Love to know if VDJ could be made to count the number of plays a track gets and tracks it.

Me too, great feature.., the down side though, makes you realise how sad you are listening to your favourite tunes hundreds of times over!.

The date when a tune was last played would be really useful too.

If you have access to a unix or linux system, here is a quick single command to get the number of times each song has been played, based on the contents of the C:\\Program Files\\Virtual DJ\\history.txt file:

grep "^[012]" history.txt | cut -d "-" -f 2- | sort -c | sort -rn

The output will be in order of most to least played and will be the filename with the number of plays before it.

Similarly, the last date/time played can be gotten almost as easily on a unix system.

If you can do that with a unix function (writed in C) it can by added to VDJ (in theory)... ahhh the useful grep function... And this can also do the trick to find any text in the songs database too...
