Keeping Track of Vinyl Playback Time


I no longer have a phonostage that tracks playing time (hours). Would like to hear how guys keep track of the hours on a cartridge? I have three tonearms....an app would be nice. 

Thanks in advance.

Easy solution. One click per record side. Each record side approximately 20 minutes

I don’t. When I hear a problem with my stylist then I will know it is time for maintenance. 
 

My last cartridge boasted of +3,000 of play time. I had it for over fifteen years and never reached it. Sold the turntable. I was working then… I listen to more music now. 

SOTA has an accessory for some of their turntables called the Roadrunner.   It uses a Hall effect sensor to feed back the platter speed to the motor controller for precise speed .   One nice feature is that it also has a counter in it that keeps track of stylus time
