A small box that sits beside your turntable, listens, and remembers what you played. No app to open, nothing to tap. You put a record on; it does the rest.
Streaming counts songs, because songs are what you skip between. A record is a side — you get up, you choose, you put the needle down. This knows whether you turned it over.
Your collection, what you have played, what is still waiting. Which pressing, which side, how long the needle was down.
Hours on the platter. Miles of groove under the stylus. The record you kept coming back to, and the fourteen you played once.
