Is it possible to show play counts in Artists or Album view in iTunes 11?

There are some beautiful new changes to iTunes 11, but also some things I really like have been taken away. One of them is being able to see my playcouts as I browse. Not just in the playlist or songs list view.
Does anyone know if there is any way to show play counts in Artists or Album view in iTunes 11?

typo... sorry
I have 3 product codes that I want to report on - Mold, Repair, and Production. For Mold and Repair, I want to print out only the top 1 job for each order. For Production, I want to print all jobs. I have GH1 to group by ProdCode. GH2 groups by Orders. Detail A section has a formula to suppress if ProdCode = Production. Detail B suppresses if ProdCode is not Production. I can get the suppresion to work but I don't know how to get the Top 1 to show when Detail A is shown.
Obviously I'm new at Crystal Reports - about 3 weeks.
Thanks for your help...

Is it possible to view information such as play count on Artist view in itunes 11?

is it possible to view information such as play count on Artist view in itunes 11?

There is no column view for the artist tab in iTunes 11. The songs are chunked up by album, no option for list view, let alone column chooser. Also, everything under view > column browser is grayed out.

Is it possible to show the count of number or rows in table on the Home page Tab button.

Is it possible to show the count of number or rows in table on the Home page Tab button.
On home page there is a Tab called Count and I want to show the count on the right corner of this tab button.
Please help

Create an application item. APP_HOME_COUNT.
Create an application process:
make the application process type "on new instance" if you only want this to run once
make it "on load before header" if you want to have the value set every page load
application process source:
select count(*) into APP_HOME_COUNT from <your table>
modify the tab name to reference the app item, maybe something like "Count(&APP_HOME_COUNT.)"
result should look like this "Count(5)"
Good Luck,

How to transfer library with play count and top 25 playlist to another itunes library?

Hi,
I would like to transfer all my music, with the play count and top 25 most played and other playlists to another iTunes library on a Mac. How would I go about doing this?

What exactly are you trying to do? You already have another library on the computer and wish to add items from another library? This is not easily done and meeting all the requirements you have posted. While it is possible to transfer play count I think it is one of the things that requires Applescripting knowledge.
If you are just wanting to move a library from one place to another that is possible, though still tricky because you start encountering user permissions.

View play count in 'artists' view???

On the new iTunes 11, under 'Artists' viewing pane, it has the rating, play time etc , but is it possible to view the play count in there as well???? Thanks

They've "cleaned up" the display, but made it much harder to view complete albums with art and all other fields of interest. I quite like the new Artists and Albums views for playback and some tasks, but I really miss the Album List view of iTunes 10. The Songs view doesn't really cut it for me.

Album view in iTunes 11 unusable because singles showing as "Unknown Album"

I have lots of "singles" in my collection (ie mp3s with nothing in the "album" field) as well as lots of albums.
Because of this, the "albums" view in iTunes 11 is virtually unusable, as 80% of the music shows as "Unknown Album" and prevents me from just browsing genuine albums.
Is there a ways to fix this so that the "albums" view only contains tracks that really are from albums? Nothing I've tried (e.g. flagging them as "part of a compilation") seems to make a difference.
thanks,

Thanks - I have already done sonething similar with a number of smart-playlists myself, but this is a poor workaround and means the pre-built views in iTunes are useless. It's also something else to think about every time I import a new song so that it doesn't get lost.
Like lots of people, I've got loads of singles, mixes, radio shows and other music that is not groupable by album, and I find it ridiculous that iTunes hinders, rather than helps, to manage this.. Coupled with the appalling new search functionality this new version makes it harder than ever to navigate my music collection.

Can't play video podcasts in the album view box in iTunes 8

I can't figure out how play video podcasts in the album view box (bottom left hand side) in the new iTunes 8. I could do it before w/7 but I don't remember what option I had checked off.
Thanks in advance

Let me know what you find out. I bought the new 80Gb ipod and I am having the same problem on long podcasts. It just reboots.

Is it possible to sync play counts and a ratings between PC's?

I recently got a new pc and am in the process of moving everything over to it, I'm wondering if I can sync my two accounts?

My own experience is that the play count transfer from the Classic to iTunes is extremely erratic. Some times it transfers the information and sometimes it doesn't.
It's been discussed here before and seems to be a bug which Apple have not yet addressed.

