A trackback for audio files?
Today I wrote a post on my Dutch blog about the Trackback for weblogs. This works nicely.
But it only works for text.
I was thinking that it would be possible to create some sort of tracking system for audio files as well.
The statistics of a website already show which files are played, referred, by which servers. So we already have all the information we need, right?
Wouldn't it be possible to create such a script and create a plugin for WordPress? A little plugin which will keep track of these referrers. By adding the function to your blogpost all visitors would be able to simply check out which sites are referring to the file(s).
One simple way of doing this might be using the rel attribute.
Or is my way of thinking not correct? Victor, Lucas, anyone?

I like the idea very much and I know of one player which supports a system like this. Actually we could extend the XSPF file format with a stats extension and create this trackback for audio files within a playlist.
That would be great.

Thanks Mike, I probably will look into that soon (ccHost code).
