The other day, I was showing my profile to one of my freinds and he pointed out that I favored over 2,000 songs. I had to let him know that the favorite button is used more as a "like" button.
Because of this I suggest adding a "like" button or something similar to it and restarting the favorites list. This will provide a wider range and more realistic feedback on songs and is more reasonable than favoriting songs you just kind of like.

theres a big difference between liking something and loving it
Do you have facebook?
I see what you're saying, but imagine tracks that have a favourite and like button, it makes it a little tacky and confusing.
The current system is sufficient, imo. Besides, if you want a seperate like/favourites list you can make a private playlist.
Perhaps a better implementation regarding this would be to add a default private playlist for all users to organize and differentiate the tracks they like and favourite. (This would be similar to the implementation YouTube has with default private playlists: Favourites, Watch Later, etc.)
Btw, a little piece of trivia, Twitter used to have favourites too, so it's not all uncommon. However, they did switch in favour of likes later on, as it's their current system.
