Web Interface/Frontend

Describe the Feature/Enhancement

I always find it weird that Top 10 Authors uses book count instead of hours count, so that Author A with 20 short stories of 30 minutes each will be on it, but Author B with only one book, a 150 hours "The Complete Works", will not.

There could be a toggle to change if the stats are counted by number of books or by hour count, like a button that would show "by items", and would change to "by hours" if clicked.

Same for Top Genres, though I'm not actually sure how it's currently calculated.

Why would this be helpful?

Making the Stats page reflect more accurately the contents of your library.
