You've played this song over 1 billion times.

I plugged in my iPod yesterday and noticed that I had some rather strange play count statistics on some (812 of them) of the songs on it:

I took care of this by simply resetting the play counts for the effected songs, but I'm still searching for the cause of the anomaly. Any help is appreciated.

I'm still jonesin' for a new firmware update. Especially one that will do away with the pause between the end of one song and the beginning of another. I know that the iPod looks ahead to see what song is next and loads that into memory to decrease hard drive accesses, so I'm baffled as to why there is a pause. iTunes doesn't exhibit this behavior.
