Reading each category can be done in a single glance.
The vertical space in the middle separates the four fields, grouping then visually into the left ones and the right ones.
This vertical separation is much more prominent than the horizontal separation.
Since the four fields clearly have two logical categories, makes sense that the visual division corresponds to the logical division.
Thus, improving the reading of fields by category.
This way related fields (their labels and content) are closer and related boxes should have the same width.
Also, English is not my first language, but I think "Play count" instead of "Play counter" is more appropriate.
