# Requires a pingback on playing a track
#  → which is near impossible without player control.
#  → Automatic/implied notifications could work.
#  → Or checking via dbus/mpris even (less assertable).
#  → Else a customized playlist export with the reporting URL as
#    faux first entry even.
#  → Or an external URL redirector just (api.i-o/cache service).
