Are you sharing your computer with other people. They could be playing stuff in the software while you are still logged in.

Well here's some possibilities: When you log out of the software, you're still technically logged in, in the sense that as the last logged in person anything that's played in the software gets credited to you. The next person would have to log in themselves in order for plays to count to them and not you.

Another possibility is that something in your collection is being mis-read as something else. That could be a metadata thing. Do you see anything in your collection that could possibly be mistaken for the item you got a badge for (maybe a group is sharing the same song title, etc).

Those are things I could think of at the moment, so let's start there.

re: Plays and Badges
No, i have my own computer. And the badges are for bands I've never heard of or listen to. And Some of my top song counts are kind of high. I can promise you i don't listen to the same 303 song 120 times. I do listen to alot of music and i do take pride in what i listen to and i really don't like the idea of someone in my account. oh and my live account (e-mail) has been flooded with spam, links?????

re: Plays and Badges
I have recently been playing music from my zune software listening to JFAC new album consistently and all of a sudden I notice it switched all by itself to Nickelback that I have in collection. I was like WTF. It has done it twice on me before I went in yesterday and changed my password. You do have an option in the settings of your account on zune.net to have the password change every certain amount of time. I think my account was got into from my home page I had. I was logged in it, and it would automatically let me go to my profile when I load my homepage. So I think someone was playing around with my account. I deleted my homepage so no one has access to my profile now. If I have my homepage back up I am going to password protect the whole page or site.
