Topic: Using 'browsed_song' to edit play count

This topic is old and might contain outdated or incorrect information.

I'm not sure if it's not possible as I don't think it's included in the ID3 Tag data, but:

Is there a way to edit a song's playcount attribute using the browsed_song function?

e.g. browsed_song 'playcount' 1 / browsed_song 'playcount' +1 etc.

I essentially want to set pad buttons to increase and decrease a songs play count by 1 if it's possible

So you basically want the play count to be wrong? You want to mark it as played X times even if it hasn't been?

Er......why?
 
I use rekordbox also as I use CDJ's of a weekend but use VDJ as my primary database.

There doesn't seem to be any easy way to import play counts so I do it manually and I'm looking for ways to improve my workflow
 
It's not in the verb list yet (I'll see to that) I'll give the script a poke & prod once I'm home.

And you're correct, it's not a ID3 tag.
 
fantastic! nice one
 
Looks like that field can't be manipulated by script and in all honesty i don't think script is the best way to do it.
RB will have a history M3U,
And you could make a playlist that mirrors your CDs.
You could drop the time needed for a track to be counted as played and skip thru the playlist.
(You could script that bit)


You could include itwish list
 
you can always just change it in the tag editor :-)
 
That's what he does, he's looking for a way for the machine to do the grunt work.
 
Will be added to browsed_song in a next update.
