+1, conditional on it being optional. If possible, sounds like something that would be great to have as an individual setting for playlists. Library filter counts I am all for with no caveats.
EDIT: So I went and found
the thread from the previous time this was requested (by Phred, with support from me, Psychoadept and Boroda - no change there then!). I had completely forgotten that the mouseover statistics were implemented as a compromise for this. I still think it could be a nice option as a per-playlist setting (particularly for static playlists), but I imagine Steven will probably have reasons now for not wanting to do a full implementation that are the same as they were then.
