linkin Park song for the first time. It's meh. I guess college rock + rap is not my style.

Nickelback

I had a roommate with a 3-disc CD changer (when such things were pretty new). He had 3 Pearl Jam CDs, and played them for an entire day. I used to like those guys, but I still have some kind of allergy to their music.
-
Bands are like types of liquor. If you have too much of a specific one, you get sick of it.
-
And this is why Nickelback suck just that much.

They just set off to master those four chords to perfection.

I do get my obsessions once in a while, where I'd listen for a single song over and over, but they do tend to pass fairly quickly. I usually obsess longer about whole bands - currently Muse is in rotation.

Maybe nobody taught the guy the concept of music, and he thought there's only one song? Or maybe he's poor and his parents only gave him 99 cents?

The Sarah Silverman show did an episode where Brian's iPod is found to have only one song on it, that he's been listening to for five years. Spin Doctors - Two Princes.

This crazy guy is back
-
He's nearly at 100k! Why does this remind me of a certain thread here?
-
thanks to the magic of time travel I can beat his playcount!
(that's a solid year and a half of listening only to that song)
-
Linkin Park is not college rock.
-
-
Well, it has been 9 months and he has only played it 31657 times more than before.
So a bit over a hundred times a day average. About 7 hours a day then?I don't think I've liked any song enough to play it even 10 times a day.

About the time In The End came out, I was a frequent visitor of animemusicvideos.org, and became somewhat of a connoisseur of fan-made anime music videos. And I learned that when the video was either a) using Dragonball Z as its video source, or b) using Linkin Park as its audio, it was going to be crap.

@CHUDbert probably literally. If the OOP here hasn't offed themselves by now, they must really suck at everything.