Play counts wont sync between iPhone & PC with iTunes Match enabled

How can I get play counts to sync from my iphone 4 to itunes on my PC now that I have enabled itunes match?
I want all my devices to know what music I am into at the moment!
Things I have tried:
I have updated all of the software to the latest versions (ios6 and itunes 10.7),
I have tried disabling & re-enabling itunes match on my phone and PC several times
I have turned everything possible off and on.

This is a known shortfall with IOS devices.

Play Counts from iPhone aren't transferring into iTunes?

I own an iPhone 3G and have the latest version of iTunes.
I am a person who is . . . proud of their play counts for certain songs and I am a bit upset that one certain song in my whole library (or, so it looks like it) does not seem to be getting the play counts transferred into iTunes. I know I'm not crazy and I honestly expected the song to jump 50-100 play counts up, but it stayed relatively low.
Just right now, I synced my phone and the play count for a new song (just added yesterday), which I absolutely adore, has a play count of over 50. (I have put it in repeat the whole day. :P)
So, I know something might be wrong; is this possible that certain songs don't transfer their play count onto iTunes after syncing? Is there a way to fix this?
Please feel free to ask questions and ask to clear up anything confusing I've said.
Thank you!

Hello,
I'm French (and in France so) and I have same problem since 1 or 2 weeks ! It's very difficult for me because I've a lot of smart playlist based on playcount...
Each day, I have to change playcount manually on iTunes (with scripts) for good working next day.
Like you, I've tried reinstalling and restoring without success. I think this problem appears for me since iOS 8.02 but not sure.
The only difference with you is my iPhone is 6 not 5... so the problem is not the phone but iOS or iTunes...
I hope a correction soon : iOS 8.1 ?
Macbook Pro, iPhone 6, iOS 8.02, iTunes 11.4
PS : Because english is difficult, I posted on french forum but no answer since 3 days...

Is there any way I can update my play count from my iPod to the same iTunes library on my computer that does not have any play counts?

I recently transferred my data (music, apps, etc.) to a new computer via transferring purchases and Home Sharing and only a few songs had play counts. On my older computer, all the songs had at least some documentation of a playcount. Thinking that I could figure it out, I reset the play count for the songs on the new computer. Is there any way I could get the play counts onto the computer w/out them via iPod or Home Sharing. I look forward to hearing a reply. Thank you.

HELPPP ME BEFORE CHRISTMASS MORNING!!

Will play count and playhead position sync back to iTunes?

I have a bunch of smart playlists that contain all the unplayed episodes of my favorite podcasts. If I drag these onto the Shuffle, will the play count and playhead position from my Shuffle sync back to iTunes?
It seems like the answer is no -- this is really a one-way copy to the Shuffle, and not a "sync".

The iPod shuffle is supposed to maintain a "played" flag for played tracks. I don't know if podcasts will work the same way as normal tracks, but I can't think of a good reason why they wouldn't. Having said that, after the iTunes 8.1 update, my shuffle's marking the wrong tracks as "played" and leaving the actually played tracks unmarked, so until the iTunes team comes up with a fix for all the bugs they introduced in that update, anything goes.

Is there a way to show album year in "albums view" in iTunes?

I have around 1500 albums and I like viewing them all in my albums view with the cover showing. I have sorted them by year which works, but when you are scrolling through them all the years are just bunched together (they are in order though). In previous versions of itunes I would be able to see "2013" and then all albums from that year below... then "2014" then all albums below etc. If I scroll through all my albums back to 2003 for instance, its hard for me to tell what year I am in. So is there a way to get the year to show? I know I had this in the past working, but maybe this feature was removed in itunes 11. thanks for any input!!

Thanks! Header was the word I was looking for. Maybe they will bring this feature back in an update or in Itunes 12.
Thanks!

