What counts as a play, a skip, or a completed listen?
See why a track can count as both a play and a skip, and how replaying one section affects completion.
You played the first 45 seconds of a four-minute song, then chose something else. Moosik can count that session as one play and one skip. A play tells you that you spent enough time listening. A skip tells you how the session ended.
Three numbers for one song
- Play. One session qualifies after 30 seconds of audible listening, or half the song’s known duration, whichever comes first. A 40-second interlude can qualify at 20 seconds. Two separate 15-second attempts at a four-minute track won’t combine into a play.
- Completed listen. A finished session needs at least 90% distinct coverage of a known-length track. Looping a favorite 30-second chorus builds listening time, but each part of the chorus counts only once toward coverage.
- Skip. Replacing a partly heard track before 90% coverage can count as a skip. Pausing it or closing the player does not register one.

Open Listening stats → Songs, find the track, and open View listening details. When comparing reports, use the same date range. A session crossing midnight can qualify for a play across two days together even if neither day contains enough audible seconds on its own. Moosik excludes pauses, buffering, and time muted inside the app from listening time.
