Comment 3 for bug 748120

This is actually a very interesting observation that will affect any "generic recent files list" based on Zeitgeist.

My guess is that the Banshee history just describes all music playing activities as an event of typezg: UserActivity an a subject that is a nfo:FileDataObject and has interpretation nfo:Audio or something.

What I believe is the "correct" behaviour for the music player is to:

 - When the user manually selects a song log as described above
 - When the music player automatically skips to the next song the manifestation type of the event should be zg:ScheduledActivity[1]

With this logging pattern the "generic recent files list" will only contain the songs you manually selected for playback which I think is "correct" FWIW :-) (and will make the Unity lenses work without modification (== less work for me yay!))

[1]: The docs for zg:ScheduledActivity in fact reads: "An event that was directly triggered by some user initiated sequence of actions. For example a music player automatically changing to the next song in a playlist".
