# When Does a Song Appear in My History?

I played song and it doesn't appear

**If you played the whole track it will be listed in recently played.  
However, if you skip a track in Spotify it will probably not appear in your airbuds history.**

Airbuds history is based on Spotify's playback rules:

-   **Played Fully:** Tracks played to the end will appear in your history.
    
-   **Skipped Tracks:** Skipping a track before it ends usually prevents it from being listed.
    
-   **Closing Spotify:** Closing Spotify mid-song may count the track as "played" when you reopen the app.
    
-   **Playlist Exclusions:** Songs from playlists with "Exclude from Taste Profile" enabled won’t appear in Airbuds history. If all the songs from a playlist don't appear in Airbuds, that's probably the reason.
    

### Key Rules

1.  Tracks skipped to the last few seconds and played to the end will appear.
    
2.  Tracks skipped mid-playback won’t appear.
    
3.  Tracks stopped at least 15 seconds before the end won’t appear.
    

These rules explain how songs are tracked in your Airbuds history.
