modify play count?
« on: March 31, 2009, 10:24:52 AM »
Hi,

I use the "most played plays/score" feature within the database quite a lot to generate playlists.

unfortunetly, i have the habit of leaving my player switched on and playing - this has the annoyance of quickly bringing tracks to the top of the playcount which arent necessarily those i want to always listen to.

is there a way of modifying the playcount manually ...  ?

thanks

If you're going through to manually edit playcounts, why don't you just go through and manually add things to playlists?

Hi,  - thanks for the response

I do, create / modify playlists as well.  on some occasions though, i like to listen to this feature as it turns up some interesting trends in music i listen to but might not traditionally add to a playlist.

I just like the automation of it all and it gives me a good mix of my tracks

Its just unfortunate that i have ended up with some tracks at the top of this list that i dont want there. I could wait for them to naturally filter down the list, but with 4000 tracks in total this would take a long time.

i was just wondering if there was a mechanism by which hand manipulation of the playcount was technically possible?

I don't know of an easy way.  However, you could try exporting modifications and edit the resulting database_changelog.txt accordingly.  Then import the edited database_changelog.txt and you should be able to achieve what you want.
