"views" versus "plays"

I noticed that on my latest track under info it says "37 views", but it only has 7 plays. What exactly does that mean? did 30 people go to my tracks page and NOT play it? were they just checkin out my cover design or what? haha

Views keeps track of when someone goes to look at the track's page. Any time someone goes into any of the tabs in the track page (comments, assets, etc.), the tracks gets a new view. This occurs for every tab that is clicked. I don't know why it works like this, but it does.

Probably also for bots crawling the internet...

This also happens when you look at your own track's page. I forgot to mention that.
