How minutes are counted

[saxophoner101]

Just curious!!

I keep hearing about this rule saying that listening to 30 seconds of a song counts it as a stream.  If I listen to the first 30 seconds of a song and move somewhere else, do the 30 seconds count toward my Wrapped minutes or is the song's whole duration counted because it was a "stream?"  Let me know if you have an answer or if this makes sense!

Hey @saxophoner101, 

Thanks for searching for the answer you need here! 
 

Listening to a track for at least 30 seconds will be counted as a stream and it's expected to be included in your listening stats.

Hope this helps. Let us know if you have any questions.
