I found this thread researching options to resolve a similar sync need, and followed the suggestion to clone and modify the swapArtistTitle script to achieve both incrementing the playCounter and Last Played date (I drive a few smart playlists from Last Played). Here it is if it helps anyone:

[code]// C:\Program Files (x86)\MediaMonkey 5\Scripts\setLastPlayed\actions_add.js
// A simple script that sets last played
actions.setLastPlayednow = {
title: _('Set Last Played to now'),
hotkeyAble: true,
disabled: uitools.notMediaListSelected,
visible: window.uitools.getCanEdit,
execute: async function () {
var list = await uitools.getSelectedTracklist().whenLoaded();
if (list. Count === 0) {
return;
}

var msg = sprint(_('Are you sure that you want to set Last Played to now on %d files ?'), list.count);
messageDlg(msg, 'Confirmation', ['btnYes', 'btnNo'], {
defaultButton: 'btnNo',
title: _('Set Last Played to now'),
}, function (result) {
if (result.btnID === 'btnYes') {
var tmp;
list.forEach(function(itm) {
// Swap the fields
itm.beginUpdate();
itm.lastTimePlayed_UTC = app.utils.timestamp2DateTime( new Date().toISOString());
itm.playCounter = itm.playCounter + 1;
itm.endUpdate();
});
list.commitAsync();
}
});
}
}

window._menuItems.editTags.action.submenu.push({
action: actions.setLastPlayednow,
order: 22,
grouporder: 10
});[/code]

If you read my post carefully, I'm referring to individual songs, with a note on multi-selection - direct entry of the Played# value.
NOTHING is added.

And no, I have no problem with your reference.

I didn't notice that the beginning of this thread was that long ago.
But I was primarily responding to your suggestion from a few days ago.
There is a bug worth knowing about in the facility that you suggesting.
I wanted to warn about that. You have a problem with that?

You can change directly under "Properties" (also Multi Select) or:

The OP was asking for something where plays could be altered at the album level.

As you say, you can multi-select the tracks, but there is a trap (bug?) to be aware of.
Say the album has 3 tracks, each with 2 plays. In this case Track Properties will display Play Count of 6 (I.e 3*2 = 6) when you ,multi-select all tracks for the album.

But if you make an alteration to this value, it assigns your new value [b]to each of the tracks[/b].
ie. if you change this whole album play value from 6 to 9, you end up with each track having a play count of 9, giving an album play count of 27!

ie. it [b]displays[/b] Play Count for a selection of tracks, as [b]the sum of[/b] all play counts ... but it forgets this if you make a change, and it writes your value to every track in your selection..

[UPDATE] Issue tracked as https://www.ventismedia.com/mantis/view.php?id=19190

You can change directly under "Properties" (also Multi Select) or:
Alternative: View detail ... activate the "Played" field ... you can enter the value directly there.

Thank you for your comment.

I'm NOT a programmer.

Has anyone made the script yet?

itm.title = itm.artist;

itm.playCounter = itm.playCounter + 1;

Actually making such an addon should be very easy.

You can use existing /scripts/swapArtistTitle/ addon.

And just modify parts of it , namely instead of using:
[code]
itm.title = itm.artist;
[/code]

use

[code]
itm.playCounter = itm.playCounter + 1;
[/code]

Hi,
If someone wants to pick it up value can be Set/Get easily thru https://www.mediamonkey.com/docs/api/classes/Track.html#property_playCounter

Still very interested :-)

The manual way works but like for MM4, I will pay for such an addon :lol: :lol: :lol:

In the file listing I can get it to edit. However often it start to play instead of editing.

If you find that you are accidently starting track often, you can alter MM default.
The default action when the Enter key is pressed, or the tracks is double clicked, is to play the select track(s).
This can be changed, so that default action is to open the Track properties panel for the selected track(s).

Thank you very much. I have changed that.

If anyone makes a increment / decrement addon for MM5, please let us know. I can do it manually one track at a time, but most often i play a whole album, and I used to select the whole album and say increment by one. That was convinient.

Thank you very much.

Found them both.

See Properties > Details > Play counter: [...]

BTW: Use F2 key in filelisting for faster edits

Thank you for your anwers.

I don't synchronize, it words fine manually.

In the file listing I can get it to edit. However often it start to play instead of editing.

It would be better in properties, but I Just can't find it in there, unless it somehow has to be added manually under custom?
