Track times work for me as well. I think it is because the encoder I used and most likely you used creates an xing VBR header which I believe states the average bitrate of the song. I did a little test and encoded a file VBR and suppressed that header and the counter would fluctuate and even decrease at times, but not just sit at zero.