IPod Touch messes up the play count

I was wondering if im the only one with this problem. Every time when i connect the ipod touch to my PC (currently still PC but getting a Mac on sunday), and than disconnecting it again, using it a while and connecting it again, the play count of some songs are completely wrong. For instance i listened to a song 4 times and suddenly the playcount shows like 253 or something. i dont sync the ipod touch with my pc library because i dont want to. is that the problem?
oh and another quick question (not topic related), is it possible to copy the information files which are used for my ipod touch to keep track of such things as play count, title, artist, album etc, onto the iTunes library? because some of my songs dont have the correct info and i sorted everything on my ipods library which i wanna transfer to the computer (not the music files itself. only info files). is that possible?
cheers and thanks

i am having the exact same problem.
my ipod touch puts play counts up to over 1000 after listening a couple of times..
make sure music is just stopped, not just paused on a playlist, and you dont have it on repeat mode.
i have had to reset all of my play counts of every song (right click in itunes > reset play count)
i think i may take it back if this keeps happening.

My iPod Shuffle 4th Generation refuses to sync up the PC plays count

As soon as a new podcast episode arrives in my Podcasts iTunes library, it shows up in that library with a plays count = 0. When I start up iTunes and update the podcasts, I then copy all new (unplayed) podcasts to a Playlist named "1-UnheardPodcasts", then mark all unplayed podcasts in that playlist as Played, thereby setting the play count on those podcast episodes to 1. I then copy a bunch of podcasts to my iPod shuffle 4th gen and wander off cackling into the night to listen to those podcasts. In the fullness of time, I return to my PC, fire up iTunes, plug in my shuffle and see that the shuffle shows the plays count (on the episodes I have listened to) as 2. I then sync the iPod to iTunes but the plays count in my "1-UnheardPodcasts" playlist and in the podcasts library both stubbornly remain set to 1. I then have to manually pretend to listen to the podcasts in iTunes again, fast forward to the end of each podcast, let it finish, then the plays counts everywhere are set to 2. I can then delete the plays count 2 episodes from my "1-UnheardPodcasts" playlist and all is right with the world and I'm ready for new episodes to randomly appear in my podcasts library.
My older first generation shuffles (both of which died and were replaced by the 4th gen shuffle recently) did not have this problem. Sync from those would always update the plays count on the iTunes application on my PC to match what it showed for the plays count on the shuffle.
What's up with that? Is there any way to fix this? It happens whether or not I completely fill up the shuffle.
I also have problems with getting back to where I left off if I stop playing a podcast by pressing the centre button on the iPod face and then try to resume play a few minutes later. If I shut down the shuffle and restart it, it seems to always resume play from where it left off.
I've got everything turned on in the iPod settings menu except the thing about reserving disk space for Windows files.
I've got what claims to be the latest version (11.0.4) of iTunes running under Windows 7 (64 bit) on a BIOSTAR MB with an AMD phenom II X4 820 2.8 GHz quad core processor with 8 GB of RAM and at least 50 GB of free disk space.
When I click on check for updates with the iPod attached on the iPod settings window, it comes back with "you have the latest version"

If you are loading the shuffle manually, by dragging podcast episodes to the shuffle in iTunes, that is probably why the playcount does not update in your iTunes library, after playing the podcast episode on the shuffle (and then connecting the shuffle).
When you use the manual method to load the shuffle, the iTunes library on the computer and the library on the shuffle are separate. iTunes does not keep the two libraries "in sync." Therefore, data such as playcount are not synced back to the computer when you connect the shuffle.
If you set up automatic syncing using the shuffle's Podcasts screen in iTunes, iTunes keeps your iTunes library in sync with the shuffle's library (based on how you set up the shuffle's Podcasts screen). So data, such as playcount, should sync back to the iTunes library. In your case, if you maintain a playlist in iTunes with the unheard podcast episodes you want on the shuffle, you can select that playlist on the shuffle's Podcasts screen in iTunes (where it says Include Episodes from Playlists). iTunes will automatically keep that playlist in sync between your computer and the shuffle.
NOTE: If you are currently NOT using automatic syncing, and you also have music on the iPod, you will also need to set up the shuffle's Music screen in iTunes. When you start using automatic syncing, any content on the shuffle that was loaded manually is replaced.
The 1st and 2nd gen shuffles used a different very simple software design, compared to other iPods. They did not have an automatic syncing mode. You loaded it manually, but it was linked to only one iTunes library at a time. Therefore, although you loaded it manually, iTunes does keep data (such as playcount) in sync. On all other iPods, including the newer shuffles, iTunes only keeps the data in sync if you use automatic syncing.
